I met a fat lady today. Let's call her "Mary".
Five years ago Mary was a fitness instructor at a health club and was terminated after getting too fat following an accident which sidelined her training. The club offered Mary another position in the office, because a fat instructor sent the wrong message to the members.
Mary refused and was let go.
Mary's reaction was anger, and she was going to sue. Her attorney said the case would be pointless given that Mary was offered another position, and her contract as an instructor was contingent upon personal physical fitness. Mary went on to get a job at another club....but not as an instructor but in the office.
Let's play the tape forward 5 years to today.
Mary is still fat and full of excuses. Time has a way of validating a decision, and her former employers saw that Mary's personal commitment had waned. In life people evaluate us on how well we maintain our bodies, and though most of us are not in the business of fitness, we are judged. And just like Mary, we can be REJECTED!
It happens in business as well as the game of love. It's not that fat people can't get a career or relationship. The problem is that when we're not the best version of ourselves, we are cheating our purpose to glean the most from life. It's about realizing potential, living well, looking good and feeling great!
So, get to work...
All Is Possible!
