Weight loss is a "Mind over Matter" affair.

I have been at the point of depression. People will mock me for being fat in public. Asking me to watch what I eat so I don't inconvenience others in public places.

I was hurt! I felt worthless when ever I'm treated that way in public. But I never stop eating wrongly. My eating habits was so wrong, and workout was never an option.

I was never in relationships as my partners don't stick around for too long. But luckily I met Adams. For the first time in my life I was in love, and wanted what we had to last. As usual he left, and I knew why.

Losing Adam was a blow to my entire life; my heart, and my self esteem. I reached out to him severally but he will just ignore. Until one day he deemed it fit to send me a text. Advising me to fix my unhealthy life before fixing my relationship.

I played the self pity card , tried coming off as the victim. I became very lonely and aggressive. Sinking more and more into depression. Then it happened! I saw a picture of Adams and his girlfriend on Facebook. She was looking all shades of cute. So this was what he wanted? Sexy and classy.

I was so hurt, but more ashamed of myself for letting what I eat control me. I cleared out my refrigerator, bought some workout clothes, as well as trainers. And that was it! When working out, I motivated myself with the picture of Adams and his girl. I will focus my mind on them and take my frustration out on the machines at the gym.

Yes! It payed off! I got a job, friends and boyfriend. Most importantly I got back my self esteem. The picture of Adam and his girl became what I used to escape the matter of cravings and pity. That became my mind over matter.

I hope this helps someone. You don't need to wait for your Adams. Find a reason to be healthy and alive.
