Guilty as charged

I was reading an article today about ‘The Commando’ from Biggest Loser, and no it nothing to do with Michelle Bridges (thank heavens). The content of the article was basically about the types of training you would have to do to look like the Commando in addition to the diet. This man is a professional sportsman in my eyes and I admire his mental ability to focus on his goals. He eats between 3 and five meals a day and I’m sure they are well balanced healthy meals to give him the nutritional requirements that his physically strenuous workouts no doubt require. 

There were an number of quotes made my another fitness writer, trainer and nutrition consultant called Ray Klerck that made a lot of sense so I have added a link below if you would like to read the article, but the stand out to me was the following quote:

"Think about people with disabilities who would give anything to have the use of your body for a day, so a good goal would be to be appreciative of your gift, love it and use it,"

Most of us could do with eating a little better, doing more exercise and generally taking more care with our bodies but just thinking what someone else would give to have such changeable dramas in unimaginable. This small line contained in an article has had me thinking for most of the day.

We need to be thankful for what we have. We can look at the celebrities with bodies that we are envious of then look back into our own reflections and consider our thighs too big, our butts are too big or small, our boobs are too small or saggy but we are who we are and we need to be grateful. We can take inspiration from people like Opra Windfrey who has battled with her weight publicly for a long as I can remember; just goes to show it doesn't just take money to fix these problems. We can look at Victoria Beckham who to me never looks happy or healthy, just thin and sad.

I am guilty of forgetting how lucky I am, something I am endeavoring to change.
