Wind Beneath My Wings
I am so glad to have stumbled upon bodybuilding.com and all of you who are a part of bodyspace. I am the only one in my family who is actively pursuing an active, healthy, lifestyle. Although I know i’m not backing down from my goals for anyone, I privately admit that it bothers me that my transformation into the woman I want to be is causing such an uproar among those closest to me. I know that they all mean well and care deeply about my well-being but there comes a point where I have to do things for me and only I know what really makes me happy. Comments such as, "I like you just the way you are," or "You know that it isn’t proven that drinking a gallon of water does anything good for you," or "Don’t turn anorexic! We’ll have to send you to a clinic," get to me every now and again. I laugh in the moment but on the inside I still wonder why they could even verbalize these thoughts. In the past, comments like that would’ve led to an argument immediately but i’m past that. I can’t control how others feel about what i’m doing, nor can I make anyone around me want better for themselves, but I can decide how i’m going to respond to outside influences. I can decide where I want to go, how far i’m going to take this. I can decide the when and the how. I can decide that it’s time for me.

Mines are more about steriods or you look fine already. I just block it out or if anything Neg people aka haters are my steriods. Keep doing you and if u ever have doubts look at how far u come or hit up your new found friends on here.
