Do You Deserve To Be Fit?
Do you deserve to be fit? When you read this question, maybe you suddenly get defensive.
"Well of course I do!" I want you to think about this question though.
Get out a pen and paper and come right back.
Got it? Now write down this question...
Do I deserve to be healthy and fit? Write down your immediate thought.
Yes or no? If yes, that's great and we'll get to that in a minute.
If the answer is no, I want to ask you a second question.
Why not? Maybe you're reading all of this and thinking "Megan, seriously what's the point"? The point is that if you don't believe you deserve to be fit, healthy and happy- you'll sabotage yourself every time.
You may have the very best workout program or regiment- the very best diet-but it won't matter.
Without even realizing it, you'll find a way to not make it work.
You need to find out if you identity is rooted in being that big guy or that mom who can't lose the baby weight.
Like many people I was always small growing up.
I ate whatever I wanted and didn't have to battle with weight until my adult years.
There was someone in my life however who told me more than once that I'd be fat someday.
Why does that matter? Because I believed them! Now don't get me wrong.
It is not this persons fault that I ballooned up to 50 pounds overweight after my 2nd child.
As a child I could eat whatever I wanted and still be tiny.
I did that into my adult years and it stopped working.
But it was a voice in my head that I heard constantly.
Of course I was overweight.
I had two kids and I was working a full time job- that's what happens when you grow up, right? It is amazing to me that you will find a way to fulfill what you believe to be true.
I believed being overweight was the cost associated with having children.
I love my children dearly and if I had to be overweight to have them in my life I'd do it a million times over.
But I don't! If you answered "yes".
You believe you deserve to live a healthy, fulfilling life.
Let me just say, that's fantastic! So are you? If you believe you deserve it, what's holding you back from it? See at the end of the day, you don't have to convince me that you deserve it.
I know you do! Not only do I know you deserve it, I know that your family deserves it.
I know that your spouse, parents, kids, heck- even boss deserves it.
Because when you start to become that healthy, fit, happy person- there is not one area of your life that won't be affected.
When you become a better you- you can change the lives of everyone around you.
