"Don't judge people from their break down, but judge them from how they come back after a set back" - Shannan Ponton - Biggest Loser Trainer Australia
Now that's a nice way to live I think, its not about the melt down, but how someone comes back into the game after the melt down. Although it could be said that we all tend to judge someone from our first glances, its not fair and this is how many of us have been judged before someone even takes the time to know us.
I have fallen off the wagon and thankfully not too many people have judged me for it. In actual fact I think I may have been the only one to harshly judge myself from it. I think I need to start giving myself the benefit of judging me the way I judge others, and that is not harshly, but to also know when I am bullshitting myself.
Thankfully I have lost the same amount that I put on after my little break down, and I can tell you with my emotions the way they are I may have some more break downs in the near future, but I won't commit myself to the break downs before they happen and pre-empt them.
One day at a time is all I can do and commit to.
I pledge to do my best and this is the best that I can do, be good to myself and treat myself with respect that I so others. Stop all the negative talk and start with the positive talk.
The P!nk Song - Fuckin' Perfect, hits such a strong note in me - Lyrics below:
Made a wrong turn, one or twice
Dug my way our, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel like
Like your less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like your nothing
Your fuckin' perfect to me!
Your so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with such hatred.....such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like your less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever feel like your nothing
Your fuckin' perfect to me!
The whole world is scared so shallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and its a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause their everywhere
Don't like my jeans, don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby ..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like your less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like your nothing, your fuckin' perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like your nothing
Your fuckin' perfect to me

I think that is an excellent quote. We ALL have breakdowns from time to time. We're all entitled to them. Without them, I don't think we would be human. Every now and then life just throws so much at us, we buckle under the weight.
But that isn't what is important. It's that we get back up and how we do it afterward that matters. That is where the true healing is.
That sounds awesome. I agree-it's all in how you respond. I have no doubt in you, my dear, you're a strong lady.

Pink is an amazing artist, standing up for what she believes in...
Good luck on the challenge. I think you will be just fine. You just need to believe in yourself a little more. :)
Good luck with this challenge. Yes it'll be hard, well not really if we follow it word for word but having someone else tells us the way to do things is hard. You can do this, I know you can.
Take care and thanks for sharing. Have a blessed evening.
