ReplyDeleteGreat truths! I'm slowly learning on this journey and will follow thru to the best conclusion for me.
ReplyDeleteWisdom and compassion. Lovely. Now if you could substitute the word weight....Why is it so easy to keep getting stuck on a number when we know fitness trumps weight every time.
ReplyDeleteWe need more emphasis on a healthy metabolism. The process is what counts: What you eat, how much you move, how you live. When those elements are in place, weight often takes care of itself.
Love this one: "Your best weight is whatever weight you reach, when you're living the healthiest life you actually enjoy." Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove em all. started tweeting.
ReplyDeleteOn number 3 ("If you don't like the life you're living, you're not going to keep living that way")...I so wish this were more true for everybody. There seem to be a lot of unhappy people stuck in a rut, who can't seem to find the strength to change, and it's tragic!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted "Your best weight is whatever weight you reach, when you're living the healthiest life you actually enjoy." And, my friends on twitter and face book went crazy with this. A viral happening. (Of course so many of my friends I met working out and we have lost weight together. Hundreds of pounds have been lost in last year, so things like this hit home fast. I had a feeling this would be the one that would grab them. But, then I saw a friend facebook the whole list this morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteRe: Kim Foster's comment: I think if the quote read, "If you don't like the life you're living to maintain your weight (loss), you're not going to keep living that way" it would be more accuate (yet less succinct).
