So I am a very low-key person, I like to have a very stable group of freinds and hike or travel, I'm not really the typical binge drinking smoking college kid.  With my low-key lifestyle I hardly ever encounter drama, which is why today was so hard.

One of my best friends drastically betrayed me today and treated me horribly despite all the things I do for her.

 

So today I was hurt and more focused on that today, not to mention finals studying, so my food log might look a little less regulated.  I love having this blog though because it keeps me more accountable for my choices.

I did work out today-only 20 min on the lateral, but it's okay.  Food might not have gotten an A+ today, but it certainly didn't get a D- either.  Food wasn't really on my mind today and I do have to note stress drives me towards less healthy choices, but over-all I think I did a good job in handling my emotional stress without giving in too much to the self-destructive habbit of constant stress-overeating.

 

Being sad over people who mistreat you and then adopting more self-destructive patterns that people often do when we're sad is only giving that person power over our lives.

 

Don't give them the power to mess with your mind or your self worth or your goals.

 

Be confident and loving.  When people hurt you, rather than hurting them back or hurting yourself more, I think it is helpful to just reflect on the fact that you didn't harm anyone, that if you did, you would have to look at yourself in the mirror every day knowing how you hurt people.  Let your bullies or your aggressors look at themselves in the mirror and cope with what they see. 

 

You are becoming more and more who you want to be, and you really are a genuinely valuable person.  Don't let them change your true core.
