NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR
PAST
The Pangs of Hunger and
Perception
Through your darkest times, there
will always be a beacon of light shining through the regret that
makes up the wetness in your tears. Your sorrows, coupled with the
devastating pain creates building blocks that allow you to rise
toward your purpose. Your new height then reveals that
you made no mistakes; you were just separated from your soul, so
heartbreak had a place to rest. I wrote that when I was fourteen and
had spent the night contemplating my first attempt at suicide. The
relentless harnessing of trying to anticipate the amount and depth of
ridicule I would receive for my too tight jeans and popped buttons on
my flannel shirts when I walked into the school the next day was
suffocating. My wardrobe consisted of husky everything and oversized
adult shirts. Not the fashion statement a teenage girl would hope to
set. However, writing has always been a refuge to release the power
of pain when escape was inevitable, and the food was not available. Today, I own one pair of fashion
jeans and flannel has yet to make a comeback in my wardrobe. It’s
easier now to look back on some experiences that used to crush my
soul but now only sting a bit. I can’t recount them without any te
of painful coating; the two go hand-in-hand it’s just some memories
hurt less than others. Once again, you may be questioning
what does this have to do with losing weight? Some may even be
getting slightly nervous that this next juncture is going to hit a
little too close to home. Still, others are losing connection and
have almost justified the reason this process is not for them, and
they can quit without guilt. That is such a fancy way of saying this
book is going to be hurled across the room or thrown straight in the
trash. But, hold on. Bear down through any emotional reaction that
separates you from the truth and use your intellect to be still. Take
a break. Reassure yourself that everything is going to be just fine
and say it enough times until you believe it. Remember from goal
setting we are working toward balancing the emotional and
intellectual responses to merge in the middle instead of using the
either-or concept and stay in active addiction. You should always question anything
you don’t understand it’s called self-care. You have every right
to be nervous whenever your instincts are flared up. That’s what
they are there to do. Your instincts warn you to pause and
re-evaluate before going further. Always honor them and never, ever
dismiss them as nothing. They are God [if you believe] or the
Universe [if you don’t] sending you signals to pause and think
before determining your next right move.
