Do you have a plan? Are you willing to make a promise to your body?
Looking back at the last ten years I have been carrying around an extra 50 or 60 pounds holding pretty steady at 175 to 190. I was thinking that if I had just lost and kept off five pounds per year I would be at a pretty decent place today.
To add to that, if I had been exercising and strength training and eating clean… there is no telling what the results would look like. Time zooms by so fast in the complicated and busy realities that we create for ourselves and we indulge in things like laying in a recliner and watching reruns on television while snacking on Twinkies or corn chips in a total state of unconscious.
We procrastinate. We indulge. We get lazy. We joke about our love handles. And we whine and complain and want to be accepted for “who we are” and not judged by others who discriminated against us because we are fat, lazy or overweight.
Well who were we then? We were people who took our life for granted and disrespected the amazing body we live in. We were people who don’t use the power of our will to turn off the television and put down the Twinkies and go for a walk in the fresh air. We were victims of our own ignorance of what to eat and how to stay in shape. We tried and failed. We gave up.
And we want people to respect us for that?
My future life depends on the decisions I make today. I made a commitment, that no matter how long it takes, I am going to treat my beautiful perfect body with the respect it deserves.
Just five measly pounds per year was all it would have taken. Ten years spent trashing my body. I am ashamed.
So now I ask my body for forgiveness. Now I promise that I will treat you with respect and give you the nourishment and exercise you need. You have served me so well, all of my life. I have taken that for granted. I now promise to serve, pamper and nourish you. You are the temple where my heart and soul resides. I am grateful for you. You are a marvel!
I love my body so now I am going to reshape it. Here is the plan:
