JEALOUSY - WHAT YOU FEED WILL GROW.
Hello people of God. How is
everybody doing? My ratchet self is fine and in a really good mood today.
My life has been a roller coaster
of events for the last few weeks and i am not complaining. Woke up this morning
loving on myself.
Anyway today am going to
speak on jealousy. That feeling of oohh
bleeh here she goes again because she has lost some weight she is not going to
let us here word? Does that sound familiar? Well am going to be honest. Yes it
does sound familiar, it happens to the best of us.
When I was much bigger (many
years ago) LMAO. Ignore me. As I was
saying, those people that once donned the pouch and all of a sudden the thing
just disappeared and they are like taaadaaaa, now you see me now you don’t they used to annoy the hell out of my
existence and the all of a sudden i was a very bitter hater because i wanted to
lose weight too and i just couldn't.
You see the thing is I realised that that
annoyance actually welled up from the fact that I just could mass up the will
power to do what it is that they had done to take charge of my lives. It takes
a whole lot of discipline to be able to stand before food that you love and not
put that shit in your mouth.
I was the “we will start
next Monday girl” the one that messes up with 5 slices of bread and butter
smeared all over and almost half of the tin of milk poured in my tea at
breakfast and I sit and say I have ruined this Monday, so I might as well go
and get chicken republic or yamaraita ( i miss naija) and ruin the rest of the week and start next Monday or the 1st
of the Month. You all know i eventually started my weight loss journey on the
22nd of May.
My life back then was a
constant struggle between, i want to look good naked and i want to eat a 5 pound burger with a bowl of fries. Lord have mercy. Yeah. not until I started this
journey in its self before I realised how hard it was and how i have no business being jealous of someoene else who had put in the work .You can hate from outside
of the club, when you can’t even get in. when you have been waiting to exhale
and just breath, and have finally being able to literarily and figuratively drop
all of the weight off of your shoulder, you can’t help but show the world how
happy you are. I agree there are over doers but there should be no limit to how
much of your hard work you should be able to show off.
Losing weight has got to
be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. If you have ever tried to do something it doesn't
even have to be weight loss, like anything, And tried and failed and tried and
failed and then you finally succeed? There is this exhilarating feeling like
yes I am more than conqueror.
That’s exactly how it is
when you lose weight. It is a very hard grueling process... I had recently opened
up about how I gained back some of the weight I lost. I went back to that place
of no control and that is the worst thing ever when you have somehow managed to
come out of that place and you find yourself back exactly where u started,
This post is basically to
tell those that have to feelings at the pit of their stomachs to scream at
someone who has worked hard for whatever it is and is now breathing a sigh of
relief AKA showing off. Let us let them LIVE.
Before you raise your nose at someone else or smack your lips and roll
them eyes, first try to ask yourself this question, has there ever been
anything that I truly ever wanted? And worked hard at and finally achieved? How
did u feel after? Uhmmmm yes exactly excited.
Jealousy is not a good
look on anybody.it can drive some absolutely insane behavior, Some of us do not even know we are doing it or having this
feeling. This person has been deemed bad in your head because you have created
this image of them in your head sub consciously. I am not going to lie; I am ‘MRS
THAT GIRL/BOY JUST ANNOYS ME” for no justifiable reason. I am learning to try
to see the good in people, there are still some douche bags that walk the
surface of this earth and guise themselves as human being, but every once in a
while you come around and meet people who make you look up and say thank you
God for restoring my faith in humanity.
I focus more on these kinds
of people and learn as much as I can from them. Perception is reality believe
it or Not. I am obviously going to have to hit the nail on the head before I
leave here, you all know I like to keep it 100 using myself as examples most
times.
Stop being jealous of
other people’s successes, all that glitters is not gold. Most of the time what
you see is actually not what you get because, a lot of underground, sleepless
nights and planning and trials and tribulations went into that person successes.
You see someone married
with kids and you are single, you don’t know how many miscarriages or
complications she had before she was blessed with that baby,
You see someone with a
better job than you, you don’t know how may rejection emails she got before she
landed what is now your dream job,
you see someone else lose
100 pounds and is rocking her crop top, you don’t know how many nights she sat
up and cried to God to help her with her will power or the work she put in to
get there, your first inclination is to JUDGE ,JUDGE, JUDGE and smack those
lips some more STOP IT!
This message goes out to
all of us, myself included. Learn how to see the good in people and their
situations even the ones that are truly annoying.
Always remember that when u
start to feel some type of way for no just reason, i will advise you to just go
on your knees and face your maker and ask him to help you behave yourself.what you feed (jealousy) will grow and turn you into a monster.
Alright loves as of today i have lost 30 lbs of the 67 lbs i gained what what.. I am really a force to be
reckoned with I am so proud of myself. i do not tell myself that enough.
I am out of here loves. Talk
to you all later
Love and light,
Nossybelle out..Xx

It's funny that you wrote about this. I have actually been reflecting on this for a while now. I was thinking on Cain and Abel and how Cain got jealous that Abel's offering was accepted by God and he was rejected. God said to him that if he did the right thing he would be accepted.
Sometimes we indeed envy people who have paid the price when we have not. I am learning to focus on my track, do the right thing, put in the effort and pray to God for excellent results.
I love the issues you bring up, they are truly relatable and real.
