I know money is hard to come by these days and I am offended at what some people charge for their personal development information.  There are many in this business who will sell you much less than I am offering for hundreds of dollars per month.  That is just WRONG!I told you when I first started talking about this idea that I would keep it cheap and I have.  The price is $14.95 per month OR $99.00 for a twelve month subscription.  That comes to only $8.25 per month when you buy the one year subscription.I promise you that I will give you such deep discounts on my products that you will save that many times over!  In fact, in the very first month, I am offering a package of 6 of my various CDs that in the past has sold for $79.95, and you are going to get it for $39.95 plus shipping and handling!  There are ONLY 100 of these left so you have to hurry to get this special.  AND, this special is only available to members of the Truth Be Told member’s only program.  You cannot buy this program at this price unless you join the TBT Members Only Ezine.   Specials like that will be offered every month - I promise!

FAT FAT FAT - DISGUSTINGLY FAT.

August 5, 2008 | 41 Comments

 

I have said for years that I only have two prejudices:  stupid and fat.  Those are my only two because those two are choices.  Don’t argue with me, they are choices.  Stupidity is a choice:  read a book!    As for FAT:  don’t whine glandular problems ’cause that ain’t the case!  Less than one out of a thousand can even remotely use that as an excuse.  And don’t blame your genes: chances are that you haven’t fit in your jeans for years!  People are fat by choice!  Period.  Did you ever eat anything by accident?  No, you chose to eat it.  No one held a gun to your head.  You went to the store, put it in your basket, paid for it, cooked it and stuffed your face with it.  You went to the restaurant and chose it from the menu and paid to eat it.  Your choices made you fat – nothing else.

 

Now that I have properly offended a good number of you reading this, let’s move on to one of my points:  a new study that came out just this week says that if Americans continue eating the way they are now and maintaining their sedentary lifestyle, that in twenty years, 86% of our society will be obese.  Argue with me all you want folks.  Say I am wrong and unfair and have a heart of stone.  But you are killing yourselves.  Not with a knife or gun but with a knife and fork.  People are eating their eyes closed!

 

Here is the second point of this rant:  Food Portions.  Just this morning, I went to a restaurant for breakfast.  I ordered a short stack (two pancakes.)  Seemed like a reasonable breakfast.  The short stack was short, only about an inch high but the pancakes were bigger than the ten inch plate they were served on.  They had enough butter on top to lather up a fat boy at the beach.  Sadly, most people would ooh and ah and talk about what a great place this breakfast restaurant was for that reason alone.  In fact, it is lauded to be one of San Diego’s best places to eat breakfast.  Yet I always wonder whether restaurants are being praised for the quality of their food or for the quantity?  Seems like in America, for a restaurant to be considered good, it has to serve ginormous portions – to hell with quality.  My wife and I ate at a popular Italian restaurant recently that everyone said was just the best place ever!  When they delivered our food, there must have been 10,000 calories in front of us.  Seriously, there was enough food for 6 grown people.  My piece of lasagna was at least 8X8 and 4 inches thick; enough to serve four people alone.  It was disgusting.  It tasted okay but holy crap, what one person needs that much food?????   Yet, if they brought only enough food  to fill a person up or to be healthy, they would go out of business for being stingy and serving skimpy portions.  Instead they load you up with mediocrity and astound you with their huge portions.   I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world - no where does this happen except in Amercia.  In Europe, the focus is on how good the food is, how tasty it is, not about how much of it you can stack on a plate.  They don’t concern themselves with calories . . . yet Europeans aren’t fat like Americans.  Why?  Portion control.

 

Americans are idiots when it comes to food.  Not because of what we eat but because of how much we eat.  I am as guilty as anyone.  I  eat stuff that is bad for me.  I could also afford to lose ten pounds and be much better off.  Don’t think I am standing on my soap box preaching what I don’t need to hear myself.  I LOVE food.  I love food that is bad for me.  I love biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak and all things greasy.  I COULD eat it every meal and be happy.  Instead, I just try to eat it every once in a while to remind me of my roots and satisfy my grease cravings.  Even then, I try NOT to clean my plate but to just eat enough to get full.   Try that yourself - eat until you are full then push the plate away.  Ask the waiter to take the plate away.  Even if you only had two bites, if you are full, stop eating!!!

 

I could write much more on this but instead I am going to summarize:

 

1.      Don’t eat so much.  Eat whatever you want, but eat smaller quantities of it. 

2.      Judge restaurants by the quality of the food and not the quantity.

3.      Take care of yourself.  You have people who love you and people you love in return.  Live as long as you can so you can enjoy them.

4.  Try to burn more calories than you consume.  Take a friggin’ walk!!!!!!
