Diets and more diets! Although diet and exercise feature highly on every overweight person’s list, I feel that a closer look at some equally important fundamentals would serve the overweight person better in the long run.
1. Do you have the time?
2. Do you have the drive the motivation?
3. Is your goal cosmetically driven or is it medically based?
4. Do you have a network of like-minded people pursuing the same goal?
5. Do you have enough energy or is the lack of it putting you off?
6. Last but certainly not least; do you love yourself enough to make the change happen?
Yes, we all know that diet and exercise are important, we get told this each and everyday, we see it written in magazines, and we see it advertised on T.V. But without the collectiveness of the six points I’ve presented above, sustainability and consistency of purpose would sooner or later surely wane, possibly sooner than later.
By no means is the above list a complete list of fundamentals and you may need to sit down and write your own and put it out there in front of you to see. The fundamentals list is like a chain, and it’s as strong as its weakest link. Eliminate the weak link and you’ve got yourself a mighty strong chain to face any battle that may come your way.
Failing to recognise the importance of the above statement, would see you asking that most famous of all questions, the “why” question. Why am I not losing; why do I feel tired, why am I different than all the rest… and on it goes.
I say it’s time for some reflection.
