New Year New You … haha we have all said that, even if it wasn’t actually out loud! New Year’s resolution …” I am going to lose weight” … uh huh me too! Year after year, failing each time around February (maybe March on a good year). I can make up a million excuses why this resolution stays out of reach, but the truth is … it just isn’t that important to me. Wow that was a truth bomb – but hear me out.
Like you, I have set out to accomplish things that seemed impossible when I started but somehow fought my way through until the sweet VICTORY, because the bottom line is … it was important to me. I was wiling to give up whatever was necessary: sleep, friends, money, time, hobbies to name a few with little complaint (there may have been a little complaining and possibly a meltdown rocking and crying in the bathtub that one time). But health … losing weight … I have failed year after year. What I am really saying is … it has not been important to me. My health has not been important to me. Looking and feeling my best isn’t that important to me.
That’s harsh right? I am not talking about being and looking perfect. I have realistic body images about what I can and cannot look and feel like – my boobs are not going to be as fabulous as there where when I was 19 years old (without a trip to that hot surgeon in Irvine- he was the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in real life). That’s life but I certainly can look and feel better then I do right now.
I know what I need to do in order to accomplish this goal. I have to make changes and stop making excuses. I need to take on this challenge the same way I have taken on all the other great accomplishments I have in my life – ALL IN! All in being uncomfortable, all in dedicating the time, all in allocating the money needed, all in asking for help and finding support, all in saying no to things that do not serve this goal, all in believing that I am worthy and capable of this change, all in …. that I am deserving of good health, all in being afraid and doing it anyway.
So … I am ALL IN … are you?
