How do you feel when you start a weight loss plan?<\/p>\n
I always felt angry.\u00a0 I would think about the people who were not satisfied with me as I was and, yes, I resented them!\u00a0 It just wasn\u2019t fair that I be deprived because other people had unrealistic expectations for me.\u00a0 I\u2019m more than my body aren\u2019t I?\u00a0 Shouldn\u2019t people love me as I am?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m guessing that\u2019s pretty typical thinking — and I was happy when realized that I could abandon that anger.\u00a0 You can break out of the anger thought-patterns, too,\u00a0 because now you are not depriving yourself.\u00a0 You are being good to you!\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to lose weight to make someone else happy.\u00a0 You are\u00a0 eating right so you can feel great and do the things that are important to you.<\/p>\n
And you are not doing silly things on a short term basis to get some quick results. You are doing smart things and getting your body to work with you to give you benefits for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n
Your body looks just fine.\u00a0 You just want to make it last as long as you live.\u00a0 So don\u2019t be mad and don\u2019t feel deprived.\u00a0 Your smart eating plan is not a penance, but a gift to yourself, and a way of glorifying God!<\/p>\n
