I had a woman tell me she respects me because I am sticking to it so diligently.
I think that translates to: "Hey Chris... You are nuts!" LOL |
Woman: I'm going to get that bariatric surgery. ME: You know you might want to try the post surgery diet for a year before you make that decision and see if it's something you can stick to for the rest of your life. Woman: OMG!!! No! Have you seen that diet? It's awful. ME: Really? Well good luck with that. |

It's as if people WANT a complicated diet plan or "easy weight loss secret". Maybe from now on I should tell them to eat 3 avocados at every meal or something off the wall like that. I think I'd get more positive responses.

There's no real secret or special trick to weight loss beyond eating fewer calories and burning more calories. There are ways to make that easier (eating fewer of the really good tasting foods we've been conditioned to crave and eating more vegetables for example). I'll be the first to admit that a plate of enchiladas tastes way better than a plate of vegetables but the first one isn't going to get me to my goals. |

If it's something complicated, people have an excuse not to do it.
If it's easy and you choose not to, there's no excuse and you have to take a long, hard look at yourself and ask why you aren't doing it. It's hard to take that long, hard look sometimes.

It's simple, not easy. So far, every one seems to get that. - Donna |
