Observation

Today, I am sitting in the Louisville International Airport standing by for flights home. While sitting here with time on my hands, having shopped every shop and checked out everything of interest, I am observing people.

My thoughts generated by this observation are in the direction of understanding for the challenges faced by so many people while struggling not only with their weight and health, but in who they truly are inside.

We so often define ourselves by what we see in the mirror. I do know this, as I too let the reflection identify who I was and maybe even today, still do to a degree. When we are overweight and unhealthy, we are invisible to the world. We do not want to be noticed or observed in anyway. We walk through an airport on a mission of just getting to our destination without being seen. We only hope that no one will look at us and think "that poor woman". I can remember hoping no one would know how young I truly was because my appearance did not match who I was inside. I did not like myself and I did not want anyone to know how miserable I was inside.

Life is too short to live in misery. ANYONE, yes anyone can take control of their life. Anyone who CHOOSES to be who they truly want to be can do so. All it takes is the commitment to yourself.

I know that I make it sound easy but from experience, the hardest thing is the decision, along with the commitment to yourself. We all deserve to be happy, energetic and live life to the fullest. We do not deserve to live in misery about our appearance, our weight, or our health. We deserve the best life has to offer. It is a God given right to create our lives and live it to the fullest.

In my observation today, I am tremendously moved to tell everyone who is where I once was...

"Just Do It"

Take life by the horns, grab all that you deserve, grab all that you want. Be unstoppable. Be who you want to be, be who you truly are. Get up and move, get up and get healthy. No one and I really mean NO ONE is going to do it for you. You must do it for yourself.

When you are past this point in life and you look back to see who you once were, you will be proud of yourself, you will feel empowered and know YOU CAN DO ANYTHING you want to do. But it takes:

1) Decision
2) Commitment
3) Action
4) Belief

Just do it!

To your unstoppable success...
