Yesterday I was on yahoo news and I read that this trainer was becoming obese so he could understand what it was like to lose weight. I guess he has always been fit or whatever and so he thinks if he gets fat then he could understand how hard losing weight is.
This really bothers me because I don’t understand why people are always trying to understand overweight people. Why are overweight people so interesting to the world? Like when they do a show about a skinny person in a fat suit. They want to know what it is like to be fat for a day. So they can say they understand how overweight people feel. Understand my foot!!
Hell yea it is hard to lose weight if it wasn’t then we would all be skinny and fit and do you think people become overweight on purpose? I am going with NO! I didn’t plan on being overweight, not something you plan it just something that happens over the years.
What this trainer doesn’t realize that it not about losing the weight it about saying no to the food. People out there have an addiction to food and if they could stop eating they would. That is not the case with all people but most of them.
I let life get away from me and I forget to eat and then I eat whatever is around me and sometimes it not healthy. I don’t sit around and eat all day and gorge myself, before I became pregnant I would go to the gym, walk and do Zumba. Right now I am enjoying being pregnant and I am eating pretty much what I want and guess what I haven’t gained any weight!! I have every plan to get back in the grove of things and going back to the gym and eating better after she is born.
The point of this blog is, how about trying to get to know the person based on the person not because they are overweight and you want to know why they are or you want to prove to yourself you could lose the weight or whatever. Hopefully this trainer will get his understanding he is looking for and it will make him a better trainer.
