As we celebrate the independence of our motherland, we need to acknowledge that independence is about conquering anything that dominates you, breaks you, or hinders your journey to perfection.

Obesity not only makes you physically dependent on others but also dominates your mind, breaks you emotionally, and hinders your mental growth. I makes you feel belittled and much less than perfect for anything. It is not only your belly fat that you carry but also the strain of the limitations you have in your life because of it.

Independence is, in fact,
The freedom to improve human condition,
The freedom to pursue your happiness,
The freedom of expansion of human mind,
The freedom to develop and apply humanitarianism,
The freedom to create an individual’s will, motivations, preferences, and unique talents,
The freedom to enjoy freedom and empower others to do so

This freedom is not free but comes at a cost. The cost is bravery and sacrifice. You need to be brave and sacrifice on many things to fight obesity and be free.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.” – Brigham Young

So, this independence day:
Pledge to do what is right….
Pledge to fight obesity…..
Pledge to be free from it.
