Charlie and Alexandra both found that when you follow your instincts to lead a
healthier lifestyle by taking a courageous action, change starts to happen in your life.
It takes courage to start something, it takes courage to stick with it, and it
definitely takes courage to share it with the world. That’s what Pakinam described
to me. Courage is what it required to lose weight because sometimes, as Pakinam
writes, the gap between where you are and where you want to be can seem so huge,
that we can’t even face how much work we have to do:
Hi Mel,
For my entire life I have been over weight. Now I am trying to diet for the first time in my life. I feel lost and trapped, but
I keep on going. I have a massive feeling of insecurity and vulnerability. Can you please explain this?The short answer is that the gap between the person you are now and the
person you want to become can seem so big that it feels impossible to bridge that
gap. Feeling this way is normal, but allowing those feelings to take over your mind is
a form of self-abuse.
