The grass is greener....

I think its far to often, we all look to the other side of the road and see how beautiful the grass is over there. Its so much greener, therefore it has to be better..

Honestly I rarely think about how some people have it worse off than me, I mean I can be pretty damn selfish when it comes down to it. There are so many times that i get wrapped up in my journey that I forget about others that may be suffering. 

The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the road, and for that matter there are people out there that would LOVE to have my life right now... Fuck i feel like a turd just thinking about it, I have been seriously blessed this last year and a half.. My life is a million times better than it was two xmas's ago. 

But I think of how often people complain about their situation, how much they HAVEN'T lost, or there is plateau, or its not fast enough... And forget that there are people out there at 400, 500, 600+ pounds that would kill for gastric bypass, that would do anything if they could lose 40, 50, 60 pounds. I would know last year I was one of those people. But its important to realize where you come from, and be humbled by your success. Realize that though your journey is awesome for you, that there are so many people who have it so much worse than you do. 

Don't get me wrong, I know I have every reason to boast about my journey and how far I have come. As long as I remember that there are people who have no hope, that need help, and that it isn't a race to see who finishes first. If you get one pound off thats one more than the person bed bound by their weight. If you are able to walk one mile, thats one mile more than the person in a wheel chair unable to be free. 

Its important to realize this journey isn't just yours alone, there are so many people who look at some of us who are making it. Who need to see what it can be like with help and guidance. Who are looking for that one person to show them the way.... And if you are constantly complaining about how little you've lost, or that your struggling with your food addictions, or that you are tired of none of your clothing fitting you because your so small.. Maybe you need to sit back and think about all those people who might be reading your wall, your blog, or watching your vlog and wishing they had your problems... 

I hope to change for the better, and I am doing my best to be less of a douche waffle in the process ... <3 

Thats all tonight my pretty little losers, love your favorite Villainess N~
