December 30th,2011 Many people have said to me that I’m very determined in my weight loss and they don’t think they have the same determination. In actual fact I’m not normally a determined person. There are many things in my life that could have turned out better if only I had been more determined.
I could have worked harder at college and at a better job career but I didn’t. I also threw caution to the wind during all those years that I lead the most unhealthy of lifestyles which saw me piling on the pounds and heading towards bad news. Where was this determination then and why is it here now?
There is only one thing I can think of and that is ‘I wanted it badly enough’. For months I was obsessed with the thought of losing weight. It was all I could think of and it was all I wanted to talk about. Luckily for me at that time I did have someone to share that obsession with.
Although I had other obligations,weight loss was foremost in my mind and I don’t think it would have worked for me any other way. It carried me through my terrible food addiction,my dislike for exercise and my health problems which were severe to an extent.
Today the determination is still there but minus the mad obsession as I’m slowly embracing this change in lifestyle. When people tell me they want to lose weight,I yearn to see that same obsession in them and get disappointed when I don’t,although I know it’s not fair to judge in that way as everybody is different.
