Really want to change?
People often have misguided perceptions about what we should look like in order to fit in with what society calls ‘an acceptable image’. The media talks so much about faddy diets and the latest exercise craze, what’s good for you (expensive ‘health’ food), what’s bad for you (everything that tastes lovely). We are permanently being made to feel that we simply don’t have the right ‘look’ and this often results in someone like myself receiving enquiries from people that actually don’t need to improve the look their bodies at all. At least not for aesthetic purposes.
Julia Roberts once said she’s been hungry her entire adult life (in order to maintain her figure). This is neither healthy, fun or particularly sane and certainly not practical for us lesser mortals. In addition to it being generally depressing to see women with arms the size of matchsticks, most of the media hype is neither accurate nor appropriate for us average Joe’s who hold down full time jobs, co-ordinate families and partners, maintain a home and seek to spend time with friends at some point duing our hectic weekly schedule. The celebs we all see flogging their latest fitness videos are often lucky enough to be able to receive personal training at least 5 times a week (I would also love this!!) however, this is simply not realistic or affordable to most, nor an easy regime to maintain in the longer term.
Sooooo, what’s the answer? Well, take a good hard look at what you really need to change about yourself…and perhaps start to see what is actually pretty OK as it is too. Think your bum’s too big? I bet your partner doesn’t think so. Waist measurement above 32 inches? Well maybe it would be good to lose a few pounds for your health…
Then when you’ve figured out seriously what you want to improve upon, make the commitment and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW. Make the commitment today, go on!! Read my article ’Find your inner Miss Fit’ for more tips about getting started….
