The constant grind of being in shape or getting into shape may be off-putting for you but you’re missing the point.
If you WERE in shape and most of you can remember a time in your life you actually were, then it wouldn’t be a grind AT ALL.
When you’re in shape, you want to improve and definitely preserve what you have.
When you are overweight, it makes most people unhappy because they secretly know they can do better with their bodies, but sometimes will find company with like minded people who often hilariously say “one life you have, eat and drink what you want”!!!!!
They say misery loves company and that’s true!
We do only have “one life” but the best way to maximise a better life and higher quality of life is to be lean and energetic surely.
When you are overweight, you move around slower and you have less energy, and usually, not always, but usually your ambitions are set a little lower.
I have seen huge transformations in people and their mental state always goes from often despair to an overwhelming urge to live life in a way they have never experienced before.
How many people have you seen who were heavily overweight, then lost the weight, look great and much leaner, and then suddenly look and feel much more attractive? That makes for a happier life.
How many people have you seen who have to lose 3 stone for an operation, then realise how much better they feel and go on to lose another 2 stone? I know a few and they are thrilled with their new life!!!
How many people do you know who were afraid to play sports because they were overweight in schools, yet go on to become very impressive athletes? I know lots!!!!!
These are the facts and I have many examples to prove it. Im not saying for one minute that these people are somehow better than anyone else, neither do they pretend to be!!
What I am saying though is that now they ARE living a better life in their eyes BECAUSE they have changed their body and maximised the health benefits!!!!
There is nothing more exciting.
So back to that tired old saying “only one life you have”?
Make your choice on what quality of life you want to live and realise that if you exercise and eat well, you will get there every time as long as you commit to a healthy lifestyle that will always bring results.
