Will Weight Loss Make You Happy?
My awesome wife, Beth, like’s to care for flowers. As result, we have 7 kinds of various plants inside of the house. The one that I think is the most unique is one that only blooms when it is under stress and deprived of water.
We actually have two of these plants, see the photo below. The one that is under stress is blooming awesomely, but the one that is “healthy” just looks mundane.
This made me think about humanity.
How many of us look like we have it all together? On the outside we are kicking butt and taking names. But on the inside…we are slowing dying without a purpose or direction?
I know in the fitness world this is an epidemic. Some of the most “in shape” people I know also have the most insecurities. To the world it looks like they have it all, but on the inside they are stressed and anxious to the max. They are so concerned with what others think of them they can’t enjoy life.
Don’t let this become you and do not buy into this lie!
You were wonderfully and fearfully made! You have worth regardless of your shape or size. Do not be like this plant that allows situations to dictate what it looks like and how it “feels.” Do not let your shape or size control you.
Instead, be proud of who are and make choices in regards to your eating and training that reflect the “true” you.
Go be awesome!
