Plexus Myth #2

Plexus Myth #2: "I should be embarassed to admit I want to try/am taking Plexus, because it means I couldn't 'do it on my own.'"

Not only have I imposed this one on myself, before that I imposed it on other people.

Let's talk about me imposing it on other people.  I fought hard to lose so much weight a few years ago, and did it 'on my own'.  I was very prideful about that fact.  I kind of felt superior to all of my friends who were shedding their pounds with Plexus...as if they were cheating or taking the lazy way out.

And....while doing so....I sat.  Unhealthy.  Tired.  Trapped in my bad habits.  Feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

And they...well, they felt great.

There's no prize for achieving optimum health through only diet and exercise.  No one awarded me with a special trophy.

Getting healthy gets you healthy.

Everyone wins.

Except the person who is sitting.  Unhealthy. Tired. Trapped in their bad habits.  Feeling uncomfortable in their own skin.

So pretty much- who cares?  If someone thinks you are cheating.  If someone thinks you are lazy.  If someone thinks you should be able to do it the old-fashion way.  It doesn't matter in the end.

Let's talk about me imposing it on myself.   I felt like a failure as I was making that decision to "cross over to the pink side".   I felt disappointed in myself because I couldn't conquer my cravings with sheer willpower.  My stomach literally hurt when I decided to post my Plexus debut on Facebook.  I wanted to hit delete and hope no one had seen my post yet.

But what was the point of being so hard on myself?

And if I had listened to myself, I wouldn't feel as good as I am feeling today.

I was already, and still am, working hard to be consistent with my diet and work outs, but I needed a little more help.  And I'm so glad I got it with Plexus.

So if you are reading this and you are imposing pressure on yourself that is unnecessary...stop that right this minute!  :)

If you are reading this and imposing that pressure on someone else...well...just be nice.  Be encouraging.  Be a friend who supports others, no matter their path to a healthier lifestyle.
