Back in the heady days of a year plus ago, I used to go out.
To see friends.
Go to their houses sometimes.
Parties.
Those were the days!
When you do what we do and there’s food at a party, people invariably look at what you’re eating.
———- Same with checking your trolley when they bump into you in Tesco ————
And, often, ask what you normally eat.
And, a fair amount of the time, they’re disappointed.
I think people expect / hope for one of two things:
1. We’ll eat like monks, in a way they “couldn’t do”
2. We’ll eat all sorts of rubbish and be able to get away with it due to “having a good metabolism”
When the truth is somewhere in between, they’re disappointed.
Which we get.
It’s not the prevalent conversation about weight loss that we hear from others and the media (social or conventional).
Where losing weight is all about cutting things out completely.
“No carbs”.
“No snacking”
“Stopping drinking”
“No take out”
And so on.
Or about how “so and so has a better metabolism. They can eat whatever they want and not gain weight”.
Having a “balance” is a bit less ‘sexy’.
Having an amount of anything but not too much doesn’t sell magazines and get influencers paid.
But…………..
From our experience…………….
It’s the best way.
Who wants to go without certain things forever?
Who could actually do that?
When we think that’s the only way, it all falls apart pretty quickly.
When we feel we’re a victim of our metabolism and genes, it’s easy to not do the things that will help us make forward progress.
Such things might affect “how much” of something we need to do.
The speed of progress, perhaps.
But they never make it impossible!
