i will turn others' negative comments into Motivation!!!

I used to take everyone's negative comments to heart. Now I have decided that there is no reason I can't turn their negativity into something positive to me. Yesterday someone told me I was like mom at work. Ok..the person is 19 and I am 25. I started to feel down thinking that I must really look old with all this extra weight. I have decided to think of it as a motivator, the more weight i lose the younger I will look. Not a lot of people can say they are starting to look younger.
