To get rid of that fat you need to carry along your thoughts. Because thoughts are things. The things we see come from the things we don’t see (our thoughts).

One of the major reasons why we gain weight is because we acquire thoughts that encourage us to eat more food our bodies can utilize.

As a man thinketh in his heart,……

  1.    BEING FAT IS A SIGN OF WEALTH.

No, a fat asset base is a sign of wealth, not a fat tummy. Ask Dangote or P-square, lol. Don’t be deceived by popular tales. In fact children with Kwashiokor also have pot bellies.

  2.    PEOPLE RESPECT FAT PEOPLE.

In this part of the world, yes, poor people generally judge the man who has a pot belly as being a big man. Those people who “hail” your big tummy won’t be there to for you when you have huge health bills to pay.

This year, loose the need to please/impress people. Like I said in no 1, your asset base and the positive impact you make in people’s lives is a sure way to attract respect, a fan base and fame.

And for strangers, the way you smell or dress would definitely define the way you are addressed.

  3.    I MUST EAT WHEN I COME BACK FROM WORK.

Eating is not a form of relaxation after a hard demanding day. Nothing beats sleep or a good novel or movie.

  4.    BEANS IS POOR MAN’S FOOD.

Come on, you know that is not true.

  5.    I HATE HEALTHY FOOD.

Does the sound of healthy food mean boring food to you? No matter the meal, the way you prepare it and serve it is what matters the most.

  6.    I CAN’T EXERCISE.

Maybe you have had surgery, amputation or got an ‘F’ consistently in physical education like me in primary school, never believe the lie that you can’t exercise.  

You have heard of the Paralympics right? people with all forms of physical ability doing sports or our favourite football players who returned to the field after a few days or weeks post surgery or is it Nigeria’s Kanu Nwankwo who returned to a fulfilling sports career after heart surgery.

Exercise does not have to be a heart pounding strenuous activity in the gym, it could be taking a walk while listening to your favourite songs/ gospel message, dancing or playing soccer/tennis or my favourite swimming!

  Read this man's story here. He lost his leg in an accident.

    7.    FAT IS IN MY FAMILY.

Okay maybe all your kids, brothers and sisters are on the big side. Let me categorically say that your genes contribute a very small proportion to why you have weight and metabolic syndrome issues, try eating less and see if you won’t get slimmer than your other family members!

   8.    I CAN’T LOOSE WEIGHT.

Gist for another day!
