Okay, so my last post, with all the “tips” might’ve been a little bit exaggerated.
The truth is: we can eat a lot of really great and healthy foods, and still pack on the lbs. Just from doing a small portion of what I included on that list.
IE: A person who’s generally eating fairly well (including consuming a lot of fresh vegetables in their diet and fiber) can still pile on unnecessary weight by adding some processed or pre-packaged foods, or sugary coffee drinks. Or by comsuming too many glasses of wine with dinner.
That’s part of the problem of saying we’re “trying” to lose weight but “nothing works”. Yeah right, give me a big FAT break. There’s “trying” and then there’s “doing”. And it’s so easy to lie to ourselves or ignore the real effects of what we’re puting into our bodies. (By pretending the healthy stuff that we’re eating is better than it is, or that the unhealthy stuff isn’t as bad as it really is.)
I’m not trying to be a condescending bitch. This is a really common problem. And the worst part is that this is a perception problem that blocks people from acheiving what they say they want and that they “wish” they could acheive.
Well, they could. You could!
Changing your body means changing what you do with that body, how you treat it, what you put in it, and what conditions you expose it to. It’s yours. And you get to choose. Unless you have a medical condition, or other extenuating limitations, if you feed your body well (genuinely well) and give it activity it will respond. It’ s just a fact. And I’m not just blowing smoke up your ass – I’m using myself here as the example of how it’s not really as complicated and mysterious as it’s made out to be. The “complications” are really just illusions and errors of perception.

Errors of perception – I so agree with you on that.
I’ve also got a full-blown-out body and need a “fat-break”!
