Written by R. A. Stewart Not being accepted by others is one thing, but not accepting yourself is another altogether.  You may not have any control over people who do not accept you but you do have control over whether you choose to accept yourself; in other words, accepting yourself is a choice, it has nothing to do with your circumstances, how you are treated, or the body you have. The weight loss industry and the self help industry are worth billions. People are spending a fortune in the hope of becoming something other than who they really are.  For so many people this is an unrealistic goal.  Wouldn’t it be far better if these people made the most of who they are rather than try to change something which is not within their nature. All animals have their own nature; some like to run such as race horses and greyhounds, some kill other animals, others fly or swim. Try changing the nature of any kind of animal species and see how far you can go.  Some goodie Two s...

How an inferior complex hinders weight loss No one can make you feel inferior without your consent but try telling that to someone who is being constantly put down and made to feel that they are less valuable than others. It is often those people in authority to us which are mostly to blame for the emotional damage which they inflict on others. This could be at home, at school, or at work.

A person with low self-esteem is less likely to take care of themselves and sometimes get involved in unhealthy habits such as eating junk foods, taking drugs, or drinking alcohol.  These things are no substitute for real friends. A pastor once said, “A girl will date their self-esteem,” in other words, she will set lower standards than someone who has a higher self esteem. What are the contributing factors to low self esteem? 1. Being constan...

Healthy living Answer to the question: What is the biggest diet mistake? The number one mistake is to make unfavorable comparisons with others. Everyone is different, therefore it is important to accept yourself as who you are and to accept the differences in others. When it comes to dieting and weight control it is just as important to set goals which are personal to your build. Everyone has a different metabolism system so you need to listen to your own body and not the others. When it comes to focusing on your own personal circumstances it is equally applicable to other areas of your life such as finances and career choices, therefore, make choices based on what is best for you and not based on the opinions of others. Answer to the question “Why should you only change your diet one food at a time. “You should only introduce one new food to your diet at a time say, one new food per week and the reason being that if a certain food is causing you problems then you will know who the c...
