Acceptance

GoodyUK84

Hello MFP friends.
As I hop back onto my fitness goals and lifelong journey of change, I constantly think about my past, present and future. I realize that when I am most dedicated to my commitment to be happier and healthier is when I write about it. A BIG topic that often comes up with happy and healthy is acceptance. So, I want to write about this in what I hope to be a series of online articles somewhere. A place of inspiration for others. I often find strength in what others say about their journeys and I want to give back as I make the same journey.

My question for you:
What can you say about acceptance?
Is it tied into your success with weight loss? Does it bring about a notion of negativity when you think about it? Do we focus on acceptance too much before accepting ourselves? What does the word mean to you?

As a community of people striving for common goals, it will be interesting to read the differences in what the word means to us.

Have a fabulous day and drink that h20!!!

If I accepted my weight, I'd still be Obese Class II. No, thanks.

Accepting yourself doesn't mean accepting what you've done to your body.

I think self acceptance is useful but not always necessary to achieve goals.

I choose to accept myself no matter what. I'm embarking on this fun journey with myself to be thinner. It's my new hobby. I evaluate each day and work toward making better and better choices. Others accepting me? The devil may care what others think about my looks. That's their own issues.

Happiness comes from accepting your circumstances, not from accepting how you handle those circumstances. Our circumstances are often force upon us, but we can always improve how we react.
