I know I havent written a blog in a little while; I’ve been reallybusy…..well actually if I would take time out from my computer games I
have lots of time to write.
OK, so I don’t know what to write about today, I’m having a little writer’s block. But then again, I think of things to talk about every day that would be a help or provide a little encouragement or support. Since I’m having trouble remembering any of them right now, I could just say, “I’m too tired to think about it today so I will do it tomorrow”. If I really want to rationalize my way out of writing a post, I could do so by saying “writing a blog just isn’t part of my job description and I didn’t ask for it anyway!” But then I start thinking ”writing posts is something I really LOVE doing” and once my mind starts going it’s usually hard to reign it in.
Anyone out there see a pattern here?? Those are all excuses for not doing something I really WANT to do! People do it every day…..take
more time to figure out the reason they aren’t going to do something or spend more brain power trying to figure out how to get out of something
that they really want in the end. The point is…..YOU ARE NOT EVER GOING TO GET RESULTS WITHOUT SOME SORT OF EFFORT! It is imperative that for once in your crazy, busy, stressed out, complicated life you take time for YOU…..to learn how to do right by your band so it does right for you. If you don’t, then bottom line is that your busy, stressed out complicated life will be potentially shortened due to a controllable illness that you just couldn’t take the time out to prevent. Conditions directly related to obesity include but are not limited to Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Stroke, Sleep Apnea, Musculoskeletal disease ie: back fusions, knee replacements…etc.
There comes a time in your life when you have the opportunity to take charge and choose to turn things around. You already did that….you
had weight loss surgery. But having this doesn’t make you an instant genius. It takes work and education, trial and error. You may be on
your own in making the decision of what to choose to put in your body, but you are not on your own when it comes to learning what appropriate
choices are. And best of all…..its free!!!—-meet me at Wadley the second Monday of EVERY month at 7pm……Lori
