L.I.G - let it go
Carrying around excess weight can really wear you out, physically. If you’ve been up and down the scales before, you have a pair or two of fat pants. Sometimes we hang on to things just in case we need them again. Give up the fat pants. If you’re firm in your convictions to change your lifestyle you won’t need them ever again. Have faith that you are changing for the better and that the positive new changes will stick. Other things that we carry around also wear us out, mentally and emotionally. How many are holding on to old relationships, friendships, careers etc that no longer fit? These things can feel like a hundred pounds of excess baggage lugging behind you. If something or someone is draining your energy, sapping your strength and causing a general malaise, it’s time to consider making a change.
I’m no relationship or career counselor, and not telling you how to run your lives, just giving you another type of food for thought. Just as you want to be proactive in with your physical health, so you want to be with your mental and emotional well-being. As in the manner of the fat pants, have faith that you won’t need them anymore, and that the new pants/relationship/job, etc will be a better fit. Don’t hang on to anything that no longer serves your best interest, fat pants or anything else. L.I.G - let it go!!!!
