Fitness Is Cool, Fat Is Not
Author: Christopher C.  | Posted: 25-10-2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 70 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
Thank goodness the world is changing.
Because we were at a point, not too long ago, that being fit was "not cool."
You were a "weirdo" if you cared about how you looked, what you ate, and how much should you exercise in a day.
Thankfully, it is now "cool" to be fit and stay in shape.
And it should stay that way.......forever.
Unfortunately, while being "fit" is becoming cool and popular, people are becoming increasingly fatter.
Now, that doesn't make sense, does it?
Didn't think so.
While being "cool" is all well and good, you also need many more traits in order to be fit.
Namely:
-Discipline
-Consistency
-Assertiveness
-Independence
Among other things.
To my amazement, so many people think it's "cool" to smoke, use illegal drugs, eat fatty foods all day, and never get off of their butt and exercise.
Last time I checked, it wasn't real "cool" to get emphysema, lung disease, depression, diabetes, and various other illnesses.
Yet, there is a very high probability that you will develop these (and others), if you continue to do all of these "cool" things.
And doing these things all but guarantees that you are heading down the path of being fat, lazy, and unsuccessful.
Would you like to learn how to be so out of shape that you can't even walk the stairs in your house without getting out of breath?
Or how about the ability to feel sick and nauseated after a walk around your neighborhood?
Or how about the ability to get injured and pull your muscles while playing a pickup basketball game?
Better yet, would you like to learn how to be confined to your house, depressed, and not motivated to get in shape?
Well, then.... I'm sure all of that smoking, drug use (especially teen drug use), and horrible diet that you have been eating contributed to about 99.954974613161% of your problems.
Doesn't sound too "cool" does it?
Didn't think so.
So, how can we solve all of your health/fitness problems together?
Well, first of all, let's cut off your high sugar and high fat foods.
Then, let's add some lean protein, fiber, and of course, a healthy dose of fruits and vegetables.
Let's also start implementing an exercise program, no matter how much or how little it is to start.
Now, all of this is all well and good, but if you don't do this ONE THING, you will never see the ultimate success you are looking for.
Want to know what that one thing is?
CONSISTENCY.
Yep, you will never see ultimate success until you consistently do the right thing.
Let's start focusing on things like: How much you should exercise in a day.
Start off small, and let's work on changing all of the bad habits in your life so you can be the person you've always wanted to be.
Let's do this together, and let's do this consistently.
Then, and only then, will you reach all of the goals and dreams that you've always wanted.
Now that is "cool".
What's even "cooler" is all of the information I have for you at http://www.fitnesswithchris.com that will help you become fit and healthy.
I'll talk to you soon.

If I have gained weight and want to lose it what is the best way for me to find support for that?
