+1? Or “It’s lonely being the healthy one…”
This week whilst sitting on my own while some friends had a cigarette one of them said to me, “It’s lonely being the healthy one.”
Later as I was mulling over the interactions of the day I remembered that moment and thought “Isn’t that interesting?”… When making positive life changes, particularly in areas such as diet and eating habits, it often feels like you’re alone, you feel isolated, like you’re missing out and it’s a challenge not succumbing to the peer pressure of the indulgent dining experience.
This week, instead of succumbing to the peer pressure around me, I’ve decided to be the change, to lead the way. I don’t anticipate this being easy, but I’ve been equipped with the knowledge and understanding of how to look after myself and I shouldn’t feel as though I need to compromise that. Is it going to be easy? No, of course not. But this week where people would say “You’re missing out”, I’ve come to realise that in fact I’m not missing out (even though it may have felt it at times). This week I’m +1 week into my new life of a healthier, happier, more vibrant me and I’m +1 set of positive life habits. The only loss I have experienced is my first 0.5kg. And well, that’s a +!
