I have had a very interesting two weeks is the way I will start this post. Sometimes in life you have to take a week off to rethink and reflect on your life so you can move forward.
This week however was a little better and I can finally let you in on why I did not post last week. I had to let go of some friends so that I could grow forward.
That sucked for me big time but in life sometimes you have to let go so that you can grow. I am always the one to quickly give advice but in this case I had to take my own words and eat them.
I have a food addiction that is crazy hard to kick! But I have made huge accomplishments that I am proud of. But there has been a few nails in my path that kept me falling off track so I had to take a new path in order to reach my destination.
The thing that sucks most to me is letting go of people you love in order to grow. I feel that influence is a crazy device that we or at least I sometimes take for granted.
If you are on a diet and find yourself surrounded by a kick ass cook that knows your weaknesses you might have to say goodbye. If I plan to go completely raw and stick to it then that means I have to change many things including anything that stands in my way of success on my weight loss and health journey.
So in this case I have had to make choices I did not want to but in the long run my health will thank me later.
I want to know if any of you guys have had to let go of someone you love just so you can succeed at something? Have you ever been in my shoes where you loved someone and said enough so that you could grow.
It dosnt make anyone a bad person or means that the mass is out to get you. But I am feeling like to become successful I have to saround myslef around folks who understand what I am up against. I have to put my self in the gym and in the spirit of health and any negative vibes has to just end now.
I have to channel my thoughts to be positive and any negative vibes will be used like fuel to push my into fat burning madness! I am now turning into Mr. Meltdown fully and have to use my mind instead of my appitite as a guide to better health.
Now is my time to let go even if it means letting go of anything or anyone that stands in the way of me reaching my goals. I will end this post today with a quote from one of my heroes, Earl Nightingale..
“We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
Earl Nightingale”

Sometimes I have to wonder why things are so tough sometimes. In many of my endevours I feel so alone. My family are the negative type and friends; well I can count them on one hand; seriously. Networking with positive people is of the utmost importance. Persons who have been through what you are going through now or people with vision. I try to let go of my negative family in my mind, you know, but it is difficult because they are always around me. As Mr. Zig Ziglar said \" If you don’t reach down and pull up people, by sheer weight of numbers they may reach up and pull you down." Keep growning Mr M!
Thanks for that one Cherylann! I can always count on you for a inspirational boost when I need it. That message was right on time.
What a hugely important move you made! I see now how much it helped you stick to your plan!
