Mental Musings

Don’t be such a Fatty…

So being fat really is your choice you know. Sounds harsh but it really is quite true, I assure you… I mean you *might* have a real physical disorder. But your Doctor can help with that. I’m really talking about the bulk of the obese or over-weight population, who really don’t know how to get out of the rut.

So, without sounding like an arrogant puss-wad, I have a close to perfect success rate with weight loss clients. The ones that didn’t meet their target, at the very least lost weight. The thing is; hypnosis aside (which engages the unconscious mind the facilitate the goal) it really isn’t that hard… and the hypnotherapy stalwarts may well hate me for saying so, and form a anti-matt militia to fuck me up.. but having never heard the expression as tough as a Hypnotherapist, I’m feeling good, I’ll get my Krav on :-)

If you are honest to yourself and know how. And part of that is accepting that what ever you are doing now is not working for you… Is it?

Method 1: The Parkour effect.
So when I wading knee deep in the awesomeness that is Parkour, the prevalent means of weight loss and fitness was; Eat well and train. That’s it. And it works perfectly. Look here & here. I mean that would do right, having that body would be none too shabby :-) So yeah, don’t eat shit and work out. Done… Maybe learn french to really carry it off.

Why does it work? Tracers (Parkour dudes) have a massive motivator for their weight loss. To be & last (Parkour motto). They looove moving their bodies and feeling life. Eating well lays the foundation to them living their dream. They would also be the first to tell you; they do not have the monopoly on feeling life and moving…

Now I know this method works, as it was intrinsic to my going from 115kg to 85kg. And sure, I’m not saying that Parkour is the only way. Soccer, Football, MMA, Running, Rock climbing, Pole dancing, Roller derby, Fencing and the list goes on… The body was built to be used. So use it. Get your metabolic rate humming! Feel life. Be happy. Live your life.

Shit food:
Yeah, so you really do know this already… But most still disregard it. You eat sugar and bad fats and you put on weight. Fast (white) carbs turn to glucose and smash your pancreas, which fucks you up and leads to diabetes, one of the fastest growing nasties in the west. I’m not really going to go into it here but check here out & here & here. Not rocket science. But seriously that Milo, TimTam, McDonalds, Ice cream, Coke will fuck you up… and if you are being good and having a treat day, ask yourself have you really earned it or are you just copping out?

Massive legend Dave Navarro once said that sugar is heroin…. and he is right (and if some how you don’t know who he is youtube three days by Jane’s Addiction, and thank me later). Sugar screws with your bodies natural ability to determine what it needs and if it is indeed hungary. Well Dave (who is 44 by the way) is half right… sugar and complex carbs are more addictive than cocaine.

Yeah but I can’t give up <insert bull shit here>:
Whatever you big dongle! Ummm.. you can. Dessert Eagle .50 at your face, could you give it up? Yeah you could (if the answer is no, invest in your future and book a private session with Dr. Phil, I wish you all the best in your life). What is your motivator? Longevity? Get your sexy back? Joining the Fire Brigade or Army? Keep up with the Grand kids? Fit into cloths? Get happy? Now, are they more important to you than giving up sugar? Too hard? Seriously? This happened recently. Imagine being involved in that, and you can’t give up sugar? Lie.  Your choice. Be weak or strong. I’m sure you are strong at other things, loosing weight is just something else you are going to be strong about. Get your Jedi on, you gorgeous thang :-)

Method 2, Enter the Ferriss:
Little Timmy Ferriss is a fucking legend. Just saying :-) If you jump over to his blog here, you’ll find a brilliant method of weight loss. Again a method I have followed and played with for a while now, and I know it works. Check it out. Again involves sticking to good food and staying with the same food groups. Oh and has days in the diet where you eat whatever the fuck you want. Sound good? Hope you like Mexican…

Don’t be a pig:
Another thing… put your fork down between mouth fulls, make sure it’s finished before you go and put more in… Just like Mum taught you. Thing is if you are shoveling food down your gob it engages the body’s “Oh crap we are having a famine” mode, so it stores fat real good then. Just throttle back turbo. Enjoy the food and your company… I mean look at the french, they hardly eat proper healthy food, but they eat it real slow, and have little obesity to show for it.

Relax Kojack!
It will not happen as fast as you you want…. even if it does in reality happen quick. You’ll want it now! Cool, but breathe… start small… Seriously, be kind to yourself. Use your mirror & tape measure (better than scales I think) and track your progress… and  involve friends, compete with them.

Oh and seriously clever person Prof. Richard Wiseman (huge fan!) says that a mirror in the kitchen will have a massive impact on reaching your goal… and blue plates too, the colour gives your mind the message not to be a porky pig.. who knew?

There is sooo much more I could go on with, but in all honestly… with all that info you can meet your target. And yes I have simplified it but really this is all you generally need. Seriously. Get sexy :-)

Big love, stay mental!
