I posted a status update recently which said, “You can’t hit a home run if you don’t step up to the plate.” I received a reply, “True. And if you don’t step up to the plate, you can’t strike out.”

I responded with, “Spoken like a true fearist. Certainly you won’t get hurt if you play it safe. But you’ll never win either. Success involves risk.”

In this episode of Forgive To Win, Walter Jacobson M.D. talks about Forgiveness and the many aspects of forgiving.  What is the definition of forgiveness? Why do we hold onto resentment? What can happen if we don’t move on from painful situations from the past?  What is an emotional prison? How do we detach from a bad experience? Those who don’t forget the past are doomed to repeat it!  What is a fear thought?

The number of people we need to forgive is relatively small.  But the number of people we need to stop judging is infinite!! Listen to Walter give us advice from his years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist as he shares his wisdom and knowledge with us: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/forgivetowin/2011/07/14/the-forgive-to-win-radio-show-episode-five

People who care about us will, oftentimes, say things to derail our weight loss efforts. It doesn’t mean they don’t care about us. It just means they aren’t in touch with their own motivations and fears.

A common fear friends will have is that if we lose weight we won’t want to be around them anymore and that we’ll abandon them. So they say things like, “You’re losing too much weight, you’re too thin, you look pale, you’re sure this is healthy for you?” … READ REST OF BLOG….

Weight loss is about delayed gratification. We need to appreciate that the work we’re doing today to make our lives better will reap great rewards but that it’s going to take time, which is important to remember so that we don’t get discouraged and give up our efforts when the going gets tough.

There was a story in the paper last week about fishermen in Los Angeles being warned against eating a number of species of fish they caught off L.A. shores that have been determined to be toxic. The response of the fishermen was basically, “We’re going to eat them anyway.”

This is fascinating to me. The fish are clearly unsafe to eat and yet these fishermen presumably don’t care. Their attitude reminds me of another story that came out a few weeks ago about Americans not being afraid to live near nuclear reactors.

You may be the exception to the rule but, the fact is, a great many people profess love for their loved ones and yet treat them in very unloving, invalidating and emotionally abusive ways.
