So, why do we treat ourselves so poorly?

Here's what I have been told.

• Where do you start?
• Taking care of yourself involves deprivation.
• It is more costly, difficult and /or time consuming to be healthy.
• Getting healthy is a punishment for getting sick.     
• I don't believe I deserve to have optimum health.
• I'm "healthy enough", my meds manage my conditions.

None of these are true.
