Putting off Life Until You've Lost Some Weight
by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP
I can't do that Until I Lose This Weight!
If you don't enjoy the life you've got because you think you
don't look good in shorts or you can't bring yourself to wear a
bathing suit, you're doing nothing more than wasting your life
for nothing. Maybe you don't look like a bathing beauty but who
does? I've heard so many people tell me that they would give
anything to be at a weight they once were, but when questioned
they almost always say, "Now that I think about it, I thought I
was fat back then too," but guess what? They weren't. Those same
people are sometimes shocked to see photos of themselves as a
teenager or young adult; "Why I wasn't fat at all," they'll say.
Where do these fears originate except within our minds, and that
makes me wonder - is this another way of the brain to try to keep
us from taking the steps necessary to affect change? Remember,
your brain will do what it can to keep things the way they are,
at least at first, so crazy notions about the future may be
clouding your judgment.
It's unlikely you'll hear someone on their death bed say, "If
only I'd spent more hours at the job," but more likely they'll
say, "I wish I'd spent more time with my family." Go ahead and
spend that time now, doing what you love, being with people you
enjoy. If you like being outdoors, be outdoors. Do you love the
water but you haven't been in a pool for 20 years because you
think you look awful in a swimming suit? Who cares? Go swimming,
today, tomorrow, or next week. Just go.
It's Not Always About Us
