Are you overweight? Have you tried to lose the weight before but were not able to make it happen? Did you start out strong on your diet but then fail? I see this struggle every day. For a long time, I've believed health is a matter of willpower, but I have recently started thinking that willpower is a secondary element in the process. Willpower is crucial, but it is not enough.
The bottom line in motivation is this: do you love yourself enough to live your best life?
Eating well is a choice. Going to the gym or taking a daily walk is a choice. Both of these are important to your health. However, the first choice must be that you believe in yourself enough to be the best person you can be, and that means being healthy. You must choose your best life.
Once you make that choice -- once you can say to yourself that you are committed to loving your body as much as you love your children or your partner or any other significant person in your life -- you will find the willpower to refuse the fried foods, the ice cream, the baked goods, and the willpower to exercise several days a week.
It's your choice. Are you worth it?
