fear ...

I think fear and weight loss go hand and hand to some extend. I know personally I have a fear of gaining the weight I've lost back and not keeping it off (this has happened in the past and it happens to a lot of people!). That being said we can't live our life in fear or worry. If anything we should be fearful of an inactive lifestyle full of unhealthy eating .. because that in itself (put bluntly) can be a death sentence.

This post was inspired by the following quote that I came across today ..

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt

So get up today and look fear in the face. Tell yourself that you will not become another statistic (heart disease, high blood pressure, disabetes) that are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. Everybody deep down is scared of the challenges associated with changing your diet and exercise so have the courage to do it and make the change ... because the reality is .. you can!!
