A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION - AN IDEA


This will make you mad.  What I am about to say, will make you mad.  I said it again.  Normally, I don’t say things like this, because as a Nutritionist, you try not to offend any potential clients.  But sometimes, things like this need to be said, for the better of everyone.  Consider the following post “tough love” from me.
You are fat.  If you aren’t fat, you don’t have to read this, but you may very well get what I’m talking about.  Now, here is a list of the things that HAVE NOT made you fat:
Your genetics.
Your job.
Your kids.
Your work schedule.
Your Pets.
The UPA.
The economy.
Your husband/boyfriend/wife/girlfriend.
Your kids shuttle practice.
Your work deadlines.
Technology.
The holiday season.
People’s birthdays.
Your vacation.
Your pregnancy 2 years ago.
The amount of money you make.
The amount of time you have.
The Climate and your Allergies
The cost of a gym membership.
The cost of healthy food.
And on. And On.  And ON….

Now, here is a list of the things that HAVE made you fat:
YOU.

That’s it.  You are strictly to blame for where you are with your weight.  Don’t blame anyone else, or anyTHING else. You are directly responsible for every little piece of cake you have put in your mouth, every beer you have chugged, every cheeseburger you have inhaled, every loaf of bread you have spread butter on, and every workout you have skipped.  I am sure at first, you will take offense to this, because it is basically calling you out.  But if you actually think about it, how exactly did any of the above reasons make youfat?  Did your kids soccer practice make you have to go to the drive thru and order a value meal, or was it up to you to prepare before hand and make sure that wasn’t the end result?  Did your work make you miss your workout because you stayed an extra 3 hours past 5 pm, or did YOU make you miss your workout because you wouldn’t take 15 minutes out of your day to make sure you “got it in”?  For every reason you say you can’t drop the weight, there is 5 solutions.  Sometimes it takes the realization that the only thing that is holding you back from being the “fit” you, that you want to be, is yourself.  Let’s take for example, this holiday season.  I will guarantee you that multiple people will be telling me that they aren’t coming to fitness camp because there is a holiday party they have to go to, or they can’t afford it right now (which is valid), or they like to hibernate in the winter, and they’ll pick it up in the New Year.  I understand that there are holiday parties, but you could go get your workout in on your own.  You don’t have to rely on someone else to work out.  Everyone knows how to do jumping jacks and pushups and lunges.  Do them on your own time.  If you can’t afford it, same deal.  Do what you know, on your own.  Take accountability and be proactive.  And third, you are not a bear.  Bears hibernate.  People do not.  Every time you hibernate and don’t work out in the winter, it puts just a little bit more fat on your body, and makes you just a little bit more unhealthy, and will make it even harder to get to where you want to be ultimately.
I am sorry If I offended anyone, but sometimes as they say, “the truth hurts”.  I hope it only stings for a second, until you realize, that there is truth to this truth, and you can decide to change what you are doing for the better, or you can keep getting fat.  Don’t blame this on circumstances.  Assess your circumstances, and find solutions to the road blocks.  If you are driving cross country and a road is closed, do you cancel your trip?  I would hope not. You find a route that works.  That’s what you need to do with your overall health.  Happy Holidays:)
