i am currently carrying 50 pounds of extra weight on my body (maybe 50x2).
you and i can see that easily in this photo taken just a few months ago.
but why? carrying this much extra weight can't possibly serve me in any way. can it? current studies show that the social stigma that is attached to overweight is incredibly negative. fat people are often considered to be lazy, sloppy and out of control. but the issue is more complex than first meets the eye. no one wants to be fat. but so many are!
most people of my size and age have been battling their weight for their entire lives. there are no easy answers. if there were, everyone would be thin and seemingly fabulous.
my prediction is that my "body weight" issues are inextricably associated with "spirit weight" and "mind weight" and therefore to achieve balance in one area, one needs to achieve balance in all three.
i recently saw an excellent film that introduces some of these concepts called, The Gift of Diabetes. if you are interested in making positive changes in your life and find your true passion, take the time to watch this film.
