You may wonder why I am writing a product review of GhostBed luxury sheets on MyBariatricLife.

Just like we learn to switch out food-related activities with something new and […]

The phrase ‘You Are What You Eat‘ means that it is important to eat good food in order to be healthy and fit. Well that is true! But it is even more correct to say, “You Are What You Absorb.” That’s because as we age we absorb less nutrients from the foods we eat. And those […]

Skin changes after bariatric surgery and many patients suffer acne and other dermatoses. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) say dermatological complications can be caused by metabolic and nutritional disorders, especially in malabsorptive procedures.

Thoughts on self #forgiveness:
#MyBariatricLife #bariatrics #bariatric #inspiration
I feel the bad things we do, or have done, or the bad decisions we have taken, could not have been done differently by the person we were. Nobody takes a bad decision knowing the consequences will be very hard to live with. We do what we do mostly in self-defense and based on our own self-image. A thief is really saying to himself 'I steal because I am a thief'. An abuser is saying to himself 'I abuse because I am an abuser'. People with self-respect and self-love could not imagine stealing or abusing. It would be unimaginable to them. When we don't love ourselves, if we think of ourselves as a thief or an abuser, that is exactly how we will behave. Sadly, that cycle always starts when people are treated badly, or are shown a bad example, when they are very young. Through guilt we force ourselves to live and relive our past. Our past remains our present, and becomes our future. Self forgiveness is the only way of renewing our hearts and minds, giving us the self-respect that makes the idea of behaving badly unimaginable to us. And self- forgiveness is something that only we can give to ourselves. But once we have, we can respect and love the people around us, because our self-image of who we are, is changed. Once we respect ourselves, we are naturally respectful to the people around us. So the more we forgive ourselves, the better we become as people. How simple is that :-) So do something wonderful today and every day. Forgive yourself and become the wonderful person you are, that is, when you and only you realize it.
