All hard work pays off in the end!

Hey there!

So, I guess that you could call me an instagram-a-holic! I love to browse through progress pictures and all kinds of healthy posts that I can find, they are all very inspiring to me. I also enjoy reading other peoples experiences and what they had to deal with and how they got to the point that they are at now. You know, general things like that I guess. :)

Its extremely inspiring seeing the hard work and effort that people put in, and the incredible transformations that they end up with. Its like a butterfly, breaking free of its cocoon. Its beautiful really. I really hope that everyone is proud of the work that they have done, because if it was easy .. it would be something everyone would do.

The only thing that really makes me nervy, is when I see people trying to do a quick fix. Quick fixes never work or even last, at the end of the day.

I'm going to relate this to these ridiculous wraps that I keep seeing. I guess that the buyers don't seem to realize that the only thing they do, is remove excess water .. which of course you will gain back once you stop using them. Why not just go to the gym? Its a lot cheaper than paying $200 or more for 10 of these silly wraps. At least going to the gym, you will attain lasting results .. but that is also if you change your diet accordingly.

I guess its always easier to look for a quick fix alternative, rather than to put in the hard work to get the desired results. It really irks me. But to each their own I suppose.

The same goes for diet pills. I don't see why people buy them. I also do not understand why the FDA allows them to be marketed. Maybe its just because I work in health care, but I assumed that most people knew that they were not good for your liver. Most of these pills cause lasting liver damage, just the same as alcohol does. This isn't mean to scare anyone, its just something that I thought was generally well known... but if you are taking them, I would recommend that you don't.
Healthy alternatives are always the better alternatives. As I mentioned above, changing your diet and going to the gym is the best way to the the results you want without damaging your organs.

You always feel proud of yourself, when you know that you have worked your tail off for what you have achieved. Its an awesome feeling. In the end, its always hard work that pays off .. not to mention it makes you feel so good about yourself for what you have accomplished.

Never settle for the easy way out .. because that is the route most people opt for. Instead,  take the difficult road. Choosing the difficult road only shows that you have the courage to do, what most will not. It shows that you are willing to stand alone and learn from difficulties that you may face.
You can never learn, if there are no challenges. You can do anything, you can accomplish anything and you can most certainly be anything .. if you just put your mind to it!

Hard work always overshadows quick fixes!

Nothing worth having is ever easily attained!
