Excuses, excuses

It's amazing to me that people will count every single penny that they spend but they never count a calorie. Then they complain that they are fat, fat, fat. Gosh, wonder how that happened? I laughed to myself when I was talking to someone the other day & she said; "oh, I can't afford your products" while she was holding a large pumpkin latte from that famous coffee place that started in Seattle. On both her counts she was way off. Coffee is not a meal & for less than half what she spent on that latte she could have had my product and gotten less than half the 700 calories she was drinking. Duh. So my list for today is top 10 excuses for staying fat!

1. It costs too much to eat healthy! Yeah, like its cheap to be unhealthy. You spend more in a month on cookies, chips, ice cream & snacks than a program costs. You buy what you really want. We all do.
2. I don't have time for that. But you have time to watch all you favorite shows or go shopping. We all have the same 24 hours a day & we all choose how we fill those hours.
3. I tried that, it didn't work for me. No, you cheated every day & you didn't do what I told you to do.
4. I can't drink that much water! Oh, but you can drink soda or coffee non-stop?
5. My doctor won't let me use your products. Your doctor says you can't have food?
6. It gave me constipation. No, you didn't drink enough water & gave yourself constipation.
7. It gave me diarrhea. No, lack of fiber & all the crap you've been eating up til now gave you diarrhea. Once you clean out your colon you'll be fine.
8. My husband won't let me. And that's ok with you? Is he the beneficary of your life insurance?
9. I'm a big person, I need more food! What are you a sumo wrestler? You do not need more than 1800 calories probably less. You don't even exercise!
10. It's runs in my family, everyone in my family is large. It's genetic. Know what else runs in families? Poor eating habits. Monkey see, monkey do.

Now, in looking back at what I wrote, I don't see the humor I was trying for because this just is NOT funny. It is so sad that people are fat and unhealthy, trying every crazy diet or running to the doctor to save them. Doctors are not wellness providers they are sickness managers. It's cheaper & easier to take charge sooner than later. Once you are on the slipery slope of bad nutrition choices, its all downhill.
If you think that I am picking on obese people, you are mistaken. I try to think of ways to reach unhealthy people every day. I want to help people be healthy & happy. But I can't want it more for them than they want it for themselves.
