You are sacrificing yourself

Hi, Everyone –

I am frustrated with people sacrificing their lives by eating junk and feeling unhealthy, yet the sacrifice of giving up a donut or a soda everyday is seen as unreasonable?  Why is this kind of sacrifice seen as being so profound? 

You sacrifice to be a good dad, a good worker, a good wife.  Change certainly has some discomfort associated with it, but it is so worth it! My patients always say the same thing about making the commitment and feeling the success, “I didn’t realize how happy it was going to make me!” 

This is all about the pursuit of happiness, is it not?  What are you doing day to day to be happy?  Do it for you because you have to live in your body everyday!
