F/18/5'6 [120>120] Trying to Work on the Ratio Weight Journey Report

Background

The Reddit user tetheredrose posted two photos of herself under the subreddit r/progresspics. The user posted a photo of herself 2 weeks ago in hopes of receiving positive feedback from the community. The two photos depict herself with a belly button ring and a bronzed tan on her skin.

Criticism

To tetheredrose's dismay, the Reddit community was critical of the photos, with one post going so far as to suggest that there was no progress even though 2 weeks had passed. Defending herself, tetheredrose explained that she had indeed lost body weight as she's now smaller around the waist, has more toned thighs, a more defined 6 pack stomach, and her quads are also more defined.

Determination to Reach Goal

Despite the initial negative comments, the Reddit user tetheredrose persisted with determination to achieve her own personal goals. Unfortunately, negative comments have the potential to discourage positive energy and achievement towards one's goal. However, the user's perseverance is a great lesson to us all: don't be daunted by setbacks and criticisms.

Community Support

Rather than the initial criticism, tetheredrose instead received widespread supportive feedback from other users. Posts and comments praised the user for her toned legs and butt, and the overall toning that has taken place in the 2 weeks. User Hermione__Danger even asked for tips on how to get a butt like tetheredrose's.

Takeaway Lessons

The case of tetheredrose is a great reminder that progress is progress, no matter how small. Likewise, perseverance is key to achieve personal goals. More importantly, negative comments have the potential to be detrimental to the morale of the one that they are directed to. No matter how small or insignificant a progress may appear, keep grinding away and you'll find that with dedication, support and perseverance, anything can be achieved.
