My cousin used to be married to a man who suffered from bipolar disorder but did not keep up with his treatment. One of the stories she told me about him was that he decided, while he was unemployed, that he wanted to take up surfing. He bought a high-end surfboard, got the car fitted with a rack, and indulged in all of the other accessories that accomplished surfers buy. Despite the fact that they lived in Northern Alabama.
I have to admit that this story struck a bit of a chord with me because I have a tendency to approach big changes in my life, particularly health and fitness, with this attitude: if I buy it, it will happen.
Join me over the flip to talk about the accouterments of success in health, fitness, and weight loss.
