SLIMMING SHAME

Some people are actually ashamed of being overweight. Why? Because of expressions like 'fat pig', no one ever says 'thin pig'. But there is no reason for shame. Some slim people eat like pigs but never put weight on! They are not ashamed. Just like a person would have to go on a diet for an ulcer, we have to go on diets for a slow metabolism. No shame there - is there? You are NOT a failure unless you don't even try. Remember that if you catch that weight gain before it becomes of large proportions, you have scored success in altering your ideals. We have yet to meet a successful slimmer who said it 'wasn't worth it!!!' So while you are trying so hard, having smaller portions, skipping the chips etc. try to think ahead to all the advantages.
