"Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying
you can’t change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good.
Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you
don’t fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have
difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don’t fully accept the
situation, you will never really know if the situation should be
changed."
*Peter McWilliams {American Author}
It is all about facing the facts huh?! That is so hard to do, I mean really accepting situations sometimes. We can look in the mirror and see a fat puffy person :jawDrop: , we can see blood work results, we can feel awful, we can not wear clothes we wore last year, or heck last month for that matter, and yet we don't accept the situation.
Accepting reality sometimes bites hard but the pain is not as worse as going through life with blinders and having a heart attack or developing diabetes or whatever else could happen. Now those are a bit harded to accept.
Maybe we need a mantra that says, We fully accept the situation that we are in control of our bodies and our health and lets accept that it is us who needs to nuture and care for it the best way we can. Accepting the situation + taking the action steps = better healthy people. That we can do!
Have a great day everyone, take sometime to examine your quotient of accepting the fact you are ill or obese and take the actions necessary to get healthy again.
By the way October Challenge is Back to Bootcamp we are going to run an old fashion kick it in the keyster kind of challenge, hope you will join in--mroe coiming soon!
