The Truth About Why You Are Still Fat Or Not Where You Want To Be Yet! #3

#3. You Don’t Know What a Treat Is

Treat definition: an event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure

You know the part about great pleasure. Chocolate tastes good. Wine goes down smooth. Nachos and wings are delicious. Cookies should be their own food group.

But you missed a part I think.

‘An event or item that is out of the ordinary’

~100 years ago you had cake on your birthday and maybe a family member or two. 

~70 years ago you had a milkshake a few times a year at the drugstore soda fountain. 

~20 years ago you ordered Chinese food (the nasty deep fried North American version) a couple times a year as a family or at a party.

Today is different. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY you are exposed to ‘treats’. Donuts and chocolate milk on the way home from your kids sporting events. Trays of cookies in the office lounge. Bags of chips in the cupboard.

Every. Single. Day.

That’s without dinners and events every weekend or birthday parties, anniversaries, baby showers, sports events, holidays, and the plethora of celebratory events.

‘Treats’ are something out of the ordinary. If it happens more than once a month it is no longer out of the ordinary. Stop saying treat. You aren’t having a treat.

It comes down to sacrifice and commitment, like we talked about earlier. Come on. You’re a grown ass adult making their own decisions. Don’t delude yourself in an attempt to justify the fact you are fully responsible for the shit you plow into your mouth.

You are just eating shit. And that’s fine. I don’t care. It’s your life. Don’t cry over the blubber hanging over your belt though.

***Note: Everything I've written about so far is the truth. And I don't write it to piss you off. I do it to fire you up. I do this for MYSELF too. I've been slacking horrible when it comes to food. So just know that I take what I write to heart myself and I'm changing my own ways.***
