There are no excuses for being fat any more.
No time, no money, genetic effects, being sad, being single? They don’t hold true.
If you’re fat, you absolutely must lose weight.
There are some superficial reasons to want to lose weight:
- Slim people are more attractive
- Slim (and therefore attractive) people earn more
- Slim (and therefore attractive) are happier about themselves, and have higher self-esteem
- Slim (and therefore attractive) people are more likely to have a partner.
But that really isn’t why you must lose weight.
- You must lose weight because fat people are unhealthy people.
- Fat people are at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, and lots of other illnesses.
- Fat people have less energy. That means, they tired more easily, and find it more difficult to complete their work.
It’s really as simple as that: you’ve got to stop being fat because you have to start being healthier.
Imagine carrying a bag weighing 5, 10 or 20 pounds, around with you all day. Not a pleasant thought? Well, that’s what you’re doing if you’re overweight. That’s what I was doing for the last few years. I can’t believe how much more energetic I feel now that I’ve lost weight!
Ok, so wanting to lose weight is easy. How do you actually stop being fat and unhealthy? Well, for starters, read my upcoming posts

I have learnt that there is no more need for us to believe that being fat is generic to the fact that it is my responsibility to monitor my weight and the need for me to cut weight. Just need to get an appropriate way for me to cut weight. But my other worry is that my friends and those around me will have something to to say about me. i.e they will say that am sick and many others. What can I do to overcome this kind of stigma?
Hey erustus,
Dealing with friends and acquaintances who comment negatively is a big part of losing weight. There will be people who will try to sabotage your efforts. The easiest way is to avoid them if possible, especially during meal times.
If you can’t avoid them, simply don’t engage with them. You cannot convince them that what you’re doing is right for you and you can do it. So simply smile, or laugh, and move on to a different topic. If they won’t let it go, just say, “Hey let’s not talk about weight and boring stuff like that. How was your weekend?” or whatever.
Let me know how you’re going
