venting
Hey everyone, I just had to release some anger. I have worked so hard on trying to improve my body, and there is so much negativity that i’m getting..People are like oh your too small, or your borderline anorexic which is stupid as hell, or you can’t be healthy and are you eating enough..Now I do get great compliments from a lot of other people but the negativity part of it, is just getting to me. I have a specific goal, I set for myself. I don’t want to be flabby, I want a beautiful, sculpted body, but people don’t seem to understand that. When i tell people I want muscle they give me this look like i’m crazy or something. I’m 5′8 and 159 from anorexic or crackish. Sometimes people don’t get it, and i guess they never will. My hubby loves it, so I can’t really concern myself with anyone else..Thanks everyone for letting me vent..It’s just one of them days..

Don’t let other people discourage you! It sounds to me like they are just jealous. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work.

What the hell are they talking about? Don’t let it get to you. Jealousy shows up in many forms and “hating” is the most common. Keep up the hard work.

Never let other folks negative comments bring you down. They are probably jealous of the hard work you have done to get fit and fabulous! As long as you are healthy, happy and your husband is happy then let the haters hate. As the comedian Katt Williams once said "If you’re a woman and you got 14 haters, you need to figure out how to get to 16 by the time the summer is over!"
It’s those folks who let you know that you are making great progress towards getting your goals. The more they hate the more you know you are achieving your dreams.
I think your progress pictures are very inspiring and I’m more motivated to get to my goal and be in much better shape after my six months of exercising. I’m like wow she did it so I’m going to get to my goal too!

Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go in reaching many people in our community about healthy living and fitness. And ‘bodybuiding’ comes with it’s own set of misconceptions. What you are doing takes discipline and diligence and many people take that personally because they want to do it, too. Keep reaching your goals and living your healthiest life. It’s good for the entire family!

I have to say I have heard the same here (I am in Iraq). Are you eating enough? How much more weight are you going to loose, blah blah blah. As long as you are happy and not sick, that is what matters. You look awesome and by your pictures I can tell you are quite happy with the results. Don’t let other people’s hate affect you.
God bless
