Why do we have to work so hard at things in life? We've been tricked by a nation of success, to be successful, you have to be good looking, and well, most of the time thin. Some sneak through like Queen Latifa or Oprah, but most of the time, female actresses all portray to be thin, even to the extreme, Calista Flockhart thin. But, what does this mean for us, the everyday, go lucky kind of person? It means that being thin is in...but it's also being helathy about it.
Losing weight is actually so you can feel great. So you can get rid of back problems, shed unwanted pounds, so you can play with your child(ren) at the park. It's so easy to throw in a reeese's peanut butter egg, but think about how much farther ahead you would be on your journey if you really did stop and think about your goal(s). But losing weight isn't just about being a parent and wanting to go down the slide (comfortably) at the park. It's not about finding the confidence that you will then find true love (last season & this season there have been couples who have met & fallen in love after weight loss on BL). It's not about being married and wanting to display yourself for your husband so all of his friends are envious (or vice versa for males showing off for thier wives).
Losing weight is about a healthier YOU! Sure, it may get you on a TV show or movie. Sure, it will help you with having fun and enjoying life. But, ultimately, it's about you setting goals and attaining them. Who's to say once the weight is gone that you don't start to inspire others (if you haven't already). Who's to say that once the weight is gone, you participate in a triathlon, spinning events, 5k, 10k, heck, half/full marathons! Losing weight also brings down your risk of heart disease (#1 killer of females), diabetes, and so many other bad things. So, what is this all about!?! It's about you taking control of your life now, for the future. Remember, this is a lifestyle, not a diet.
Have fun on this journey; go down a slide...see how it feels. Because by the end of summer, or even next summer, hopefully that slide will feel much different at your hips! You're doing great, keep up the good work, it will all be worth it, I promise!
