There is a Haitian proverb that says "Men anpil chay pa lou" Many hands make the load lighter. In essense this means that working together, as a group , as a community makes things easier. As I take on my thrid Diet Bet challenge I'm reminded of this term. Yes my third :(
In thinking about how I gained weight since my last challenge, my food and eatiing struggles, motivation, depression and self loathing, this term reminds me of the community that DietBet sets up. With a cool incentive $$$. I vow to take advantage of it this time around instead of sticking to myself and on my own strength most of the time.
As a believer in God, I know I can never do things alone and with like minded people on the same journey of fitness-I don't have to. Sounds cheesy I know. But, it's true. This is the way I have to think if I'm going to beat these negative thoughts that help perpetuate my bad habits-unhealthy habits!
And so I write; to keep myself acountable and to keep you in the loop of my progress, struggles and hopefully success. I'll take it day by day, one step at a time. And all of these will add up. Many STEPS makes the load lighter-literally!
