Oh, the bandwagon. For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, it's negative connotation comes from people's willingness to conform to social pressures or trends. For as long as I can remember, people have jumped on low carb, low fat, low calorie, and even gluten-free bandwagons in the attempt to drop some pounds.
Don't get me wrong, we all know I'm on a bandwagon or two. Thankfully America's health wagon has taken a shift from carb-depleted, cardio-induced thinness to strong women who eat the right foods. You guessed it, I prefer the latter.
Vanity isn't my purpose for conforming but, I am proud of the way my curves are shaping up. My bandwagon works for me. Thanks to it, I've made new friends and found new passions. The problem comes when I make excuses for myself, forget the reason I started my journey, and decide it's okay jump off the wagon. Even the bible warns about complacency.
Proverbs 1:32 tells us that fools are destroyed by their own complacency. I've teeter-tottered within the same 10 pounds lately and have lost sight of my goal. Today I'm making a commitment to hop on those bandwagons and get to work. Whichever your bandwagon might be, are you ready to reflect on your "why" and recommit?
