Muscle Building, weight loss, diet: What is really holding you back from your fitness goals? (part 2)
Meet fat f_ _ k. He's the guy who has a box of Krispy Kremes on his desk at all times and needs a very large chair because his ass has its own zip-code. He gets charged for two seats on an airplane. Working out to him is being forced to park further away from the grocery store, which is not much of a workout, but no worries, he drinks diet coke and eats low fat foods (cookies, ice cream, cake, but what the hell, its low fat right?) The poor guy even blows hundreds of dollars a month on the latest fat-blocking, bodyfat shedding supplements- but none of them have worked-he's sure he'll find the right one any time. He even went so far as to purchase one of those spring-loaded ab machines that was guaranteed to to "build sculpted abs or your money back" .....didn't do a damn-thing (but what the hell for 12 easy payments of $19.95?) Fat F__k generally has good intentions to lose fat and has maybe even considered the benefits of a muscle-building program, but has found more reasons not to do these things in the form of excuses.: He is overweight because he has an office job (and because those dam-pills are just not working) and has triceps that flap in the wind because because his "rowflexmaster 2000" (which he hangs clothes on) just didn't produce the expected results. Fat f--k has tried everything short of putting in the work at the gym and following a sensible diet (the obvious solution to build muscle and loose fat). So what is our large friend to do if he wants his muscle-building and weight loss efforts to pay off? Two things: 1) exercise and diet - but this is secondary to the mindset that prevents him from actually doing this- which brings us to 2) a little muscle-building and weight loss therapy.....
What our swollen friend needs to do is find a comfortable place with a mirror, gaze into it and repeat the following:
"I, fat f--k am overweight because my diet sucks. I am fat because I am a lazy bastard. I am not 370 because of water retention, nor are my two chins the unfortunate result of a genetic defect.I do not need a pallet of bananas to avoid the cramping sensation I get from lack of blood flow in my legs. I am fat because I consider Krispy Kremes a meal. My "rowflexmaster2000" is not to blame for my complete lack of any discernible muscle tone- even if it did do a damn-thing I use it to hang clothes on... in a word I am a sloppy fat ass because I choose to be"
Of course this may seem harsh, but the painful slap of reality is exactly what our gluttonous friend needed- his problem, in a nutshell, is that for every perceptible shortcoming , he cannot lose fat because of......(any outside factor other than himself). In fact, we all have a little bit of this problem; how many times have you failed to achieve your goals to build muscle, lose fat, or get in shape??? You got far but just couldn't get there because.......
You don't need to be 200 lbs overweight to take heed from poor fat f--k's plight- all of us (including this author) need to be reminded every now and then of the one key to success in muscle building, weight loss/diet, fitness, athletics, etc (and anything in worth achieving in this life in general)...ACCOUNTABILITY. Take control of your muscle building or fat loss program by taking responsibility for your success, or more importantly, lack thereof. Only then can we break past that invisible barrier to success.
