Lead story on Yahoo today - "20 Habits Making You Fat".
Really???
That's just what I need - a list of "fat behaviors" to read through. One of two things happen when I read these evil "lets get healthy, it's easy" articles. 1.) I think to myself "I do that, I do that too, oh no, I've done this to myself" or 2.) I read the article only to say "This isn't me, I don't do any of those things".
Either I come away from those articles convinced that my weight problem is of my own doing and that I'm a medley of unhealthy behaviors, or convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the article has nothing to do with me, and I'm even more confused and frustrated about my weight than I was to begin with - after all, if I don't do the "fat behaviors", I shouldn't be fat, right???
Long story short, I need to stay away from those articles! I know what unhealthy behaviors are, and I'm pretty sure, using my deductive reasoning skills, that I can figure out what healthier alternatives would be.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Don't choose white bread. Drink lots of water. Exercise. Portion control.
Duh!
These articles make it sound like if you cut out the "fat behaviors" you won't be fat anymore. Oh, if only that were true, I'd weigh 90 pounds and be on a feeding tube!
*Sigh*
Sounds so easy, right?
