NOT ALL PROBLEMS

Monday, 14 April 2008

Yes, weight-loss can solve some of your problems but...not all of them. A lot of people believe that when they lose weight and get in shape, all of their life's problems will just disappear. But oh, that's so not true.Yes, when you lose weight, it will make you healthier and may solve some of your medical problems. And when you lose weight, you'll breather better, you'll move better and you'll have more energy, too. Oh, there are so many wonderful benefits to weight-loss. I mean when you lost weight, didn't your body heal in many ways? So yes, weight-loss can help get you in tip-top shape.

But if you had a tooth missing before you lost weight, losing the weight did not grow you another tooth. If you're having a hard time paying your mortgage, you can't take your weight-loss good-news to the bank and think they'll accept it as your next payment. If your car has been running on a wing-and-a-prayer, weight-loss will not give your car a new engine. Many people write and tell me they've lost just a ton of weight. They tell me how they've been exercising through their entire weight-loss journey and have never looked or felt better in their lives. But they also tell me that they still have other problems. Now you know the only way to solve a problem is to examine that problem, then create a plan to make it go away. And that's what you must do to get a handle on the other problems in your life after you've lost weight.If your car is not working properly, budget your money better and see if you can't find a repair shop or a mechanic to fix it. Look for a shop that will make financial arrangements with you to pay for the repairs, if need be. If you're missing a tooth, go to your DDS and work out getting him or her to put in a new tooth for you. And if you can't pay your mortgage, go to the bank, have a talk with a mortgage officer and explain that you really need some help with your payment plan.

I believe all problems can be solved. I believe if you're eating healthy, exercising and keeping your body in good shape, then your brain works better! You'll be better able to figure out how to solve all of your problems. You know when you shake rattle and roll, your brain does it with you. And when your brain is healthy, it makes better decisions. Think about that today. If you have lost weight, I truly congratulate you. Hoo-ray for you! And now I hope you're working on any of those other problems in your life that have nothing to do with your weight. So get to work solving them!I believe in you!Love,
