"Don't waste 95% of your life worrying about weighing 5% less"

What a powerful thing to say.

An interesting study was done on people who recovered from being bullied and body shamed when they were young.  One of the questions it asked was if they had a mantra or quote that helped them through their darkest days of being bullied and body shamed.  About half of them did.

One woman said, "Don't waste 95% of your life worrying about weighing 5% less."  She didn't want to let a little extra bit of weight ruin everything else in her day or her life.

This is touching.  I suspect she did go through a lot of worry and pain before she came to this "Aha" moment.  

It's easy to spot the one thing that isn't perfect in our life.  While some people might think its makes them a perfectionist, obsessing on it is probably just going to make them less happy with the rest of their life. 

There's a story of a man who's at a work meeting and the boss asked if there are any other announcements.  The guy stands up, looks around the room, clears his thhrou"My wife just completed a 40 week body building program this morning," a man proudly announced one day at work.  "It's a girl and it weights 7 lbs. 12 ounces."

There's a lot of amazing things to think about and focus on in your amazing life.  If 5% of your weight is a concern, maybe it only deserves 5% of your attention.
