Make it happen, whatever it takes!!!

If our biggest problem or source of pain in life right now is that we are overweight, we are truly blessed. Not much in life can be controlled but this is 100% dependent on our actions alone. We have the choice to stay overweight or to lose the weight and get healthy. These choices are broken down to individual decisions throughout the day that point us down one path or the other. Dont give your power away by blaming Tom, your schedule, or an event that you cant avoid. It will NEVER be convenient to live this lifestyle! Stop waiting for the stars to align perfectly and for that free time that you KNOW is not going to come! Make it happen, whatever it takes!!! Stop fooling around and take this seriously this is our health we are talking about! Is there really anything more important?

SN: I have noticed that people like to argue for the sake of arguing on these forums lol so I will pre-address one that I know is coming. I know that people have medical issues that they are working around, including me. But I would feel comfortable saying that whatever the issue, I can guarantee that you are not the only one with it and that others have managed to fight and win this weight battle despite it! Also I know what a hectic schedule is ...I am a single mom, I work full time and I go to school full time, but no matter how busy you are you cannot honestly say you have no time to devote to this. If you just spent 10mins on MFP then there is 10mins you could have worked out...It may not be the time you want to devote but just do what you can!

This post is not a judgement, but a reminder to myself and to others that we are not powerless in this fight

Nice post, I agree, what is more important than your health, if there is no you! than how can you take care of your kids, husband, house, whatever the case may be! so I agree!:)

If we can tackle this, every other area of our life will improve. We will be better parents, friends, employees, etc. and the quality of our life will be that much greater.

thanks for putting things into perspective. You are so absolutly right, there are more trying issues in the world than the extra flubber we carry on our bodies.
Also, even though I know in the end it is utlimatley me who makes the decision...I appreciate the reminder. Can't blame others for us having to make the bad choices...Sh-t or get off the pot as they say! lol
