Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:11:57 -0800 Debbie Rocker http://health.yahoo.com/experts/rockertraining/11012/accepting-yourself-is-the-first-step-to-success/ Are you one of those people who beat themselves up for not having the perfect body, or for overeating at a BBQ or missing a workout? If you are, you probably do it more than you realize, and are likely inhibiting your progress rather than enhancing it by being so hard on yourself. Whatever you put the most energy into, you’ll get the most out of. You may think you’re putting energy into being thin, when in fact you are focusing on how unhappy you are not being thin - there is a big difference.

I know so many people that workout so much, for so little. Not me. When I exercise, I make every effort count. My exercise is efficient, well-planned and results-oriented.

I have wanted to give it up because it seems to have an unhealthy hold on me.

Just like your bank account, if you spend more than you put in, your bank account or, in this case your body, will shrink.

A lot of what we do is counterproductive – so, let’s start new.
