The fat and the lazy

The fat and the lazy

Some people are just fat and lazy. I know guys who couldn't wait to get married just so they could get, well, fat and lazy.


There are lots of people like that. And I don't feel very bad for them when their health falls apart.


But there are also people in who are fat who aren't necessarily lazy. These people are in serious emotional pain.


Some people drink to mask the pain. Others shoot drugs.


There are people who work all the time to keep from feeling anything.


And there are people who go numb by eating. They eat and they eat and they eat rather than face life.


Last Wednesday I interviewed Dr. Christopher Mohr on many topics for our Prograde tele-seminar series. One of the things we covered was emotional eating.


Two things:


1- You may have clients who are emotional eaters. And while it's very possible these people need professional treatment that neither you or I are qualified to give, it is important for you to be educated on the topic.


To do so Dr. Mohr recommends you read The Handbook of Obesity Treatment, by Wadden and Stunkard. You can easily find it on Amazon.com.


2- If you're already a Prograde trainer and didn't catch this information packed tele-seminar you can catch the replay. It's posted in the resources section of your account.

The moral of the story today:


Not everyone is just fat and lazy. Some people mask pain with food and it's very important for us to remember that. We're fitness professionals. I know I can be a real hard-a** so this is a reminder for me as well - to be more compassionate.


Who loves ya? ;-)


Yours in prosperity,
