I know a lot of fat people. I doubt you’re one of them. I’m guessing, of course, since this blog is targeted toward the natural bodybuilder/athlete and not a blog I would assume someone with a weight problem would read. Nonetheless, if you are fat and you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome! Maybe you’ll stick around, learn a little, and make some positive changes in your life. This post may offend you but let’s face it, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.
Like I said, my assumption is that most of you reading this blog are not “fat” so to speak, but maybe you’re not in the shape you’d like to be in either (shit, who is). Below are 23 reasons why you are fat not as lean you you could be.
- Eating too much (I could probably stop right there and make that the one and only reason!)
- Eating the wrong foods
- Eating fast food way too often
- Skipping breakfast
- Not exercising
- Lying around all day doing nothing
- Doing too much cardio and not enough weight training
- Eating only once or twice a day
- Eating too many carbs
- Jumping on the latest diet craze bandwagon
- Drinking too much soda
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Snacking on sweets between meals
- Lacking self-control
- Not knowing HOW to make healthy choices
- Ordering dessert far too often
- Keeping a candy jar at your desk
- Making excuses
- Not caring about your body
- Giving up
- Accepting that this is the way you are and that you can’t change
- Eating too many processed foods
- Thinking that you have to give up foods you like forever
Many of these can be grouped together. I realize that. Do any of these ring true for you? Any I’m leaving out?
Stay tuned for some helpful tips to avoiding these fat traps and losing the lard!
