Why are you so fat?

Why are you fat? This is a question most fat people are able to answer but are really shying away from the fact that their quest to lose some weight if you are interested, will not see the light until they identify why they are fat in the first instance and then work to avoid all the identified reasons. Right from the beginning, a lot of fat people do not want to accept that they are fat and usually gets angry if anyone makes an observation or starts calling them names, well as you can see there is no hiding place for a fat person.

The thing is, when you finally admit that you are fat, do you just say ‘okay, I know am fat and there is nothing I can do about it and then continue to eat and eat without giving a damn about what people say or your health, or do you take up the challenge and start doing something about it?


So why are you fat?


Usually a lot of fat victims make excuses like “I eat at wrong times of the day, at the wrong quantities. I have 3 kids; I run a business that takes away all the time and could have exercised. Between the business and my three kids’ daily activities at school that I volunteer at,I really don't find the time to make sure I eat right or cook the right food blah blah blah.
But I make sure my children eat well though. While they're eating, It is either that I'm cleaning, or getting ready, or cleaning up spilt milk, etc. Sometimes I miss meals, when it is time for me to eat; I eat it really big because I am really very hungry by then. I know what I am doing is wrong but what do I do because I am really helpless?” Well I can say such person is not helpless but very good at giving excuses.


Others may come up with stories like stories; “I don't drink enough fluids, when I do, its usually coffee, but I gag on water, I've tried checking this myself, and I am almost succeeding, I'm down to a coke every other day, and that is about 4 bottles a week, instead of everyday, though I still have my coffee. But now I'm up to two bottles of water a day....however, either way, still not enough fluids at all right?” Wait a minute, did you just say you gag on water but don't gag on coke or coffee well you must be kidding, are they not both liquids or is it because one is so sweet and sugary and the other is just plain and tasteless. All I can say is that heaven help those that help themselves.


Some people have failed to realise that enough fluid is alright but not when the fluid is coffee and coke. A bottle of coke is said to contain about 8 cubes of sugar and coffee doesn’t just contain caffeine that affects your nerves when you grow older but also increases your cholesterol level and this doesn’t matter whether it is decaff or not.

Another excuse people give themselves. “I was too busy working and wasn’t eating enough then I became anemic. I wouldn't be if I was eating properly. If I really wanted to eat well I could probably have worked out a schedule to make sure I eat the right things at the right times. Now the doctor wants me to eat more but I am now fat trying to do what the doctor said. I have tried to cut out the soda, and focus more on water, and I do some light walking as I was not supposed to get involved in very strenuous physical activities as at then. How do I loss weight without becoming anemic again?” This is just a funny excuse because at first you complained you were too busy working and wasn't eating enough but now you are so fat trying to do what the doctor said, but how come you grew so fat now, is it because you had to create time to eat or your only ate what you felt would be best for you or will I say you created time to eat what the the Doctor never told you to eat. Please do me a favour and save the sermon for another day.


Whatever is your excuse or ‘reason’ you need to start knowing that excuses will only worsen your health status. So knock if off! You will not get better with excuses. Take the responsibility for your own health. Stop blaming the doctor, your kids or your job. It is all about you being a little bit more vigilant and determined to save your own life and believe it or not with all these excuses, you will begin to eat emotionally, stuffing a lot of chocolate, binging at any opportunity.

Seeking solace in food is the worst thing you can do for your mode. Exercises will put you in a better frame of mind and will also make you look very fit and fabulous so my advice is, exercise more and eat less.
