I was inspired this morning to create this graphic in the aftermath of two posts made by mommies in the, 'Get your Sexy Back Moms' group on Facebook! One mom posted of being called fat at work! The other mom's story was that of a co worker asking if she was pregnant (directly after working 7 months to take off EVERY LB OF BABY WEIGHT she had gained!!) when she said, 'NO' the person responded with, "Is that just the leftover?" - These posts BROKE MY HEART! That being said I was so proud of the women who had the courage to report such happenings. I know this is the harsh reality that so many women face each and every day, and it is so important for YOU to know that if this is or has happened to you, you are NOT ALONE.
One reason I am so inspired by our group on Facebook is that I love that it shows the good side of human nature, that people (women) can come together to build each other up, instead of tearing each other down! Something that after reading these posts this morning, I realize is missing from much of the world we experience throughout our day.
There are, unfortunately, always going to be sour pusses, whether out of jealousy (YES), insecurity, or just pure mean-ness, and how you learn to cope with it can really make a difference in your fitness success. So do your best to spin it to your advantage, 'let it light a fire under you and not extinguish the flame! It might be hard (but all worthwhile things are) but try to use NEGATIVITY as MOTIVATION. ...That takes the power away from the person spewing it and delivers it justly into your hands. So take that power and RUN WITH IT (literally if possible hehe)
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Make time for a great workout sexy mommas. Don't give up!
