The 'enemy'

Something Sean (link) wrote the other day really resonated with me.

Food is NOT the enemy.

What Sean wrote about was realising that he was the reason he was overweight, not food.

I am probably repeating Sean in what I am going to write, but I need to put my thoughts in my words....

I am not the enemy either.  This is my life.  Not a war.

Food is a requirement for life.

Food can be healthy (or not), delicious (or not) but it is always going to be part of my life.

Making food a negative in my life won’t ever work, or at least not for long.

My journey to becoming the best me is mainly an internal one.   It is about changing the way I think and behave.

One of the key changes for me is about changing my approach from a battle plan to a series of personal goals.

Another is learning to accept who I am now, that the journey to the best me is part of my life, not a break from life where everything else is on hold until I become a new and improved me.

Food is not the enemy, and neither am I.
