So will I ever be on team fit? Will I ever be the size I want to be? Will I ever be able to look in the mirror again and love what's looking back at me? I'm sure I will. But guess what I'll never be able to be apart of team fit until I join Team Within.
Team Within requires me to love what's inside of me before I'm able to love the outside of me. I have to work on my self-esteem, self-worth and self-love. Now you may be thinking, "is she crazy ? If she'd lose weight she'd love herself that much more". My response to that is, if I lose weight and don't work on the inside of me, I'll end up gaining the weight right back. I'll end of trying to fill a void that I never fixed.
I know people that've lost weight and look the best that have in years but the work stopped at the physical. The surprising thing is they weren't like this before they lost the weight. They did so much work on the outside they neglected the inside. I want to make sure that what's on the inside of me is the first thing people notice. That they look beyond the package and treasure the gift inside. I think Lauren Hill said it best " how you gonna win, if you ain't right within".
Now that's food for thought.
Great post! many people, especially women, don't realize that being fit is more than just the outer physical but it's also a mindset and a lifestyle... I also agree that being happy with who you are within is most important, however, being physically fit is important to especially if we want to be around for a long time to see our children grow and experience life! Lol, I love food too, but everything is best in moderation :-)
ReplyDeleteWorking on both (as I eat this last cookie). Lol jk jk No. I'm trying to get it together. But I do feed my emotions with food. About to exchange with books
DeleteHow you gonna win if you ain't right within?! True words we try hard to fit in~skinny jeans, cliques. Why can't we be happy with our plus size~being free and dare to be YOU. Life is good,short and precious~we pass through once....love yourself,accept what you can just DO IT. Now, pass the Mac n cheese, turkey leg and another hunk of 'tater pie. That thang is Life, love and happiness within
