Rude remarks – weight loss triggers?
Posted on 04 November 2006
If you were ever overweight, you must know how it feels when people laugh at you, make rude remarks or bully you at school. Did it make you lose weight? Or did the fatty remarks in fact make you even more shy, friendless and uncommunicative?
I am never rude to people, and don't judge them by their weight, color, or car. I think rude remarks hurt and not motivate, but Charles Stuart Platkin from WBAY thinks differently. He believes that emotional stress other people impose on overweight persons is one of the main triggers for weight loss. As a revenge of course.
I remember writing about a one day express diet which makes you lose two pounds in a day. Which is excellent for vanity crises (ex boyfriend's wedding, hated co-worker birthday party or high school reunions), so you don't get the 'she's gotten fat' looks.
But would you change your whole nutrition, exercise and living habits because of people being rude to you? Although I am all for girls being healthy I simply refuse to think slimmer is better.
Anyhows, other great weight loss triggers, according to Charles Stuart Platkin are: medical reasons, special events where you want to look your best, vanity, friends pushing you to diet and competition with someone else on a diet.
Be honest, if you ever went on a diet, why did you do it?
