Fixing the Weight Loss Issue: Do We Really Need to be Fixed?
Scientifically speaking, there are standards of good health that work together to improve quality of life and increase our chances of living longer, but when we enter into the "fix it" mode, is easy to operate as if something is broken. What would happen if we were to see ourselves as a whole human being, not perfect, not flawless, but whole?
Last spring, the brakes on my daughter's bicycle mysteriously stopped working. After several hours of trying to fix the problem, I exhaustively towed her "ride" to the bike shop. After standing in line for almost 45 minutes, the bike mechanic quickly noticed that the break cables were wrapped around the base of the handlebars. There was nothing to fix. I simply had to untwist the cables. I embarrassingly left the bike shop and went home to recuperate from the unfruitful and exhaustive process.
Comparatively, when we try to "fix" ourselves with the newest diet or exercise program, the process can become mechanical, robotic, and fruitless. Fixing what is in our pantries and abusing our bodies to exercise can set us up for failure. Seeing ourselves as whole can shift our thinking about weight loss and give us more resources to work with. It allows us to see our efforts to lose weight as a self-nurturing journey rather than a destination or a goal that will repair, fix or end in resolution.
We are wonderfully made and marvelously resourceful human beings. Most of us desire a healthy alliance with our bodies. Beginning a weight loss program with a wholeness perspective can offer a lifetime of motivation, momentum and drive!
