We did this..

Sometimes trying to figure out what to do in order to "feel better" "Get thinner" and have the "body" we want can be hard. Here is the hard cold reality.

We gain weight from eating too much of the wrong thing. Heck you can gain weight from eating too much of the right thing or not eating enough . Either way we got ourselves here.

Lack of motivation, lack of belief in ourselves is far more like it actually, I think we are all pretty motivated, is what has us searching out for the "quick fix" "Diet secret".

The truth is if we were aware and put ourselves and our bodies first, WE WOULD NOT HAVE A WEIGHT ISSUE! If we cared about us and what we were going to have to do to fix this we wouldn't have a weight issue.

IT is hard because everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there is a new diet, a "secret" a NEW way. A excuse for it to not be our faults. I am a well educated intelligent person and even I fell into the there has to be an easier way mentality.

But here is the truth, we did this to ourselves. No one forced us to eat those huge meals while at a restaurant it is not their fault. No body shovels the food in for us. We do, we did and we have to undo....

Eat well, work out, get excited at seeing the changes happening, one at a time. Small goals first.

"oh, I need new pants." "Oh, I did that work out." "Oh, my friend notices." One milestone at a time.

And for those of us who "fell" for the "easier" way. Those of us who fell off track...Pick yourself back up, brush off and head to the gym. You are now smarter, and better able to see between the lines.

Love your life, the one you are living right now. Love what you have done so far. Love the Journey because life is never about the destination. It is about the journey we take to get there.
