What the .... is wrong with some people?!

Some people for whatever reason are just horrible for no reason it seems. I follow a lot of fanpages for motivation and to inspire me. I need constant inspiration to keep me on track as I'm not naturally motivated to eat healthy.

Anyway two of the the pages I follow include 'Kelly Rennie' a fitness model and 'Tone it up' who offer online exercise and food plans helping people reach their goals.

Both of these pages will often give free exercise routines or tips hence I follow them, but I've been so saddened to see despite this they've both been on the receiving end of insults and this is unfortunately just two of the many pages I've seen this on.

I wanted to highlight this because when your on the road to success there will always be someone who will want to see you fail. It's important to not let them get to you and realise you are doing so well.

'Tone it up' shared a photo of a before and after of someone following their plan. This girl looked amazing and clearly had worked so hard, but whilst most commented to say how good she looked and what an inspiration she was,  other comments included 'Still room for improvement!'. The girl is now a healthy size and lean but  feminine, however comments like this is when people can take things too far and it makes me so angry. No wonder people get depressed or end up with eating disorders.

'Kelly Rennie' had a baby 8 weeks ago and was in amazing shape before falling pregnant and kept up with exercises that are safe to do so whilst pregnant. She also ate highly nutrient based foods to keep herself in the best shape whilst pregnant. When she had her baby girl she kept up the healthy eating but no dieting and after 6 weeks when it was safe to do so she started exercising again. As she was in such great shape before falling pregnant and kept up what was safe to follow whilst pregnant it meant after just 8 weeks after giving birth her stomach looked flat.

Here are the photo's, which I believe most of us could only dream of having a stomach like this just 8 weeks later. For me it motivates me to train for my next pregnancy before falling pregnant as I find it truly inspiring.

However some of the comments include 'Kim was in better shape than that the day she got out after having Corey...fact' and 'its not that rare or impressive'!

Now if you truly believe this then fair enough but why say it? Why even follow her if you don't like what she does? To me if you don't like what you see then just 'unlike' it's really that simple. Why dampen someones spirits?

I personally don't believe anyone should hope to get the results Kelly has,  it's unrealistic for many of us and it could make you feel slightly down when you don't look like this. However for me it makes me want to be in  fantastic shape before falling pregnant next time. Not by dieting but just healthy eating and exercise.
So always remember when trying to succeed we all need a little help along the way so search for role models to aspire too, but ultimately be yourself and be prepared for the haters. Don't let them succeed in making you give up. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean you can't. It is possible if you believe it.
Wishing you loads of success,
