Today’s post was inspired by one of my (Facebook) Team Meltdown Members Cherylann Thomas, who told me that she was “afraid to fail at her diet.”
The topic I want to write about today is fear. There are a lot of folks out there like me, afraid to fail at weight loss.
I am not an expert on the subject of weight loss since I am still a work in progress. I have an advanced degree in LIVING WITH OBESITY, so I guess I am just about as knowledgeable on this topic as any college professor.
I just want to point out that life is full of disappointments and letdowns. If you want something bad enough then put in the work and it will eventually happen.
Everyday that I am on this diet it is a battle for me. I sometimes make mistakes and fall off track.
Then I realize what I have done and get back into the swing of things immediately. In the past I was subconsciously giving up just because it was easier to do when I made a mistake.
I found that I would regrettably quit my diet if I messed up because it was the easy way out.
Was I punishing myself or rewarding my unhealthy eating habits? Was this another excuse to eat more bad stuff? I know you already have the answer to that question. This was the moment I realized that I just wanted another excuse to overeat and act like I didn’t know I was killing myself.
You have to be accountable and take ownership to be effective at losing weight. I want you to think about your life now. Are you doing everything you can to work on your diet and weight loss?
Are you making excuses so that you can avoid the reality of working on your health? Are you worth the hard work and pain it takes to lose weight and change your physical life for the better?
I feel that I am, and this is why I am Mr. Meltdown because I will eventually lose the amount of weight needed for me to be healthy. I just hope that anyone going through the same struggle is trying just as hard to do the right thing.
THE QUESTION THAT I LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY IS.
ARE YOU WORTH THE EFFORT?
I KNOW I AM AND WILL NEVER GIVE UP THE STRUGGLE!
