What will it take?

Greetings Nakidfiners & Observants,

    Okay let's dig into a delicate topic, I posted up a blog written by a person I don't follow but read on a friends Facebook wall over night & from there I put it in Nakidfine & 9 my fitness forum.   I found the read to be very harsh & direct however with some truth in it used to provoke some thoughts and possible personal evaluation.  I am now also aware of the this bloggers approach and methods which are extremely far from my fitness & higher spiritual obligations.  Only if I would have known I have always been sensitive to my members and their feelings &  I knew the topic would reach my fitness family like nothing I have ever posted before and I made a comment above the article "PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT!!!".   I wanted to present it so a person could use it to evaluate themselves honestly and not be one of the types mentioned in the article while presenting how they may have over come or how they are in the process of overcoming and achieving fitness success.  Even though my intentions had a planned purpose it quickly offended a few of my most committed members who could very easily be labeled in one of the many harsh points the blogger was making.   Just that quick my plan back fired, even though publicly it was announce that it killed one persons vibe for the morning that was enough for me to pull the plug on that approach.  I'm kinda working on my professionalism for 2015, but the sensitive areas are the main ones that need their asses kicked.  So the #1 question I wanted to pose this morning "WHAT DID IT TAKE TO GET YOU OFF YOUR ASS??!!??!?!!!" Let's start there while reading a FLEXIMONY from Dea Win founder of Pretty Girls Rock Dresses.  


    The Mental Aspect of Weight Loss:

I have dealt with weight since I was four years old preparing for my cousin's big wedding. As I gobbled my happy meal down happily my aunt smiled and said with a raspy whisper, "D, looks like you need to get on a diet so you can look pretty in your dress at Carla's wedding!" with those words so began my infatuation with food, dieting, and weight loss. I have tried everything under the sun to move weight. As a teenager I was an exercising bulimic, as a young woman I spent countless hours in the gym trying to mold my body into the ideal shape. Little did I know the importance of dieting when I was killing myself in the gym. I joined weight watchers and it helped me bring structure to my eating but I was addicted to carbs, soda, and the comfort of food. People don't understand how hard it is to deal with weight when you have food addictions. As I have gotten older I understand the importance of picking better food but I remember the anguish of trying to reach a goal and not have all of the building blocks to help me succeed. We must be careful of our critique of others dealing with weight and health related issues. Just because it's scientifically easy for you to lose weight don't make it easy for the next person battling the bulge.

 It is not right for anyone to attack a person or make them feel attacked if they are attempting to face an obesity obstacle or just battling the mental anguish being looked at in society as unattractive in comparison to thinner women and it is not a BLACK THING or a WHITE THING nor is it gender specific it is daily struggle  even when you start to achieve some of your goals. It will always be a battle and the insensitive types are stacking the odds against us! I am included as well shit I gain 20 pounds my damn self! and it got me feeling some kind of way!  There are so many questions I wanted to ask this morning, I wanted to speak with my friend to make sure she is truly okay, I want to continue what Dea and I were discussing about just being sensitive to the needs.  I am truly lost in topic at the moment. I'm not even going to proofread I'm going to close here and revisit the topic later.  In temporary closing I will say you need to find a deep value in your purpose to get on this journey and make it a successful one.   Sometimes you have to prove em wrong, if that is what you need to  get off  your ass and start day 1 then use it and do it.  Be honest with yourself and yes some things will hurt and it may take some time to realize what will truly work for you to keep you where you want to be.  That takes time with patience,  obviously you will have to place yourself in a supportive arena because not all gatherings will be in your best interest and you can not afford to get emotional  and thrown off your focus.  I could have named the blog Nakidfine but I named it Pain & Physique for a reason, we all struggle even the insensitive ones that write nasty articles.  

I remain,
