You're Fat and Super Sized - Isn't it Time You Stopped Crying About it?

i never liked to use the word obese, but if I wasn't already there I was rapidly losing my footing on a very slippery slope. I would watch those slender people sunning by the pool, and I would just hate them!Because I was fat and they weren't. It wasn't fairthat they would get to feel the warm sunshine on their skin and dive into that crisp cool water when the heat got too much. I wanted to look like them and live like them but I wasn't willing to take the necessary steps to be like them.

• Yes, I was concerned about my weight and all the extra fat I was carrying around my hips and waste,etc...
• Yes, I knew there were health risks from being overweight.
• Yes, I read everything I could get my hands on about getting a flat stomach,the latest diet craze,how to count calories and the fastest way to lose weight.

I was afraid I would fail and just beat myself up more.
I was afraid I would succeed... for a while, then put it all back on plus a little more.

We substitute food for love!
Yeah, I had heard that one before too, but oddly I kept coming back to that idea over and over and I didn't know why.
It's odd because I never felt unloved. I have a terrific husband and a very supportive family. I am loved. So what does love have to do with all those extra pounds? I wasn't fat because I was substituting food for love. Ridiculous!
It wasn't until I took a good long look at myself in the mirror that I realized something that really rattled me. I didn't like the way my belly fat hung over my jeans. I didn't like the look of my chubby thighs or extra chins.
But it was the disdain in my eyes reflected back to me that really shook me.I didn't love me! I was eating to compensate for my lack of self-respect and self-love.
Ironically it was taking control of my binge eating and learning some very powerful fat burning techniques and exercises to lose weight that finally made me love who I was.
The big surprise was:
I only needed to cut back and not give-up most of my favorite foods.Once I got started the results were self-evident and failure seemed more and more unlikely.The changes I made were enhancing my life;I never felt better. Maintaining is easy,enjoyable and this is clearly the fastest way to lose weight.
I can't possibly imagine every wanting to go back to the way things were.
