“If you’re fat, it’s your fault. Stop blaming food companies and diets and look in the mirror. You’re the problem. You’re the solution. Grow up, get tough and fix it.”

I completely agree. Blaming the food companies and genetics (mostly) is just a way to shift the blame. That’s one of the reasons why I love “The Biggest Loser”. Sure, they concentrate a lot on food and exercise, but those trainers also go after the emotional aspects of weight gain.
How did you get here? Why did you get fat? They ask those questions all the time and they force the people to answer. Usually food and bad exercise are due to some sort of other issue going on in your life, and your lifestyle has turned into a coping mechanism. If you don’t deal with that issue, then weight loss either won’t happen, or will be temporary.
The people who get angry at books like this don’t generally want to cope with the emotional reasons why they’ve become the way they are.
I should know… I had to do the same thing before I lost and kept off 85 lbs.
85 lbs! Nick I had no idea! Congrats to you, that is a great accomplishment. I hear what you are saying, that we need to ask ourselves questions like that and [i]listen [/i]to our honest answer.
Thanks… it happened several years ago… but I’ve kept most of it off. Actually, I put about 20 back on last year and started to really work my butt off again to take it back off.
Even with the added weight back on, I’m still more active than I ever was way back then in my fat days.
