First of all. Please exuse any of my gramatical errors. English is not my first language.
God, I’m so sick of people telling other people about how to suceed with their weightloss, weightgain, body toning, body building etc. They make it sound so simple and so easy that any idiot could do it. Those of you who have dieted, tried to pump up you muscle or done pilates without any results know what I am talking about, any idiot can’t do it.
It also bothers me that people can’t be left alone with their body. If you’re fat, most likely you will have had someone tell you to diet. If you’re skinny, you probably heard people saying that you have a scary disease, and if you limpy you have heard people telling you how to get defined. What a load of crap. I’ve been overweight my entire life. People have told me that numerous times. They’ve told me to diet in a fashionable manor just because they didn’t want to hurt my feelings. They’ve come up with advise ment in the best possible way. Yet, I never ever took their words to me and physically dieted. Why?
I’ll tell you why. It was because I, and I alone didn’t get to decide it. So over the course of a few years I didn’t hear people saying anything. I still gained some weight, was in terrible condition and didn’t feel so good. Then one day, out of nowhere I decided, and I alone, to diet. I still remember why and that terrible thing I saw on tv while eating crips. I felt so sick. So disgusted. And then I dieted. And I have suceeded with that.
In my mind my sucess is my own. I had NO help from anyone. I didn’t say to anyone that I was on a diet. I just did it. Everyone who has tried to diet know the humiliation when they have told everyone that they are on a diet, and then not to suceed. I didn’t want to speak of it. I was so selfconcious about my body, and wanted to do it on my own. Especially without my mother nagging me if I were to eat something I wasn’t supposed to on a diet. Oh, I can litterally hear her voice and her accusing outburst.
On the other hand. I had made up my mind. I was determed to make it. I was going to be thin. Simply because I was the one to make that decition. Not you, not them, not some magazine. Me!
I am so sick of people telling other people what to do. “Just eat less and work out more”. It isn’t qute as simple as that, and about 80% of the world doesn’t understand that. It is about SO much more, and much more than any stick thin person can comprehend. It is both about the physical and the mental. It’s about thoughts and feeling, how heavy you are and what kind of physical problems one has.
So here’s my rule on how to suceed: When doing something important (or not important), make sure that the decition to do it reflects back you and that you have made that decition on your own without beeing influent by someone who doesn’t (or does) have a clue.
