I am slowly learning that it is not the big acts which help lose weight. It’s not the ‘Atkins’ the ‘Weight watchers’ or the ‘Slimming World’ membership. It’s not even the giving up of sugar….fats…carbs….or the ingesting of a paleo, liquid, protein only diet. Oh no, no, no. It is, in fact, about the teeny tiny decisions made every minute of every day.
Taking the stairs rather than the lift. No sugar in a cup of tea. A small slice of cake. A salad instead of chips. Small decisions which quickly add up. No it is not the massive gestures which make up the body, mind and soul, it is the small decisions quietly carried out each and every day of our lives. They are our legacy. They are what make us the women we are. Small decisions. Made over and over again. Until a habit is formed. Those habits will then decide character. And it is that character which ultimately decides our destiny.
A healthy future? An unhealthy future? I decide. Because my actions will always follow my thoughts. And my thoughts are under my control.
