Top 10 Reasons Why You're
Overweight
YOU are
overweight because...
1. Day
To Day Overlap: By now you probably think - "ah it's too
late anyway - whatever"... THAT is a horrible way to think my friend!
Yes it's true that you've probably just been overlapping this horrible
daily habit for a long time, and now it just seems hopeless to try to
stop - but you MUST. If YOU plan on staying alive and not getting a
life threatening disease you MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TODAY.
2.
The Foods You Eat Are Probably
- My guess is that you probably don't have THAT bad of a diet or food
intake menu... however being able to pinpoint the few things that you
are consuming daily that attribute your fat are vital in starting a
path to a new you.
3.
Stress Is Your Biggest Enemy
- I said it - stress kills! It's bad enough that you have to deal with
this problem your body is going through, but you have your job and
employer breathing down your neck, you have social issues with friends,
you have a family to be a part of, and you probably rarely have time
for yourself anymore. You MUST learn to take deep breaths and realize
that it's going to be ok, and YOU are in control - stress is nothing
more than little signals your brain sends you, it's your choice to let
it bother you and at what capacity, stress control should always be
taken into account when trying to lose weight. Sometimes that same
stress will simply make you quit your diet, binge like crazy, and BAM
you're back to fat - or even fatter.
4.
Time Management Issues - "Honey do you know where my
keys are I'm late!" - Sound familiar? If you're always on the run and
never have time to relax or really stay ahead of your day instead of
playing catch up all the time, you're in some trouble... Learning to
plan your day, night, meals, sleeping schedule and building towards a
healthy routine that enables you to stay ahead of it - is paramount.
5.
Social Support System - Do
your friends 'realllly' and truthfully not mind hanging out with you
anywhere anytime despite your weight? Or are your friends also equally
unhealthy and big? Learning to accept your social issues and drama and
confronting them with your peers is important. Your friends and family
should support your thirst to get back in shape and bring back the
authentic you, always!
6.
Dreaded Exercise... - It's
ok (well - no - it's not) if you're not a gym buff or don't live at
your local club every day... However not having ANY exercise like even
a half descent walk is going to be enough to drown you in your own fat
soon. Seriously, most don't know it but if YOU went for a 40-50 minute
walk 4-5 times a week, you could lose your first 5-10 lbs in under ONE
MONTH! YES SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS WALKING - it's important to make your
body active and condition it to be active DAILY or at least bi-daily so
it gets use to the changes you are going to put it through on your diet.
8.
Drink Much? Whatcha Having?
- It's just a beverage right? And you hate buying a 'diet' anything or
a 'low fat' anything as well because you know how gross it usually
tastes... Ask yourself right now how many times a day do you consume a
beverage and what is it that you are drinking? If you can replace
40-50% of your intake with SIMPLE TAP WATER you are also on your way to
losing up to 5 lbs this month from that technique alone. Our body needs
water, and often times DOES NOT need any other additives that are found
in over 90% of the crap that brands get us to buy.
9.
Did You Take Your Vitamins Today?
- Even those old school Flinstone vitamins are better than nothing - in
fact A LOT better. Taking vitamins will replenish you and give you
energy throughout your day where you would otherwise get fooditis (the
term I use when you get VERY LAZY after a meal). Next time you're at
your mall or supermarket, grab some general all purpose vitamins and
START TAKING THEM - It may not be something you'll have to do for the
rest of your life, but right now your body needs to see change, and
needs to start absorbing something good again.
10.
You Love Fast Food Too Much
- That doesn't necessarily mean that you go to burger joints every
single day and eat nothing but grease (but some of you probably do). It
more so means that you rarely cook at home, or use cheap brands and
fast efficient microwave dinners or 'convenient cooking' techniques
which are usually botched and full of fake replacements (have you
actually read and educated yourself HOW to read the nutrition factors
of a box when buying food? you should!).
*BONUS 11.
LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF! -
"Bahaha good joke mate!" << Being able to laugh a lot
EVERY DAY is going to both keep your spirits up and bring out a sense
of well being - however more importantly it's going to actually help
you lose weight. How? Well, when you laugh, your stomach muscles and
surrounding areas go through quite the shock treatment. When you laugh
you are flexing and relaxing and tightening and stretching your muscles
and body in MANY quick fluctuations which your body sees as a little
work out. Ever have your cheeks hurt from laughing? or your abs? That's
the same pain you feel when you do an extensive workout. So grab your
local cartoon pages from the paper every day, or visit a joke site for
10-20 min a day. You'll be surprised how adding this 10 minute daily
haha into your life will change you for the better. You might even
become the new water cooler highlight at work telling jokes and keeping
others happy and laughing.
