One thing that’s true about writing is that you don’t burn a lot of calories doing it. I’ve had a decent summer of writing, but I haven’t been very active and what that translates into is that there’s now about twenty pounds more of me. Considering there was already about sixty pounds too much of me before this, that’s not good.
Of course, society is brimming with solutions, from weight loss supplements to diet programs to exercise videos and more. There’s even a TV show, The Biggest Loser, about America’s battle with waistlines.
Trouble is, so many people seem to think that if they’re a little bit cruel to be kind, calling you fat or commenting on your weight, that this will somehow motivate you to lose weight. Might help some folks; doesn’t work on me.
Personally, I am quite honest with myself. I know what I’ve eaten and overeaten to get me where I am. I know what I need to do to lose it again: eat less and exercise more.
It’s that simple. Which means I am without excuse. I either need to do what’s necessary, or stop complaining.
