This is SO true. There will be a challenge in everything you do. I believe that if you work for it, you deserve it and respect it. It goes for everything in life. But for a woman to fight for her body, it shows she cares and will not take a load of crap. You can put her down but she's just going to fight harder. I feel the same. I have to fight for my body. I gave up for a short amount of time and lost it all. Now, I have to fight harder for what I want. And believe me, it is a lot harder than before. It's depressing when you can't do the things that used to be so simple last year. Yes, I have a medical reason as to why I gained so much weight in such a short time... but that will not be my excuse any longer. That will be my motivation. I will beat this problem and heal myself. I just have to keep my head up and focus on the goal. I just have to make it through the holidays first! :/

Some people have no clue how true this is. There are so many gorgeous women out there who worry about their non-budging weight. They are naturally skinny. There are so many MORE absolutely beautiful women out there who struggle with their weight. They know restraint and strength. They know pain and determination. They know cruelty and hurt from others as well as themselves. And yet, they go places and succeed. They are strong enough to get through the rough times and smile. They don't look back with regret but with a warm heart knowing that they did have a rough time but they pushed through it and can push harder next time. It's a fight. If it knocks you down, you are strong enough to get back up. You just have to believe it.
