Well! Today, I will share my 3 cents worth about losing weight. There are many reasons why people want to lose weight. "I want to wear sexier clothes'' "I want to look good" "I want to be as slim as that xxx model" "I want to appeal to the opposite sex" Blah blah! I am sure there's a whole list of reasons. To be frank, I am in the midst of 'trying' to lose weight. Am I motivated by the reasons above? I dun think I dare to deny. I sure do want to have good figure, wear nice fitting clothes, be attractive etc etc etc. But I guess my main motivation is not all these. These to me are just by-product of losing weight. My main reasoning is HEALTH.
Being unnecessary 'overloaded' poses a lot of health issues. Heart problem lah, artilery kena stuck lah, diabetic lah, kidney failure lah, blah blah. I may not have this problem now as I am still young but I can't guarantee in another 10 years time. I dun want to be struck with such diseases becoz of my weight issue. It's going to be financially draining and most importantly, those love ones around me will be burdened too.
Look at this way, when one is struck with illness, he/she will not be able to fully 100% love the people around them and neither can they fully 100% received the love from the people around them. What do I mean by that? Imagine I tell my loved ones that I love them while spilling blood, I can't imagine how sad that situation is. I can't fully express my love to them in my sickness. And likewise, the loved ones will have to share the burden to take care of me. This is definitely still love but love with a heavy burden. I will prefer them to love me with a carefree heart. Having said this, I'm not blaming those who had sickness that they are irresponsible and had caused hardship to the people around them. Sometimes, sickness can still struck when we are healthy. There are situations beyond our control. What I am trying to say is that in my best effort, I should take good care (stewardship) of my body so that it can be used by God in it's best optimise level.
So, this is my motivation! To lose weight for God, not for vainity nor for my own interest. That this body is for the Lord's use and let it be at the best condition. (hehe! secondary interest: wear nice clothes and look good) Another 7kg more to lose till year end. Must peservere on!
