Accountability

Over the weekend I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. I started to notice a trend in the things she would say, she would say well this person did that and this person did this to me. I was more then willing to listen to what was being said and really tried to find the true meaning of what she was saying. to be honest I was lost, I was lost because I would hear what everyone did to her and yet she never took accountability for the things that she said in did. Today's task is to start holding yourself accountable for the things you do and the things you don't do. I read someone's blog today and I was soo mad that I had to back out of reading it. She was complaining the scale hasn't moved for her and how the people around her around her stressing her out so much is going on. I am trying to figure out who said that having the lap band done would make all your troubles go away? who said that the lap band was a problem solver? I was trying to see in the blog if she worked out or if she was eating the right thing? its easy to blame someone or something when it doesn't turn out the way you hoped. If you want change you have to let go of the fear. I think we are so scared of whats behind the new door that we choose to stay in the same OLD situations. If I don't loose anything I can say well, I didn't work out or I didn't eat the right things. I can't blame it on anyone other then myself. Keep it real with yourself. I like to workout in the morning, I make sure that I get up early enough to make the time to work out. Some people may say that they are not morning people, and I say this if you needed to catch a plane you would get up early enough to do so. Why can't you get up early enough to take care of your body? Reading the blog really bothered me because its sad that nothing is being learned though out the journey, and sadly she will remain the same way until she challenges herself to make a difference.

This reminds me of my coworker. I hear it at least three times a week, "I'm going to start eating healthier and workout every day, starting next week." It's always next week. And when I ask if he worked out last night, there's always an excuse. We both get home from work at 5:30pm, and he is usually up until 1:00am, yet somehow there's never enough time to work out. Of course he had time to watch this program and that program.

I wouldn't care if I didn't have to honestly hear this multiple times a week. Get serious about it, stop blaming everything but yourself, and just do it.

The reason a lot of us do well with the band is because we make ourselves accountable for what we put in our mouths and what exercise we get. I like you always find time and it makes a big difference. You said what I feel what I feel and we all know that the band is just a tool we have to make work for us, not a magic wand!
