Manage your weight to manage your life – part I
Weight management has become a very controversial discussion topic lately. Everyone is stressing to meet the unrealistic image that is being imposed on us from the media and peer pressure. Even if the stakes are too high, there is no option to opt out of the game.
People are defending the latest fad diet as if their life depended on it because they want to believe that this time, it will work for them. Our life has become an intellectual, theoretical outlook on what we think is true or what we have heard here or there.
Fortunately, or unfortunately for some, we have come to realize that this does not work. We know it deep inside, because it doesn’t feel right, however, we still want so badly to believe in something; so much so, that we surrender to a mediocre representation of who we are and who we could be.
When will people realize that their body is not about an image, but a precious gift that we keep on abusing?
