Quit Playing The Blame Game
Remember when we were 7 years old? At that age, any insult (no matter
how mean or despicable) could instantly be nullified by simply replying
"I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks
on you!"
Even though we're not seven years old anymore, insults still aren't any
fun. Many of us thought we'd outgrow name-calling and the 'blame game',
but here we are, fully grown adults, still playing those games.
We may not all be calling each other names, but many of us are still
playing the 'blame game'. We blame others for our weight gain. We blame
others for our failed diet. We blame others for our perceived failures.
But are others at fault?
Sometimes what we say to others 'bounces off them and sticks on us', to
paraphrase the old rhyme.
While we'll admit that genetics do play a huge role in our weight, it's
also true that each of us makes daily choices that impact the number on
the scale.
So who (or what?) are we blaming for our weight? Genetics? Fast food? A
busy lifestyle? Ice cream? Family? Work?
The bottom line is that while we may be able to legitimately blame
someone (or something) else for our current weight, we are all in
control of our future weight, and you can find free
weight loss help from many trusted sources on the
internet.
Each of us knows how we arrived at our current weight. Perhaps we've
always been heavy. Perhaps that weight crept on during the last few
years. Or, maybe, we were thin until we hit age....... and then the
pounds started piling on.
However we arrived at our current weight, the
fact is that we're here. We cannot change the past. But, we do have
control over the future.
No matter how hard we try, we can't change what we ate yesterday. In the
same way, we cannot go back in time and alter the amount of exercise we
got yesterday. The past is behind us.
But the good news is that the future hasn't happened yet. Each of us can
choose to eat better tomorrow. Each of us can choose to exercise
tomorrow.
For many Americans, a major reason why we're are not getting thinner is
our tendency to get 'stuck in the past'. Too many of us are wasting our
time trying to place the blame for our weight on someone else, rather
than planning to do something about it.
A perfect example are the lawsuits now pending against fast food
restaurants. Thousands of people in the United States have decided that
fast food restaurants are to blame for their weight. Are they right?
Maybe, but probably not.
This article isn't the place to judge whether
or not restaurants are to blame for the obesity epidemic in our nation.
Instead, the point we need to learn here is that if we want to get
results, we must
stop worrying about the past and start living for the future.
So, while some of us may have legitimate complaints about the past,
let's ask ourselves if that really matters. Life isn't fair. Some of us
are genetically inclined to be heavy, just as some of us are genetically
inclined to get cancer.
Either way, it's not fair. But rather than throw
up our hands in despair and give up all hope, let's take control of our
future!!
Remember that we cannot change our past but we all have some degree of
control over our future.
The moral of the story is to start today. Sure, maybe we've skipped a
few (or a few dozen) workouts . Sure, maybe we ate four servings of
cheesecake yesterday. We can't change the past, so let's focus on the
future.
The past may be full of bad diet exercise and fitness, skipped workouts and expanding
waistlines.....but the future is yet to come. Let's stop the blame, take
control of our future, and get busy. It's our choice.
