Enjoy Life And Live It Up In The Kitchen
Why waist your time fretting over your back side? Sure it is wonderful to do a reasonable amount of exercise and stay healthy, but obsessing over it is not healthy and you will not look back on your life and say ‘phew I had a great butt’. No you will remember the fun times and all the experiences you had. So throw away the weight loss books and start living and enjoying your food again.
So stop the constant comparisons of your figure against say Naomi Campbell’s and just start enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Take joy in the fact that you have a body that works for you, even if it does not have perfect dimensions according to Vogue magazine.
Yes, you need to do some form of exercise regularly, because it keeps you healthy, makes your skin glow and also releases endorphins, which make you happy. No, your exercise regimen does not have to rule your life. Accept yourself as you are and your self confidence will grow in leaps and bounds and you will probably live longer. No matter how critical you are of yourself, you should be able to list at least a couple of things that you like about your physical appearance. When you have done that focus on remembering them and highlighting them in your dress sense and the way you carry yourself.
Many people would agree that one of the great pleasures in life is eating. We don’t mean those icky fast food rubbishy meals or other junk food that comes in a packet. We mean real food. A perfectly made profiterole or the delightful combination of flavors that is freshly rolled sushi are enough to bring some people to their knees.
Cooking for others too can be a singularly enjoyable experience. So why not think about taking private cooking classes as part of your snub to the gym junkies who robot their way through life? If you take classes, then you will not only expand your cooking repertoire, but you will also expand your palate.
In addition you will learn more about nutrition and making healthy, but scrumptious, meals at home rather than reaching for a frozen meal or something laden with grease. Grease might have been the word for John Travolta, but it shouldn’t be for you.
Life is just far too short to pass your days worrying about what your backside looks like. If you start getting out there and trying new things, meeting new people and thinking positively about yourself, your life and the world, then you will have a blast and get the most you can from the ride. If you are lucky, you might even learn to make the perfect cheesecake.
