I have to say that even when I work out............it's so hard to get other sisters serious about it! I try to do my part and encourage my sisters, but I get so frustrated sometimes! I think it comes from the way we're raised. Most of us didn't have parents that went jogging in the mornings are were diligent in their efforts to not only lose weight, but to just be healthy. We were also raised to eat whatever tasted good (soul food) without any thought to health ramifications. So when we have our own families now, we continue this tradition. I have even heard sisters say they didn't want to work out because they didn't want to lose their back side!
I try to explainm, that looking good is a BENEFIT of working out, not the sole reason. EVERYONE needs to work out AND eat right to be healthy. I know it's hard to get motivated to do sometimes, because there are always so many other things to do than to workout......but we have to set the example for our young people. Which is hard since this is the happy meal generation!
