Today is Part 3 of our “QUITTING” Series and today we focus on health, physical, financial, and emotional. Obesity is running rampant in America! It is really scary. People are getting bigger and bigger and their shapes are OUT OF CONTROL. Some people are just naturally large and that is fine…if you are healthy, but when you become disproportioned that’s not healthy for you socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We need to QUIT the bad eating habits and begin to eat right to feel better and look better.
7. QUIT eating things you know are not good for you! If you can’t
quit…eat smaller portions! (HGB: Try eating on a smaller plate. We tend to pack our plates so we cannot see the actual plate! If we use a smaller plate we can still pack on the food, but you will have less space to cover therefore, you are eating smaller portions. Think about Europeans and European restaurants. Europeans are significantly smaller than Americans and that is because their portions are a lot smaller.)
8. QUIT buying things when we know we can’t afford them! If you don’t
have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging things,
especially when you don’t NEED them!
HGB: We need to also get out of debt! If we do not have the money in the account at the moment, it can wait. We tend to charge, charge, charge, to “buy things to impress people we don’t even like” (I forgot where I heard that from…not taking credit) Lets get smart about our finances. We need to get those FICO scores up and rebuild our credit. Our credit is our life line. If it is ruined we cannot get an apartment, house, car, and sometimes even a job! We need to be smart!
9. QUIT staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people
to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is
not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they
will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that
the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting
them!
HGB: Misery loves company and I would rather be alone than to be miserable! We know in our hearts when a relationships is not working. Lets not hold on to what is not there. It is ok to let go. Often times people stay in bad relationships because they are afraid of what life will be like without that “security.” Stop making excuses! It may be difficult when you first leave that unhealthy relationship, but soon you will realize YOU ARE WORTH MORE! The relationships can be with a spouse or even a friend. If you feel like you are being abused you do not need to be in that situation.
Stay tuned for Part 4. It only gets better!
