brutal truth

Well I figure I should update this thing.

have lost 53 lbs.

Still.

Its been well over a year since I lost the first 30, and then dropped 23 more.

So, to all those people who say people lose weight and then gain it back, you are wrong.

Its true that if you do some fad diet, pill, shot etc, that you will gain it all back unless you intend to live your entire life like that.

Which you won't.

But if you lose weight the right way, the ONLY right way, it will stay off.

I pinky promise.

I love my new body, most days. lol.

I am still a girl, and we have those days where we think nothing looks good, you will always have those I learned. Its ok :)

There are many different variables to losing weight.

sooo many.

BUT the biggest and most import thing/concept is to burn more calories then you consume.

Period.

end of story.

I once read something when someone was talking about Nutrisystem and other diet programs where you buy their food. Someone asked what the key behind those programs were and they said," Nurtrisystem is a 1300 calorie diet. Nothing else to see there."

It is true. Those programs are just based on calories, there is no special drug in their food, no secret vitamin that you can only get from them.

They simply give you meals that will total 1300 calories.

You can freaking do that yourself for cheaper and yummier.

Their food is frozen, processed, not fresh and really fake tasting. I know you know that.

So its simple.

If you burn 1500 cals a day, but eat 2300 cals a day, you will gain weight. Get over it.

I am not going to sit here and pity you or say sorry to you, cause its your own fault. You made yourself fat, so make yourself unfat.

I did.

I made myself fat, years and years of making myself fat.

and I made myself unfat. With no pity, no sorrys from people. With hard work, education and motivation.

So what do you do?

You count your freaking calories.

You have a bank account right? You make withdraws, you add to it and you make purchases.

Do you keep track of it?

Well, if you are smart you do.

If you only have a 100$ to spend, are you going to go and spend 150$?

I hope not.

Calories are the same way while losing weight. You have a set amount each day you can eat based on your burn, and you keep track of it.

BE A FREAKING ADULT.

There is no easy way to lose weight.

There is no pill

no injection

no video game

no frozen food meal

no device

that will make you lose weight healthy, and for good.

For those of you who are worried about what your body will look like after losing weight, as in saggy skin etc, Do it the right way and it will look great.

If you lose weight too fast, like the people on Biggest Loser, you will get saggy skin and it will look gross.

sorry.

but if you lose it the right way, slowly, about 3 lbs a week, the elasticity in your skin has time to retract and make your skin tight.

I promise. :)

sigh.

Sorry if this post seems harsh, I am just so tired of hearing people trying and talking about things to lose way the "Easy way"

There is no such thing.
