"In order to have the body you want you have to hate the body you have."
i'm not sure where this quote originated, but i found it on some triathlon forums. any thoughts on this? i don't agree with it. hate is an awfully strong word. i guess i think i can work toward the body i want and still be relatively satisfied with where i'm at currently. i can understand the concept: that unless you feel strongly about making a change, you will have a harder time sticking with it and attaining your goals. however, i think it's unhealthy to HAVE to have that mentality to change. i think that would be a terrible way to go through life - to be unable to change something unless you hate it. i can look at myself and see things that i'd like to change, but i don't need to hate those things about myself. i should eat better, but i don't HATE how i eat currently. i could be fitter, but i don't HATE how i feel or how i look. it seems like i would spend a lot of time being unhappy if i require hatred for self-improvement.
