One of the things that I LOVE about The Healthy Edge is that the program gives you tools to figure out WHY you are overweight, because let's face it, we all like food so that isn't an excuse. They do an exercise on taking responsibility for your actions and not being a "victim" around why you are overweight.
If I hear one more person complain about being overweight but then see a post or hear them say "Can't wait to head to McDonald's for my morning frappe" (which by the way a SMALL contains 480 calories and 20 grams of fat and has NO nutritional value) I'm going to ask them if they would just like me to inject it directly into their thighs, because that's eventually what is going to happen anyway. Come on people, get a clue!
I know I weight what I do because I chose to make bad food choices and eat portion sizes that could rival a sumo wrestler. But I can't and won't blame that on anyone but myself. Nobody forced me to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch in one sitting, but I did it anyway. And not one person held a gun to my head and said "Eat that steak that is the size of your head along with the baked potato with sour cream and butter or I will blow your brains out."
Could we please all just get honest with ourselves and admit that if we are overweight it is because of what WE chose to put in our mouths, and not anyone else's fault!
I'm getting honest and choosing to take responsibility for myself. What are you going to do to Choose Your Health Today?
