I don't fit in a box, so why do I try to?

Good Morning  World!

As we come upon a New Year, many of you will again make getting healthy a priority. I too will be in the same boat as many others but the difference is I am actually part of the 8% that stuck to their resolution from last year, I continued my existing health journey. Though I may not have lost the amount of weight I wanted, I still improved my health, even if just by adding another healthy habit. You see, many of us try to fit into a "one size, fits all" health train but the funny thing is that NONE of us truly fit in that box lol but we try so desperately to fit and feel like we have failed when we are not successful at the latest diet, workout program etc. How about we create our own vision of what success looks like and then we will always be successful measuring up to goals that fit us individually so perfectly?

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is success. Stop setting unrealistic goals for yourself and just get real with yourself, I too had to stop believing the hype, and create my own hype. I realize that I am tired of trying to fit into the "IN" crowd, and interesting enough, I haven't ever tried to fit in, not even in high school, college etc so not sure why I tried to now as an adult.

The moral of the story is we will never become someone else no matter how hard we try so why not be perfect at being yourself? I love working out, I love eating pizza, I love eating junk, I just have to love being responsible with my treats and cheats :-)

Happy Thursday
Holla!
