This may help?

A friend sent me this when I was having 'in law' problems. I was being constantly criticised and put down, this effected my relationship with food.

I thought sharing it may help anyone out there who isn't getting the recognition and support they deserve. I hope ok to share?

Hope you are all having a lovely Thursday 😘

Very true 😊 you can’t make people like you, all you can do is like yourself 😊

You are worthwhile and deserve good nutrition and a healthy life 😊

Thanks Anna, I have realised success is to care, love and respect myself. Fill my body with the nutrients it deserves and break the pattern of turning to the wrong foods in a crisis. πŸ‘πŸ»βœ”οΈ

Wow that's a great share. I've been obsessing over this guy not liking me and I just have to let it go..I'm just an ego boost to him because I have a crush on him...

Aww Justswimming... that's a tough one. Wishing you all the best x

Ah wise words! Oprah said once that the best decisions usually come easily. ;-)

Sometimes we swim against the tide trying to make relationships into something they are not. I learned a long while ago that you don't have to push someout out of your life completely if you don't get your expectations met. You can let that person 'go' in another way, you can let them off the hook of your expectation and change their role. A friend who lets you down and isnt there for you for eg doesn't deserve to be trusted with your innermost feelings, but they can be the friend who makes you laugh over dinner!

Learning as I go.

I think your article clip is brill.

Hi Happybeee, 😁.

You have changed your name from happyBibi?

Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

I'm just going slow and steady enjoying the peace.

I'm back on track and starting a fresh.

Hopefully you are doing well today.

Enjoy your weekend.

Kind regards George 56

Thanks Happybee. I've been a people pleaser for years, now plan on having more 'me time'. I'm not cutting people out, just making myself less available to their demands. πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
