Just a new thought

I was discussing my weight loss battle with a coworker and she made an interesting point.
Her argument was that, what would I do if I was in an abusive relationship? Would I let it go on or would I stop it. This made me realize that gaining weight is really abusing myself, no one else. I already knew that I need to make a change but this really put things in perspective. Just thought I would share this with you all.

Wow, that does put it into perspective.

I had a similar conversation with one of my girlfriends, and I was telling her that I was so unhappy in my marriage, I think I was slowly killing myself. When the words came out of my mouth, I started crying. And recommitted to getting healthy again.

Thanks for the post.

A lot of abused women don't leave until they are sure they are going to die if they stay or leave...so they finally break away.


I think we do this to ourselves as well.

Thank you for sharing.. that went right into my notebook. I will need that comment when I'm feeling down and in a quitting mood.
