| We need to continue to discuss how all the “experts’ are so terribly wrong about the “obesity epidemic”. Look it objectively. You weigh too much or you’re fat and so are hundreds of millions of other people. Everyone knows exactly how he or she got fat. More importantly, everyone knows exactly how to weigh less. It’s not a secret. This isn’t rocket science. Yet you, and hundreds of millions of others, are unable to weigh less. Doesn’t that sound absurd? You have a serious problem, one that you believe is ruining your life, and you know how to eliminate your problem but you can’t do it. If you say that sentence out loud it will sound funny. Funny? It will sound like a sick joke. You, and everyone else, know exactly what to do but are unable to do it. Isn’t that the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard? So what do you, and everyone else, do? You look around and you find that lots of people are ready to sell you lots of things to enable you to “lose weight”. Great. They are willing to take your money. What a surprise! They have diets, pills, herbs, and drugs, eating programs, meetings to attend and lots of other “solutions” to your problem. But wait a minute. You already know what to do. Why do you need to pay someone else money to tell you what you already know? Why? Because you recognize that it’s something you haven’t been able to do. You are out there searching for help. You want someone to help you “lose weight”. Why can’t you “lose weight” by yourself? Once you understand that you will understand why the odds of someone else enabling you to permanently weigh less are so small. After all, your problem is that you have put too much food in your mouth and you continue to do so. That’s it. That’s your only problem. Solve that and you can weigh whatever you want. You know it’s not a physical or medical problem. If you want to tell yourself the truth you will, sooner or later, admit that it is an emotional problem. No one wants to say that. It sounds ugly. Who wants to have an emotional problem? Certainly, not you. Anyway, you do. So how is someone else going to sell you anything that will cure your emotional problem? They probably aren’t and you probably are going to permanently “lose weight” no matter how much money you pay them. That’s the real issue. Everything else is just talk. Eliminate your emotional dependence on food and you become free. Think of it. Freedom from food. What a deal! And it doesn’t cost a penny. Then you will be able to weigh what you want to weigh. |
