Be the Best YOU Can Be

I recently read an article stating magazines are using unrealistic pictures of women, yet describing them as healthy. The author was angry that we are constantly bombarded with images of woman who don't even really look like their own pictures. Most of them are Photo Shopped. You know what I say - "Who cares?"

First, most of these models, actresses and athletes are thin, or lean, for their job. They get paid for what they look like or how they perform. When I watch Olympic runners race, I don't get depressed, because I'm not that fast or not that lean - I'm not an Olypic runner! When I watch Oprah or Donald Trump, I don't look at my paycheck and get depressed. I am happy I get paid to do a job I love and that helps my family pay the bills.

Secondly, we can always change our lives, but we have to play with the hand we are dealt. I do not have rich or tall parents. Some others do. But I can make the best use of what they gave me and I can wear high heals!

The bottom line is, we all wake up in different circumstances and differnt bodies. You can decide to moan about how everyone else has it better and easier. Or you can take what you got, and be the best you can be!

When you walk into your Weight Watchers meeting and get on the scale, use that feed back to make the next week's plan of attack. Picture your body in the best shape ever and move towards that goal. It doesn't matter how fast you get there as long as you moving forward.

Don't look back.
