Happy to make a lie out of you if you do not come correct

Two things that people have said to me that were mean but I will use them to motivate me.  One because I started with such a high BMI I will probably not make it to goal.  Two you will never be a small woman like me and the woman that said it to me was my mother in law. She is a size ten or twelve.  Those two things stuck with me more than anything cruel that has ever been said to me about my weight. I will make them liars and be as successful as I want to be. I use my haters as motivators only I can determine how successful I will be.    

HF, people say the most ignorant ish that i've ever heard as a post-op.  So many people who were thin to begin with say things to me like "when are your going to stop, you're going to be thinner than me"?  I take this as an insult and just use it in the gym.  People say things and I'm not sure if they understand the ramifications.

You got that right when I am working hard and want to stop short I think of all the people that will be happy if I let myself down. It keeps me on track also the killer curves I am developing. 

Amen to that!  Claim that success girl. 

 I don't even like rap but there is a video on youtude by some kid name Maino called Hi Hater.  It acknowledges your haters letting them know you know who they are. 

So I say HI HATERS

  You will achieve exactly what you choose to achieve!  There are many here on BAF and other OH'ers cheering you on. Screw the haters. 

You can do it girl.  In the words of Kat Williams, "Let haters do what they do.  Haters are going to hate. They hate!"  You now know where you stand.  Do you.  You can make it to goal.  It doesn't matter that you started a heavy-weight.  AND, I am sorry to inform M-I-L, 10-12 is not that small!  (Don't get me wrong - that's my goal range) but small is like a 4 IMO.  And when you get to a 10, you are going to be so firm and curvy, they are going to really hate you then.  HA!  a pox on them all !!!!!!

@I use my haters as motivators.

 Good for you!

There is a billionaire named Bill Bartman who did just what you are doing.  When he was young, he was a total looser.  He was an alcoholic and in a gang when he was in high school.  But he always wanted to be a success, so he defined success at time as being able to defend himself, so he became a 5th level black belt, but still couldn't support himself.  So he decided that success meant being educated, so he got into college...barely and barely passed it.  Then decided success was law school so he went through amazing challenges, but got into law school and was a lawyer but still had more debt than he could manage.  The whole time, he was dating his high school sweetheart and her sister said, "break up with him. He's looser who will never be anything but trouble. You will never have anything as long as you are with him."  Bill Bartman used that and a few other VERY negative comments to propel him forward. 

Bill then decided that success mean being on the fortune 500.  He set a goal, a time line, kept the picture of it before him, reviewed his goals daily, took action and in 5 years, he was on the fortune 500.  He is a billionaire now BUT he talks about the negative comments motivating him just as much as the positive ones. 

Let the haters be a part of your success plan and when you are there, the victory will be twice as sweet!!!
