How do you know what you know…

…if you don’t really know WHAT you know (ya know?!)

I am on a quest for the truth. The truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God. It’s TRUE! I once was over 330 lbs and spent most of my time wasting time, money, energy and effort on ‘gimmicks’ that I never realized were actually ‘gimmicks’. I believed that what they were offering me was a way to lose ‘the weight.’ I didn’t know when I was going to these big weight-loss centers, and trust me I have tried them all (Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Lindora, WeightWatchers), and even gastric bypass! that the truth was – they were keeping me amp’d up on their goods merely so I’d just continue on their product. Whether or not I lost a pound had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I showed some initial weight-loss but really each place was teaching my body to KEEP THE FREAKIN WEIGHT ON! What kind of perfectly LEGAL YET unethical behavior is that? No wonder there is an epidemic in this country! And worse yet these programs are so convincing to the consumer that you don’t even realize that you are only keeping fat and losing muscle. SAY WHAT? Muscle is what burns the freakin fat man! The worst part is it the “DIET INDUSTRY” that keeps us chained to the scale. We all have fallen victim to this dastardly monster who calls out to you in your bathroom, in the doctor’s office, and yes, even at the amusement park. Those PUNKS!

What I know now is that in reality the scale is only a partial factor in your ultimate fitness. Amen to that! Anytime you are in a program where you can only ‘lose weight’ while you are ‘on the program’ then that ain’t it, kids! So the truth is… Now we know, ya know.
