3. Counting calories doesn’t help you count your blessings.
We’re all guilty of it. So just leave your
Weight Watcher trackers at the door of the previous page you visited. For the
few brief minutes you’ve invited me into your home or office or closet to hide
from Aunt Betty and her ugly sweater party, let your self-doubts go.
Now, I’m not going to turn into a Special K
commercial on you and tell you that your jean size is now “Fabulous” or
anything. But I want you to take a second and think about how beating yourself
up over a wrinkle here or a roll there helps you to enjoy the people in your
life and the purpose you strive to fulfill. If you delete that pesky little app
from your phone and the voice inside you that prevents you from fully enjoying
that Krispy Kreme, you’ll see that it doesn’t help you at all.
And isn’t that an essential part of our
lives? Counting our blessings? Without these blessings, we would struggle for
motivation. I would bet some Ramen noodles (hey, I’m a college student) that
your fitness tracker will never motivate you quite like the blessings in your
life can.
Shift your focus from the numbers to the
faces, the calories to the people and the hate to the love. Then, take a deep
breath… and take a bite.
it’s an outlet. it’s an inspiration. it’s a gift. it’s a purpose
