Knowing vrs Doing
I teach health and wellness as a career. By me choosing to be I’m this field, I also made a choice to be consistently kept under a constant microscope to be relentlessly scrutinized and Judged. I get it.
I realize many people have lost a lot of weight in their lifetime (which is AMAZING). I have noticed some people who have lost weight love to tell people the secrets to the “weightloss life” based off of their experience.
There is a difference difference between us: I went through the weightloss process to lose 125lbs and then took multiple classes, certifications, seminars, courses and educational series to understand the mechanics of the mind and body. I have spent thousands of dollars and years of my life researching as many facts and details of metabolic syndromes, weightloss, hormonal dispositions, thought processes, human emotional cycles and responses and such more to position myself to educate others with scientific facts.
So, the question on mamy people’s brains? If I understand and study so much information about health, wellness, movement, weight, and mental inputs during these years…WHY did I gain 33lbs over the last year!? WHY didn’t I use all of this information to keep myself on the straightened path?
The answer is simple. Knowing and doing are 2 different things. I wasn’t consistent. I got too comfortable. I have an even clearer answer. Because I am human.
I woke up one morning after one of the most stressful years of my life and realized I had gotten fatter. My face, my back, my stomach…all fatter. I got on the scale, which I had avoided for months. The scale confirmed I was indeed fatter.
Great part about life- everyday is a nrw day filled with opportunity to make different choices. I made a decision after weighing myself and facing the realities of my weight gain to do something about it. I immediately began choosing differently.
An impromptu picture was taken of me when I was doing crafts with my youngest daughter, and I liked what I saw. I see a woman making better choices so she can enjoy her life fully. 😉
