I love the fact that the new year brings out everyone and their resolutions. Nothing makes me laugh more than those who are making "big changes"... like losing weight. Come on now people, we all know that if we rewind back a year, this same thing was being said then! Seriously, what now? You have gained at least 5 lbs since last year, if not more, and you are really thinking that taking that same exact approach is going to definitely make the changes you need this time around? "I'm going to hit the gym every night and I am going to lose xx-lbs by such and such a date..." Do yourself a favor and CANCEL the damn gym membership now if you already signed up and save yourself a couple of hundred dollars!! You will be the person in 6 months complaining you have no money...
We both know that it takes way more than a few classes at a local gym or a few miles on a treadmill to lose the weight. I can see it now.. a few days or maybe even weeks of posts. Something comes up, you miss a night or two of gym time. Then, boom, you or your kid gets sick.. and you miss about a week of gym time. Now, you know you could have went to the gym after day 3 of being sick, but you didn't feel up to it. So you blame your sickness on the fact that you have to miss and by the end of 2 weeks of you missing gym... you decide it wasn't really for you in the first place. You might convince yourself to go once or twice again when the guilt of the monthly debit comes out of your account to pay for your membership, but at this point, you say SCREW IT!!
Turn on just about any tv channel and at any point of day you will see all of these "instant" fixes for weight loss. Seriously, if these worked so well, why do they need to sell them still, obviously everyone would be skinny and these companies would be put out of business!!! Look thru any sales flyer right now and each and every store is selling something to do with getting fit: dvds, exercise equipment, etc.
These products only work if you use them. Let's be honest with each other, you will buy them and put them in for about 2 weeks and then be done with it (see above reasons why). But in the long run, hey it was definitely cheaper for the $20 dvd than the $200 gym membership!!
If you really want to lose weight... put some thoughts into what exactly you eat and do all day. Watch a show like The Biggest Loser or I Used to Be Fat and see that it takes hardcore training and major dietary changes to actual drop weight and keep it off. Put yourself into it 100%!! You can do it, if you do it right!
Good luck :)
your a mess lmao
