Peel Back the Onion Until the Scarred Outer Layer Has Been Removed.

Sorry if reading the title starts to make your eyes well up with tears just as you were chopping up onions. However the initial discomfort involved in what I am going to try and get through to you will be worth it, as the end result will take you far and beyond where you are at right now. I hope!!!

Although lifestyle is multi layered, just like an onion. Too much emphasis is placed on the physical aspect and not enough is placed on getting your thinking in order. There is no doubt exercise, great nutrition and a good flexibility routine will get you into good physical shape but you will not maintain this long term if you haven't addressed why you want to get into shape. Pretty deep huh. Stick with me I'll try to expand on what I have just said.

Think of yourself in great physical shape scantily clad and feel what state emotionally you are in. Some say it makes them feel like they will be respected and important as they will not be viewed as fat anymore. Some say they feel overjoyed because they feel they will be accepted into society easier or becuase the opposite sex will find them more attractive. These are all perfectly normal responses and you aren't right or wrong if you feel this way; it is the way you are. However in a majority of cases peeling back the layers of mental conditioning (skin and scarred outer part of the onion) will reveal a lack of self esteem and self belief. Once you have altered the way in which you view yourself in your mind, long term lifestyle adherance (Lifesperity planning) will very rarely be an issue. Alter your mind positively and see how the dirty, smelly, tear causing onion turns into a wonderfully aromatic filling that tastes great for your hot dog!!!!
