Day 217 in my miracles life
I failed, no i didnt have my own diet fail, but i failed in being a supportive friend to others on a diet.
Diets are hard, very hard, not only sticking to a diet, but choosing the right diet for you, living the diet, and creating a lifestyle that supports the diet….
And when i use the word diet, i dont mean a diet in the typical sense, i mean a diet in the way that it is part of your every day life, deciding to change you life, your lifestyle and everything and everyone that surrounds you so that YOU can be a healthier version of yourself….
I am healthy, and yes i say that i am on a “diet” but it is my lifestyle, it is the way that i choose to live, and as hard as it is for some others to understand cutting out certain foods is the way that i live, watching what i put in my mouth is the way that i live, and some would think i am crazy, insane, stupid, not living my life, not eating correctly – whatever, but i have found a “diet” that suits me and that is working for me and i am sicking to it… So who am i to critazise others who have worked just as hard as me to find a “diet” a healthy lifestyle that suits them?
I try as hard as i can not to be a hypocrite, but yesterday when i was sent an article on a particular diet i posted it on twitter to a dear friend of mine who is currently doing that diet…. To me the article was interesting… A different perspective, and my fail is based around the fact that the article was negative… I hadnt meant anything bar the fact that the article was interesting / a different perspective, however due to my lack of comment on the twitter post, it was taken in the wrong context stirring the pot on something that really didnt need to be stirred…
And i just want to say that i am sorry and that i failed. Please forgive me for my naivety
DIETS ARE HARD… And to those of you out there who are making negative comments on this particular diet or ANY particular diet, i ask you… HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON A DIET? WHAT DO YOU EAT EVERYDAY? HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE YOU LOST LATELY? HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE YOU GAINED LATELY? And as harsh as it sounds WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHAT WE DO?
It is our lives and our bodies, if we choose to restirict carbs to loose weight – then that is our choice, if we choose to do the Atkins Diet, the Dukan Diet, the Tony Fergason Diet, the Grapefruit Diet, the BabyFood Diet, the SeeFood Diet… What ever – it is our choice, we dont tell you what to eat, so dont judge us for what we eat… Because we are not judging you for what you choose to do in your lives…
I dont want to be a hypocrite, i dont want turn into the person who judges others, and the article i posted yesterday was certinaly NOT intended to put my dear friend down, let alone lead to negativeness, i mean of all the people i know he has been the MOST supportive to me and my diet, he has been the one who has cheered me on and pulled me out of the dimmer days, been the one to say “YEY” when i succedded and “keep at it” when i didnt….
So once again my friend, i am sorry… Your diet is your diet and unless it is you who asks for help NO ONE has the right to tell you how to live your life, nor how to create a lifestyle that suits you….
And if i have one peice of advice to those out there who critazize…. You try loosing more than 30 kilos in six months and see how you feel…
Diets ARE HARD – Be supportive, not negative.
