| Would you take tennis lessons from someone who didn’t know how to play tennis? Or golf lessons from a person who took 150 strokes to play 18 holes? Or take swimming lessons from someone who couldn’t swim? Of course not. Then why are you taking lessons in dieting from fat people? That’s right. A lot of the people who are telling you how to be thin are fat. Have you looked at the pictures of some of those people? They are an embarrassment. Some of them hold important positions with major universities. Some of them appear on television. Some of them lecture and some of the write books. Some of them conduct surveys about how other people have “lost” a lot of weight. Some of them run ads on the internet all the time advertising their secret methods for becoming thin. However, if you will strip away all the veneer and clever conversation and look at theM closely you will see that they are overweight. You can see that they weigh too much but you are so desperate to weigh less that you will pretty much listen to anyone who promises you that you can permanently weigh 50 pounds less. But think about it. If they can’t control their weight why should you listen to them? If they are fat what gives them the right to tell you how to be thin? Fat people shouldn’t give lectures to other people on how to become thin when it is something they have been unable to achieve for themselves. Everyone has read the story about the well known “diet – doctor” who was 50 pounds overweight when he died. His profit making company denied it but if you saw his last television interview it was quite clear that he was overweight. The simple fact is that those people are the functional equivalent of false prophets. Fat people trying to preach to other fat people about being thin are just a joke. They have no right to lecture you and you shouldn’t be listening to them. The reason they weigh too much is the same reason you weigh too much. If you weigh 200 or 250 pounds you have become emotionally comfortable at that weight. That’s right – “emotionally comfortable”. The overweight experts who are lecturing you are also emotionally comfortable weighing what they do. |
