Fix it

So how do you fix your diet, fix your life, get healthy and be your ideal weight?
Tall order for any diet
But this is it

The thing you gotta do is get your head round it, once you have your head in the right place anything is possible. Like not eating cheese.

Even if you like cheese, I can hear you saying, ‘but I like cheese!’
I know
I used to like cheese, at least I used to think I liked cheese.

There’s the rub

But let’s take a good look at all of it as it’s not just about the cheese
I like to eat, I have to eat
We all have to eat.

And the trouble with most of us is we like, no we love to eat a lot, and mostly we love to eat a lot of unhealthy things, let’s face it food is beautiful, and delicious and filling and good for us.

Most of the time anyway.

It’s when we lose control of our eating that the trouble starts and this is true for most of us, at least it’s true for me. I lost track of where in the distance past my dietary habits and eating patterns changed from normal to this serious weight and health problem. I don’t know what happened and I can’t see when. There seems to be no point in time, when I look back; where I can then pinpoint a moment and say ‘here is where it all went wrong’ – ‘here is where eating became a problem.’

We all look at our weight in Puzzlement and confusion ask ‘What the fuck happened?’

Where did I go wrong? I blame cheese.

So what in the hell did happen? It’s like the very thing we need to do to stay alive was hijacked somewhere along the way and turned into something that’s killing us. Laugh all you like, but that is exactly what happened. We all became addicts to the very thing that sustains our lives.

The cruellest addiction is food addiction because we really cannot live without food

We can’t just drop it forever and do a detox and never look back

If we don’t eat, we die.

So we cannot break out of it, we have to eat to live.
Like breathing,

Which is why smoking was and remains so popular despite what we know about smoking now, people still smoke, it is intricately involved in our breathing and we can’t just stop breathing and say fine see I’m all better

If we don’t breathe, we die

Alcohol and soda addiction or even energy drink addiction is just as hard to stop, we need to drink

We cannot say see I don’t drink anymore, We cannot not drink

If we don’t drink, we die

The thing about nicotine and alcohol is we can stop smoking and drinking that particular thing and still breathe air and still drink water. Can this also be done with food? These addictions and choices we make are intimately and intricately interwoven with the very impulses that keep us alive.

We need to do something, but we can’t not eat at all we can’t stop drinking altogether, we can’t not breathe the air, and we can’t not move. (I’ll get into that last one later.)

Like with drinking and smoking you have to break your addiction to the foods that are killing you.

Specially cheese,

But not only cheese, this is a challenge we need to take, a race we need to win as it is ‘win or die’. And since I aim to live long and prosper I need to win this challenge. I do not want to die, not yet anyway, I want to live to a ripe old age, laughing all the way and a bloody good diet is what’s going to get me there,

This sluggish poisonous unhealthy body I am now living in will become a healthy sleek one, and I will become more energetic and happier. I will become less grumpy less aggressive, less neurotic and less depressed as I fix all the food problems I have. I’m taking you with me, whether you like it or not.

And it is not JUST about the food, it’s a bout me and you, and our personal long term survival.

I will repeat a lot of stuff, it’ll get it into your head, so you remember, so you know. So I remember, so I know.

Also we will try to drown out the advertisers and the government propaganda. Some of you will be able to listen, some will not due to the weight of subliminal messaging and life long bombardment with misinformation, but my hope is once this thought is in your head it will stay there a and help you do something long term about the terrible eating habits and unhealthy food addictions that got you and me here I the first place.
