Let Them

I’ve been reading the book “the Let Them Theory” and it’s helped me deal with other peoples opinions on my weight loss and the fact that I use Wegovy. I can’t control how people will react. If they have a negative reaction to my smaller body or they say or feel snarky about my using ‘drugs’ to achieve my goals, that’s not on me. All I can control is myself and my reactions. If people want to be negative… let them! It’s so freeing! I am happy and healthy and that’s all that matters. This has helped me let go of the shame…I highly recommend this book as a helpful resource on this journey. SW 186 CW 133 height 5’6” age 55

So I love this! Though I’m a little upset that while this has been my life motto since I was like 5 I didn’t think to write a book and make the money haha. It’s been a popular one lately (including myself reading it)

I would ask them right away if they want to cover my medical bills for being overweight, or my gym bill, or my expensive groceries. Do they want to pay for my bigger clothes because nothing would fit? No? Well, it's easy, they either pay for the lifestyle they think I should have....or shut up.

I've been fortunate in that no one has said anything negative to me yet. Just as well since they'd get an earful.

I have no shame about being on the sauce. I have to live in this body, not them.
