Same Variables, Different Results

-

"Stop giving same variables expecting different results."

The third day of January, my birthday, I want to face my fear. My fear of how others will feel about my failings.

You see, I'm pretty insecure. Better than before, but I still struggle daily. I need to confront my fears. I need to stop running from this Dragon and finally face it down. I need to reveal the ugly lizard casting large shadows for what it really is!

I know my words aren't for everyone. They might not work for every person coming across them. But my words are not for those people. We are not all assembly line creations. There's no one size fits all.

My words are for who they work for. Distilling my message to satisfy imaginary critics diminishes the chances it will actually help someone. But hiding words in order to appease people who might not exist, I'm robbing the people who might actually need to hear them.

I know these words help people. I've seen it first hand. By restricting them, I restrict the life and love I can give to others.

So I was watching Fit to Fat to Fat Ep 4 today and I got to admit. In the beginning I did not like the trainer. He embodied the stereotype of why I didn't get into fitness. Or that's the story I tell myself. Alexander Delacruz is a weight loss dietitian from Los Angeles and man alive, he put me off immediately. I mean, I've seen 3 of the shows so far and I love the series but I was about to turn the TV off and go do something more productive with my life instead of listening to this jerk.

You don't need to know Rocket Science to lose weight. Of course, it helps to become knowledgeable in nutrition if you want to go far. But if you're just looking to lose 20 pounds, it's pretty easy. Eat Less Do More ZenHabit's summed it up even better in this article . A diet is healthy when it: gives your body nutrients it needs, without giving you too many calories (too many calories leads to obesity over time), or unhealthy things (like too much saturated or trans fat, nitrates, excess sodium, unhealthy chemicals). It's that easy... in the beginning. Of course the next natural questions are How many calories should I consume daily? What nutrients do my body need? Great news! There are apps for that. I use MyFitnessPal. Another great one is LoseIt. They are both free and help you track calories and nutrients. Of course, they only work if you use them.
