OK here we go again. What did I do? I have come to the conclusion that it's not my fault. If it's not my fault then I'm not responsible and if I'm not responsible then there is nothing I can do about it. If there is nothing I can do about it then I should just sit back and do nothing. Oh good nothing, I can do that. Nothing is good and easy. OK, I will live my life doing nothing. This makes the whole eating thing easy. I don't think I just eat.
Wait I have just talked myself into the thinking that I have nothing to say about my life and that I have no say in anything, I am an amoeba. I did look up amoeba and the internet does say an amoeba is more than just a blob. For us it is not. It just hangs out and waits to be eaten which would be end of life.
This isn't going well, I better think of this in a different way. I am tired of being deprived. I am missing out. My friends eat fast food and look kind of OK. They don't spend their time working out. They eat deserts and other things like that noodle salad thing, french fries and pizza. I am depriving myself and it's not fair. I need to start living my life like a normal person.
What do the experts say? 5% maintain a weight loss. I would have to look that up.
The other day I ran into a 5% person. She looks great, she is happy and enjoying life. She is out doing things. The fresh air, the world around her and life as a whole. I am missing out. Wait, somethings wrong, how can I be missing out on both sides of the coin.
Let me see, if I tell myself I am missing out I believe it. I have to decide and define missing out. OK to me I am starting to think of where I am getting my information from. First people that don't work out tell me I am missing out on life and going out for heavy foods and drinks. Along with that also comes saying it is ok to have that extra roll.
On the other hand If I define missing out as having a flat stomach and playing on the beach knowing I look pretty good then I am missing out.
This brigs us to now. What are you missing out on. There are somethings in life that ca be fulfilled now which the mcdonalds generation likes and there other things that take a lot of work. Everyday you have to work on it and then one day you cross the finish line with your arms held high and you say I did it.
Lets think of this in the terms of a plant. You plant a seed and have to take care of it. The seed is not a marathon runner but in time things will grow. So you plant and tend to the seed as you do your health. One day your plats will thrive and bring you fruits and pleasures as with the work you have put into your health. If you stop watering your plant what happens? You might be able to go get a new seed but can you get a new body? Maybe your plant gets big but doesn't produce any flowers or fruit. What is wrong? Have you been tending 100% or at least 95% to your plant or goal?
Now back to goals. Do you want to be a 5% or the well tended to thriving plant or do you want to be the plant that has to be reseeded. Maybe you can add a form of supplement to help hurry things along. Just because a tomato is big, red and whatever. Does this make it the best tomato? What happens when you cook the really big tomatoes into sauce and find out the tomato was all just water. Did those supplements really get you what you want. Lets give our tomatoes some great nutrition and some exercise (wind). They will grow strong and tall and produce great rewards.
I want to be in the 5%
I need a sign that says 5%. All I will have to look at it and remember what my goal really is.
