I did it! I'm back to 177.7 lbs, the weight I was before all the Christmas chocolate temptations that I eventually gave into them. I now have a new starting point and I'm going to make 2015 count!

On another note...I know I blog and have a degree of privacy with my thoughts but I also have a filter in my mind before I post, not true for Facebook users in my family. I'm not even on Facebook and somehow they are trying to suck me into their silly highschool dramas.

Just like with a radio station "if you don't like what your hear change the channel"...well "if you don't like what someone else posted (not about you) then move on!" I told them all I didn't appreciate them trying to pull me into things that don't concern me, don't have my name on it, to try and get someone else to justify their own point of view.

Freedom of speech works both ways, so the poster should put a filter on it if they can't handle backlash of their thoughts...which by the way aren't private anymore once you shared on a social media platform...so don't get upset if anyone comments; after all that's why you're there in the first place...to communicate. If you don't want people to comment then turn off that feature.

Anyway, I usually send positive quotes to a particular group of family members every morning and today I sent this one because it really hit home in "every" aspect, including my own annoyance with the situation.

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." ~~ Carl Jung

Now I'm letting go of these feelings and moving on with balance until the next bump knocks me over...but I will get right back up again...because Iam stronger than that.
