I can tell you every concept to loose weight
known to woman. Or man. I know,
because I tried darned near all of them!
There’s the traditional dieting. Buy a magazine,
a book, find it online, just pick one.
Believe me, they all work. For somebody.
But not for the people who really need them.
They … we … stick to them completely,
obsessively, compulsively, perfectly
for a while. But the while may last an hour,
a day, a month, six months … but it ends.
Sometimes it ends because the weight is lost,
permission granted to end the process.
But ending it just leads to the same old same old
including the same old weight!
As time goes by the diet lasts shorter times
and the weight between regimens proliferates.
The diet can vary. Count calories, carbs, fat,
protein, abstain from fried foods, sugar,
bread, anything that tastes good. It’s all the same,
just different. And hypnotism, a pin in the ear,
carb blocker, appetite suppressants,
exercising hours and hours a day…
It’s the same. Until the reason for the fat
is addressed, remedied, relieved, there’s no hope.
But, there is hope. When the insanity is recognized
and a program to fix not just the body
but the spirit and mind is put into place
then
any program works. Just choose one
and take it with Twelve Steps.
