Weight Loss.
Yup, that's pretty much the New Year's Resolution that everyone sets on themselves.
And they usually fail measurably, only to turn around and reset that resolution for next year.
There are a few people out there who can actually accomplish this task, but most don't.
It's like a carousel of cellulite doom.
You get on the ride, AND YOU NEVER GET OFF!
This is one of the reasons why I think America is fat.
Because we have set this impossible expectation of beauty and attractiveness on ourselves and resolve to reach it. But, because it's impossible to reach, we ultimately fail.
I cant help but laugh at this amazing parallel this makes with our Christian walk!
"All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God."
#And the elderly readers close their eyes and say, 'Amen'.
I think that like being a Christan, our resolve shouldn't be to become "Perfect", but to become the best person we can be. To follow the wisdom of a healthy lifestyle and to steer clear of the foods that are just going to do horrible things to us.
IE: Soda, fried foods, breads, butter (Cough, cough, Paula Deen, cough), high fat content and manufactured foods.
If you stop killing yourself with a diet or eating fast food, get your "Ideal body weight" out of your mind, drop the "Thinspiration" and just live!
Eat right!
Exercise!
I promise that good works wont go unrewarded!
Love yourself and yourself will start to love you too!
