We are a society that cares about our weight. It is a big deal to us whether our weight is too high or too low. I have been on both ends of the spectrum and did not like either extreme. So how do we deal with it? How do we get past our own thoughts, the
No, we do not hide out.
No, we do not blame ourselves.
No, we do not blame others.
No, we do not accept it and give up.
No, we do not beat ourselves up about it.
Yes, we do keep living life and being around others, to the best of our ability.
Yes, we do take responsibility for anything that we can do.
Yes, we do take responsibility for our own lives and health instead of expecting others to be in charge.
Yes, we keep on trying to find solutions to the health issues (which levels out our weight without extra effort!!!)
