The article that NancyB posted was interesting to me. I absolutely agree that attitude / mental wellbeing plays a huge part in physical health. I know that I spent the entire 1990s VERY overweight. During that same time I had a lot of anger, a lot of feelings of “I deserve X,Y, and Z”, but didn’t feel I had to work or sacrifice for those things, I was just a generally unhappy person. After an eye-opening experience in my life, I began to take inventory of my attitudes and behaviors and made a choice to change. Somewhere in there, along with a more positive, healthy mental state, I got the lightning bolt BAM I needed to start losing weight as well. Before - in my “Bad Attitude” years, I would have laughed at the idea that someone can chose how they react to a situation…that people may not have control of the things that happen in life, but have control of how they live through those things. I would have called it New Age hogwash, or said, “that’s nice for people who don’t have a REAL life, but no one knows what I have to deal with.” My life was controlling me - not the other way around.
