Now I want you to click on webpage Strip That Fat and after signing up immediately for their highly realistic and cost effective diet program, I want to you to spend the next hour or so reading all the brilliant Strip That Fat information on the site.  When you have finished reading, I want you to weigh yourself again and see how much weight you’ve lost (lol)

My point being that you cannot get ‘weight loss help online’, you can only get ‘weight loss help from brain’. You can flit from diet to diet, from one instant fix to another until you have a veritable mountain of diets, recipes, printouts, books, videos, podcasts, mp3 downloads. Your house or apartment has actually gained weight.

NONE of these products, in themselves, actually helped you lose weight. How could they for they are only words and we all know that it is ‘actions’ that count.  I was going to say that words are cheap but that’s not necessarily the case with some weight loss products.  All this ‘weight loss help online’ did was ‘arrive’ at your place via download or mail. That information either galvanised YOU into doing something about losing weight or it now lies in a drawer somewhere, gathering dust while you search out the next quick fix idea.

The moral of this post is that; it is totally pointless to search for something unless you really want to find it! When you find what you are searching for, ie: a diet program, you just HAVE TO DO SOMETHING with it.  It is almost bordering on criminal (OK, not really) to waste some of ‘Your God’s’ given life looking for something that, once found, just lays there with a few dog-eared pages, looking at you, doing nothing.

So it is with ‘weight loss help online’. If you don’t tell your brain, to make you use the information you just found, you paid a massive price as you just gave away a small amount of your life, for nothing.

OK, so everything today has a ‘tag’ on it, whether it is a ‘price to pay’, an indicator of importance, a description or even the criminal, more and more excused punishment these days to carry on criminal activity, after agreeing to wear an electronic ‘tag’.

There’s another type of ‘tag’ that’s extremely hurtful and that is the tag of ‘fat ridicule‘ and that can take the target down from a great distance, whether it be the playful aside or confrontational bullying. If you are ‘tagged’, you are a target figure and no matter how much you are able to rise above it, kid yourself that it doesn’t matter, ridicule, in it’s major or minor forms, hurts big time!

There was a story going around some years ago, of the lady who saw herself as a ’star’ performer at a friends’ dinner gathering. Yes she was still overweight but felt she had to explain in great detail over dinner, the lengths she had gone to and the cost involved, to lose 18 lbs over 2 years. (that’s around 8kgs for those that have metric fat)  What this lady had not realised was that she was on a personal high of self-justification.  All the patronisingly polite ooohs and aaaghs that greeted her every diet, exercise and surgical operation descriptions were probably ways to disguise their yawning at the boredom of it all.  Some might say there’s a parallel in the golfing bore who details the color and texture of the blade of grass that prevented his hole in 8

Everyone instinctively ‘admires’ those that lose weight sensibly. (the ’sensibly’ bit is stressed)  We admire without hesitation, as the proof of the pudding (so to speak) is what stands in front of us.

If you have lost weight, it shows!  It shows in your talk, your walk, your confidence and self-esteem. The effect is very much that of a desert flower blossoming again as rain falls after a long hot drought.

Instances arise when we are stripped bare of our clothed defences. Whether it is preparatory to lovemaking, bathing, beach lounging or just changing, we see ourself.   We have possibly three options (1) admire our-self, what we are or what we have physically achieved, (2) kid our-self or, (3) shudder.

This author tends to ‘kid him-self’ as most males do but the layers of fat are there and it isn’t a pretty sight.

It is deliberate to put the hyphens in to separate out the ’self ‘ as that is of critical importance.

The ’self’ is generally acknowledged to be the deep rooted perception we have of our-self. The ’self’ is our ‘identity’ in life and holds the keys to our mental survival.  We’ll leave it to the psychologists to go deeper BUT if we see our-self as weak, submissive, that is what we become…if we see ourselves as a fighter who will not give up, that is what we become.

If we are ridiculed, no matter if given with bantering love we mentally bleed deeply and it is in the private ‘me’ times that the cuts hurt most.  So it is with too much fat on us, each ‘layer’ measured in a degree of sadness.

If we see ‘our-self’ as overweight, then in our own mind we have lost some of our ‘personal identity’ and that is the cruellest cut of all.  So we have to strip that fat and remove the layers that weigh our lives down.

The trick is not to see our-self as permanently overweight but to see the ‘now’ as a temporary phase, to be succeeded by ‘improvement’ and improvement we can make, big time.

This site is dedicated to long-term advice and discussion of a subject very dear to my heart! (know where I’m coming from?)

This is to be a site for ‘weighty matters’.  The ‘credit crunch’ is affecting bad enough but credit crunches will come and go.

There is a far more insidious malaise that may come out of this financial fiasco. Our overweight population.

It could be argued that we will eat less as we will not be able to maintain the high life we are supposedly leading but that isn’t so, is it?   Most of us (fat cats excluded) have been too busy working our butt off, to survive let alone live the high life.  As the income and debts rise and trauma hits town by way of anxiety and depression, we will comfort eat on food that increases weight and this is very bad news.

2/3rd (66%) of Americans are overweight with the likes of UK & Europe not too far behind.

Being ‘tagged’ for our fat layers is not good. This site is dedicated to strip that fat tag of it’s bite.
