Get Tough on Fat by Toughness Coach Steve Siebold
Fit and fat people think differently, says mental toughness coach Steve Siebold.
• Fat people eat for pleasure; fit people eat for health.
• Fat people believe diets are fads; fit people believe diets are strategies.
• Fat people eat emotionally; fit people eat strategically.
• Fat people believe there’s a secret to getting fit; fit people know there is no secret.
• Fat people expect weight loss without pain; fit people know everything has a price.
• Fat people see diets as short term; fit people see diets as long term.
• Fat people choose pleasure over discipline; fit people choose discipline over pleasure.
• Fat people associate with fat people; fit people associate with fit people.
• Fat people never have time to exercise; fit people make time to exercise.
• Fat people believe 99% compliance is good; fit people believe 99% compliance is terrible.
• Fat people are obsessed with food; fit people are obsessed with success.
• Fat people lie to themselves; fit people are brutally honest.
• Fat people feel powerless to change; fit people believe they can do anything.
• Fat people negotiate the price of success; fit people just pay the price.
• Fat people don’t connect fitness with sexual energy; fit people know sexual energy increases through fitness.
Some of this really hits home.
