Fat Loss is hard!

I keep saying to myself "fat loss is so hard!" there are those of you reading this that understand all that comes from being overweight.  The mental, emotional and physical pain from it.  Then there is the side that you reach when you have taken the fat off and still are not where you want to be.  That can be hard and painful as well.  That is when you have to look at the big picture.  Let me show you it.....
   
     Laying in bed this morning I was thinking about these next 4 weeks and how I am going to attack it and reach the ultimate goal.   Then my mind wandered to other people in my life.  People that are living with a terminal disease, people that are laying in a hospital bed in a coma, people that are aging and struggling with the lack of physical and mental control.  Suddenly my fat loss didn't seem so hard.  I mean really, I have a really high functioning body, mind and spirit.  I have a purpose and a dream.  I have a map of EXACTLY how to lose weight. And I have God that allows me to believe that anything is possible.   Weight loss is NOT hard...........Life can be hard.  And for those of you that are going through your own personal struggle, I commend you for staying positive, for having that spirit of life that encourages others to keep going especially for encouraging me.........you know who you are.

     Those of you that are in this 50 day challenge, or in your own challenge to lose fat..... Fat loss is not hard, see it for what it is: an exciting journey to better health and a better life, one that WILL impact others on multiple levels.

Stay strong, stay committed and most importantly.........

stay positive. 

   
Have an amazing day!
