Why I do this

I started with MFP to lose weight and look better in the mirror, and to be able to perform better on the baseball diamond. But after 6 months or so of this site, there are a few realizations that I have come by that have (if not drastically) changed my life for the better. I thought I would share them with all of you, who knows, maybe it’ll help someone out.

1) Losing weight should be a by-product of this site, not the soul purpose.
2) Motivation is easier to come by when you set realistic goals.
3) Failure is temporary. Everyone fails, it’s how you recover and move forward that defines
you.
4) Willpower is a forgotten art in today’s society. Sometimes there is no substitute.
5) Fast food chains are the spawn of an evil so vile I can’t comprehend it!
6) How you feel is MUCH more important then how much weight you lost/gained.
7) Good/healthy eating habits is way more important than fitting into a size smaller pants
(I feel this is especially important to our younger members).
8) The human body is a miraculous thing, it will self correct as long as you give it the fuel and
exercise it needs to do so.
9) Jealousy is ugly, but it is a staple in society, learning how to deal with it in your own healthy
way is as important to your health as exercise and the food you eat.

this isn’t everything I’ve learned, just some of the mental things. But I have done a lot of contemplation lately and I like where my head is at.
