You feel better about yourself?
?????
People hate the truth that much that speaking it makes you a bully or something?
I have been through both ends of the spectrum already. I got married when I was in great shape. I stopped eating well or caring about physical fitness. I got fat (not THAT fat, but fat), probably about 30-40 pounds higher than I should be. Marriage was not an excuse, I just did not think about my health whatsoever.
Luckily, I got a blood test done for my life insurance and saw how high my cholesterol numbers were and a lightbulb went off. I started with a
lifestyle change (not a diet) and slowly melted away my fat pound by pound for the next year. I will never go back. I do not want to leave my wife a widow, and I do not want my kids to have to come visit me at a nursing home when I am 80 years old.
My sister was pretty overweight and after she saw my results she also started a new way of clean living and has lost 40 pounds in the last 6 months. Not because she wants to be a fitness model, but because she saw my reasoning (for the sake of the kids) and realized that she was also being a poor example on her 4 little girls.
If people would start looking at it that way, rather than a quest to look like a magazine cover model then we might not have such an obesity problem. Unfortunately, too many people start on
diets and give up because they don't get quick results. Live a different lifestyle. Eat mostly healthy foods and if you have to eat something unhealthy then use a very controlled portion. Work out when you get a chance, it doesn't take much effort. Do 2 sets of pushups and 2 sets of bodyweight squats every day and you already are doing more than 90% of people. Marriage or kids is not an excuse to do the opposite.
