Why isn't it simple to lose weight? First of all, I for one, lack patience and like many Americans with addictive personalities, I like instant gratification. However, anything of sustainable value does not come with speedy rewards. It's hard. It's gritty. It's time consuming. Unlike most addictions, including food addictions, where gratification is instant, that which is diligently accomplished by the sweat of one's brow has no immediate result for good behavior. Therefore it is important that I outline MY own health plan and find ways to see and appreciate the real and authentic benefits of the albeit small but beneficial successes along the way. It takes time to lose weight and the more weight you want to lose the more time it takes. As much I may say the numbers on the scale do not control me, I must have other motivations. For example, I just weighed in this morning and I only lost one pound. To me, the scale is not tipping too far in my favor considering the amount I’m busting my butt. If I’m not going to get defeated, I need to find more than that one-pound to hang onto. Here it goes. I specifically feel stronger in my legs from working out 3-4 times per week. And for some reason, I seriously seem taller. I like that.
My pastor once said, "Sometimes the hardest things are the things that bring us the most freedom." My picture right now is Wonder Woman. Granted, she looks a bit manly here, but I remember watching her as kid and admiring her strength. You know what else I like, she’s not stick skinny. She’s got curves. What I’m doing is hard and emotional but I’m continuing to battle it out. I've got my eating plan in place, a good support system with friends and family, and an attitude of strength!
So to leave you...check out the lyrics to the Wonder Woman theme song!
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.
All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.
