If you have been following my story you will know that 2 years ago I tried laser therapy weight-loss. Just so you know, it did work. It was a quick fix. It is however costly. I paid over $2000 at the time and it does reduce inches.
I wanted a quick, easy, painless solution. I wanted to beam it off my body like having a sci-fi experience of some type. Seriously, who wouldn't want that? That is why people go get their stomachs stapled and others opt for sucking out their fat. It seams easier than the alternative which is hard work. Nobody wants that program. Yuck. Exercise? Stop eating food I love? Stop drinking my calories? Who is signing up for that?
I guess people do sign up for that. Weight-loss centers around the world make money off us as we come in to buy the pills, buy the food, take the programs, and so on. The reality is, we do take it off if we use some of these things. We also can do it ourselves if we apply some hard work and actually exercise. The thing is though, we are not keeping it off.
I took off more than 20 pounds back in 2015 but I gained it back. I also gained an extra 30 just to be sure it stuck.
Recently I started examining why.
Apparently it is my habits. I have many of them. Most of them are bad.
I have had the habit of not exercising. I did not like it actually. I would even cringe at the mere thought of it. It seemed more distasteful than anything, except maybe eating properly. That was also distasteful... quite literally.
Rael Kalley is my habits coach and he started getting me to look at my habits. This is what they look like:
- I like to sleep until it is time to rush in the morning.
- I don't like to exercise at all. I hate all exercise equally. I don't even enjoy watching others do it. I don't watch sports. I think it is a waste of time and money.
- I like to eat no breakfast at all and then when I am starving for lunch I like to overeat heavy calorie foods with lots of fat. My favorite is sour cream. I prefer to smother most of my food in it.
- I eat in a restaurant several times a week. I like to put whatever I want into my mouth and savor the delicious food that my tongue wants and I don't usually care what my body has to deal with later.
- Fruit seems cold to me. I don't like it.
- Veggies seem too good for me. I don't like them.
- I don't like to drink water. It is too wet.
- I do like to drink coffee. I obviously need something to keep me going. I particularly love to drink Starbucks lattes. Especially pumpkin spice and other decadent 400+ calorie drinks.
- I don't like pop or sugary drinks. Thank God, I have one good thing going for me.
- I don't take the stairs. Those are for skinny people. I secretly am suspicious of skinny people. They are just way too skinny.
- My days are spent in restaurants and coffee shops.
- I come home and spend a few hours on the computer in a sitting position doing the marketing that I did not get done while at work.
- I like to overwork at work and then at the end of the day I lay around.
- I eat a home cooked meal twice a week. It is usually something delicious and high-calorie. I have several favorites like perogies smothered in sour cream or pasta with cream sauce. Mmmm mmm
- I like to watch TV at night and it is even better if I am eating chips with onion dip and a yummy craft beer.
How could I possibly gain weight on those habits?
I just want a quick fix, I don't want a long-term commitment. Apparently I have to change the way I think.
Life is not fair.
Go ahead and vent below. Tell me why life is not fair, and it is not your fault. We can agree together and support one another in our bad habits just for right now. Later I will tell you how I am overcoming these habits but for now, go ahead and wallow in it and get it off your chest.
