Hi Liz,
Hang in there...this will make you stronger. You are young...and if you're on the protocol, you're doing the right thing. Sometimes the hardest things to do in life are listening to your own inner voice of knowing the right thing to do and going with that rather than what everyone else tells you.
This is particularly hard when the ones telling you to do something that you know will hurt you are your family members. This is a rite of passage...of growing up...and rather than defining failure, it is actually the polar opposite. Doing what you know you have to do for you in spite of opposition is the very definition of a courage, conviction, and a strong sense of self.
Those are qualities we all seek as we are growing as human beings, so instead of looking at yourself as a failure, you can celebrate because you are getting this lesson early and it will make you stronger. Keep doing what you're doing and you WILL triumph. You are young and this means the protocol will work better for you than ever. Keep up the good work!
I'll tell you something my dad told me when I was going through a very painful time in my life. He said, nothing gets people's attention more than success. So...your parents might not be believers now...but when they see you finally get through this healthy and vibrant and filled with energy, they'll be glad you did what you did. But even if they don't, it doesn't matter. YOU will be so glad you did! It's just hard right now for everyone in your family to see right now because you are in the middle of the battl
Enjoy!
Love,
