Okay, if you are overweight here is a little bit of tough love for you. Here are some well-meaning hard smacks and finger pointing to help you see where you are failing in your weight loss strategies. If you are fat, this is likely how you got that way, so don’t do these things anymore, ya hear?
You eat way too fast. Stop eating like it’s a race. Chew your food slowly, put your fork down between bites, don’t talk with your mouth full and make sure you can breathe while you eat. SLOW DOWN.
Your kitchen is a booby trap. Stop having all that cotton pickin’ temptation around. Get rid of the junk foods. Your kids and mate won’t starve if there’s nothing to eat in the house but healthy foods. Heck, you’re doing them a favor by chucking out that crap anyway. CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN.
Your emotions rule your hand-to-mouth disease. Stop letting every little trauma give you an excuse for shoving comfort into your mouth. You are solely responsible for how you feel, and how you deal with those feelings. So why feel WORSE because of further weight gain? GROW UP AND HANDLE YOUR PROBLEMS WITHOUT FOOD CRUTCHES.
You think starving yourself is the answer. Stop skipping breakfast, other meals or full days of eating in the hopes of dropping those lbs fast. It’s a pipe dream… they don’t come off fast, but you’ll soon be shoveling food in by the fistful again if you are so hungry you can’t see straight. EAT REGULAR MEALS.
You’re lazy. Get off the damn couch! Go work out for crying out loud. It’s good for you, it helps burn calories, it helps you lose weight, it increases your life expectancy. STOP WHINING AND GO GET SOME EXERCISE.
Your attitude sucks. You don’t believe you can do it. Well, you can. People who were worse off than you have accomplished bigger goals than this one. It’s doable. But you just gotta really believe you can. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
You don’t care enough to bother. Ha. Sure you don’t. Deep down you know you do. Check your self-loathing at the door and decide for yourself that this is something that matters enough to truly commit to… and it’s just because you care what happens to you. LOVE YOURSELF.
Okay? Feeling a little beat up now? Good. You needed a kick in the pants… didn’t you?
