It’s like that with lots of things; like playing the piano for instance. I didn’t have to be born a natural Mozart to play the piano. I would have to practice. Weight management too. I believe that I was born with broken appetite mechanisms (although I know I did my share to make it worse). It is so easy to point to those with exceptional metabolisms or great appetite regulation as if it is permission for me not to deal with mine because it’s hard for me. I have regularly excused myself from doing difficult things like quitting smoking and exercising by telling myself that if you are able to do something that I really struggle with, then it must be easy for you. It is clearly uniquely difficult for me – so, obviously I am off the hook. Even if that were true, that it is easier for you – because clearly some people are jocks and do love to do this – all I need to know is that I am not one of you. Weight management doesn’t come naturally to me. So, the question I have to answer for myself is, “Do I want it enough to work a little harder for it than someone else might have to?” As it happens, I also needed a chemistry tutor. So, I got one and passed chemistry.
