One FAT Propaganda, Post Holiday Myth


As an Intuitive/Psychic I get cranky when I see corporations trying to pull the wool over our heads.

One of the biggest forms of propaganda perpetrated and BELIEVED is that we actually get fat due to holiday overeating. Did you know that's actually not true?
So here is the issue closer to the truth. Chances are that if you feel you got "fat" over the holidays but your fitness issues preceded any specific holiday. 

It is fair to say that during any holiday season overeating eating can result from the availability of so much for food due to: 
a) events and family gatherings, 
b) expectations to eat more, and
c) permission we give ourselves to over-indulge. It's natural for us to obviously do gain some weight. 

However, here is the key...it usually isn't a significantly amount weight. It's usually a few ounces not pounds. So if you do gain tons of weight in a short period of time, I would suggest you consult with a health professional and see what could be happening to cause this.  

Have you noticed the huge increase in weight loss advertisements right at the turn of the New Year? I noted commercial after commercial from weight loss program after weight loss program telling us not to fret from holiday weight gain and try their product or service. Now, what is one of the most common New Year's resolution? You got it...losing weight. So what a coincidence that we are being bombarded by these weight loss ads.

If you want to be fit and healthy and being healthy includes losing weight, think if whether you want this to be a permanent process instead of yet another failed attempt so many of us have experienced. Nothing can be more discouraging than yet another try at weight loss just to gain it back and gain even more. So we must be doing something wrong and hence there must be a better way.

The better way is to be honest with yourself. LOVE yourself regardless of your weight right now, learn the truth about weight loss by doing some serious research on what really works and doesn't work. 

From my personal experience and my own research what your intentions are and what strategy you use to lose the initial weight makes a big difference. There are people who have lost weight and kept it off for years. What makes them successful? You will find that the people who have lost weight and kept it off have certain things in common. What are those things...?

  • They have decided to love themselves from deep inside. that means being honest at to the reasons they gained weight in the first place.
  • They did research on their own reasons for gaining weight. Is it a medical condition or do you have a genetic predisposition?, Is it a psychological reason that translates into behaviors that are unhealthy like self-soothing by overeating. Or is it depression? Is it lack of physical movement and eating more than your body can burn off? 
  • They have the determination to move forward despite any challenges, set backs or lack of support.
  • They are willing to learn and break free from myths. One of those myths means being on a "diet". Diet implies temporary. But diet isn't necessarily temporary. It means what you eat, how you eat and frequency of eating. I can't believe how many people still say diet with the wrong definition of the word. Don't be one of them. You want ongoing health, right? So that means making lifestyle changes that you can enjoy, live with and have success at.  
  • They participate in physical activity, aka workouts that work for them. It does NOT have to be at a gym. So whether at a gym, home workouts or other way of moving your body in a way that is defined as "exercise", let it be something you can actually incorporate in to your life permanently and even enjoy. 
  • They workout and exercise correctly. One of the biggest mistakes people make is working out the wrong way. There is no excuse with all the resources out there right now. Books, magazines, social media, websites, and an effective personal trainer--see below for my trainer's info.
Special note about personal trainers: I lost weight in 1994 and managed to keep it off despite many health issues and challenges. But I got into a plateau due to various reasons and it was necessary for me to up the ante and use a trainer. The trainer is still my trainer 7 years later. I do a combination of strength training, cardio, correct eating and continued adjustment of all of these thanks to my trainers professionalism.
