Love Thyself
Many people think health comes along when you have another "half" another "soul" to be by your side. Some say "love" will make you lose weight, be healthy. There is some truth to it, but I think that is somewhat oversimplified. You do not need to have "someone" to get healthy. The only reason you should get healthy and lose weight is because you dearly want to yourself. Because you love yourself and you think that you are worthy of the attention. Once you have found that love for yourself, then love for another comes more easily.
Health is a great cure for the soul. It rejunevates, energizes and gives you strength you previously didn't know you had. You can somehow run those few kilometers and walk up flights of stairs without feeling tired. Walks that were once unappealing, now seem like a little walk in the garden. The hot weather becomes less annoying, and the chair more comfortable. Yes, even just sitting on chairs becomes a more enjoyable experience. One can now twist and turn around in the chair without feeling restricted by its side. (If you've been stranded in a small chair, you'd know how uncomfortable it can be) It feels great to not have to worry nor be tired out by little daily tasks.
Shopping becomes a whole new experience. Now the question is not whether A or B will fit me, but whether A or B will look better on me? The choice is limitless. I no longer have to settle for the shirt that fits, over the style I'd rather be wearing. It's a wonderful feeling. A new found happiness.
To enjoy all these benefits I think are a few of the gifts of good health. You don't need any other "incentive" other than a love for yourself. If you lost weight only when you were in love, and only for other people, does this mean that the rest of the time you will regain that weight and forever remain chubby ? It's a vicious cycle. If even you do not love yourself, who then would love you? Since no one loves you, then you'd eat and gain weight?
So love yourself, love the wonderful person you are and take care of your health. Have a good health everyone! Who knows what could happen then? Lightning could strike.
