" We have met the enemy, and he is us." ~Pogo
"This quote from Pogo reflects the heart of the problem. When it comes to getting what you want in life, you are your own worst enemy. Sure, others can help sabotage your efforts, and they often will, but your own double-mindedness is what allows that to happen. You are the captain of your fate - thinking anything else is sheer delusion."
So...NO WHINING ALLOWED! As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way". We find time and a way to do the things we really want to do. So, enough with the "poor me" victim mentality. Don't blame anyone or anything else for the situation you are in right now. " You - and you alone - are responsible for your health and well-being. You determine your own fate."
The first order of business then, is to determine if you really want to make a change, and for whom are you making the change. If not for yourself, then any effort or progress will be short-lived. This has to be for you, not to please someone else.
Are you ready to take charge of your health by making life-style changes, replacing old harmful habits with new life-giving ones? Take it one day at a time, one step at a time. And remember, you are not alone.
