My most profound day of complete honesty with myself came the day I admitted I was really unhappy with what I had allowed myself to become and that Being Fat Sucks!

* Honesty is telling the truth.

* Honesty is straightforward conduct.

* Honesty is being sincere, truthful, trustworthy, honorable, fair, genuine, and loyal with integrity.

Have we blurred the lines between truth and honesty so much in this world that it is sometimes hard to identify the meaning to ourselves?

I have been through some very interesting lessons of late in my professional life with the way people handle things and to what level are they willing to be honest and take responsibility for what they do and how it effects others. The results have sometimes reminded me of the way I used to avoid the truth about how food was my enemy and my friend from one moment to the next. It also replayed for me the time when I finally found the courage to be honest with myself about how being me… Being Fat… Sucks!
That truth absolutely made it possible for me to finally deal with my pain and sorrow head on.
Why do people cloud the truth? Why do we try to blame instead of accepting what is our contribution to the situation and fixing that?
