Where's The Beef

He's very overweight, but he's happy and likes to laugh - Bullshit! How can you be a happy person when it's a struggle to walk up steps? How can you be a happy person when you haven't seen you penis in over five years? How can you be a happy person when your sugar is too high and your arms and legs hurt all the time? How can you be a happy person when a coach seat on an airline is very uncomfortable? How can you be a happy person when you find yourself eating when you're not even hungry?

She is way overweight, but she has a beautiful face - Bullshit. How can you be a happy person when your face looks like a baseball player's catcher's glove? How can you be a happy person when you know you were beautiful before you gained the extra 50 pounds? How can you be a happy person when it's extremely hard to find clothes that fit? How can you be a happy person when you have so much trouble just getting up on a bar stool?
  She is so skinny her bones stick out. I hate her because I have to watch everything I eat and she can eat anything she wants - bullshit. How can you be a happy person when you have to buy your clothes in the teen department? How can you be a happy person when everybody thinks there is something wrong with you? How can you be a happy person when the slightest bump on your body causes a major bruise? How can you be a happy person when you have to force yourself to eat a decent meal? How can you be a happy person when all your overweight friends and family hate your skinniness?

There are people who have physical and mental problems that cause their large size or their anorexia. I love them because they are trying so hard to overcome their disease. However, I have a problem with people who take away much of their happiness because they can't or don't want to control their eating habits.

It's not rocket science. Eat less, eat the right kind of diet and exercise. Why do they make it so hard when they know exactly what they have to do to get in shape?  I'm not saying they have to be perfect. A little overweight is OK. A little underweight is OK. I'm talking about a 5' 8" person who weighs over 200 pounds is not acceptable, not necessary and not healthy.  I'm talking about a 5' 2" person who weighs 80 pounds is not acceptable, not necessary and not healthy.

I believe these people are not happy deep down in their heart. They put on a great façade, but deep down they are discussed with themselves. They are angry with themselves because they know this didn't have to happen to them. They are frustrated with themselves because they keep talking about doing something about it, but never do. They are embarrassed with themselves because they know everybody is judging them because of their weight or lack thereof. They want a quick fix like liposuction or fat burning pills.

Your body is part of your happiness. To become a happy person everything you do, say and look like plays a role. Take a step back and think how much happier you would be if you were just a small amount overweight or a small amount underweight.

There are so many things we can't control to find the happiness we deserve. There are also many things we can control to lead us to happiness.

Your body is something you can control. Take the steps to become body happy NOW!
