Tonight I was reminded of a conversation I had nearly 25 years ago in a group meeting at Weight Watchers. (Yes my mamma said to do something about your freshman 15 before you regret it. Thanks Mom!). The leader said the following words that I have never forgotten: . "People will do whatever they can to sabotage your success. They are so jealous that you have set out to do what they've failed to do. How could you do it without them?" . Not once but twice tonight I had a conversation regarding sabotage. A husband made cinnamon rolls for dinner (for dinner?) while a wife was trying to eat clean and healthy. Then a friend received a hateful message about what she posts on her personal FB page. I think that was driven from jealously because she works really hard on her healthy, fitness and happiness. . I'm frustrated and infuriated that people are so bold to be so mean. No matter how much sensitivity training and how much we promote we have no tolerance for bullying I see a tremendous amount of it done in private messages and in comments where people hide behind the security of their computer screen. . THIS IS YOUR REMINDER that their insecurities, weaknesses and petty bullshit should have no effect on you. Ever. I know that it sometimes hard to let it roll off your back but let it and eliminate the negativity. . Never take on someone else's hate. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. My mamma taught me something else growing up. She told me to take the high road, to never give that person attention and to walk away. That was hard for me going through junior high - but now I'm forever grateful. Because sometimes I get hate for the way I chose to be a survivor. . Go figure. Someone not faced with cancer has a better idea about my personal survival. I refuse to let anyone take me down. I didn't choose to survive to be taken down by anyone. . You're amazing and don't ever forget it. . -Anne 🎀 . #BeFearless
