Changes: What have you done for your body today?

Many times we would read blogs, articles, or get involve in forums because we are seeking answers. However, we found out that sometimes the answers given is not what we were seeking or in some cases there are no answers and we left feeling depress. Whatever the case, we find out that whatever we are going through is not an easy fix. Consequently, many of us ignore our situations for different reasons:

• Ignoring it makes us feel as if it does not exist. We call the pain and whatever we are going through normal
• We think by ignoring it, it would eventually disappear.
• We cannot be bothered with the dieting and exercises
• We just want to be normal, eating whatever we please. Why can't we just be normal?
• The more information we get the more depress we become and we just hate that feeling
• What is the sense of doing all these things if there is no cure

I know what you are going through having gone through it myself. But here are the facts:

• Ignoring the problem does not create change
• Changing our lifestyles not only makes it easier for us to cope, but may prevent future sufferings (for example finding out you cannot have children because you stay too long to deal with the situation)
• It is easier to change our lifestyles now than before giving the many substitutes that are out there. We can cook up a tasty healthy meal without feeling like we are missing something.
• Research would show that people should be eating more like us, healthy, than themselves as many of the food that they are eating are not good for them anyway. 
• Finding out all we can helps us to prepare and cope much better.

So I ask you, what have you done for your body today? What changes are you working on ? You don't have to always get it right, but you must keep trying and I can attest to this. Let us make a vow to ourselves. Slowly but surely we are going to create little changes until we get it right. Today, my target is 8 glasses of water. What are you doing for your body today?
