How to Punch Post-Grad-Fat in the FACE!

If you are like me, you probably went to College and enjoyed life like a reckless mess. I’m talkin’ drankin’, smokin’ and eating foodz like it’s flippin’ Mardis Gras all year round.  Freshman 15? Yeah, take that and double that stat! My average meal was well…just one or two meals of whatever fast crap I could buy because I didn’t have time for any of that domestic cookery business. Pffttt….just give me that friggin Jimmy Johns! What? It’s 3AM and I’ve been consuming liquid bread for the last five hours? I SAID GIVE ME THAT FRIGGIN JIMMYJOHNS! :U

But seriously, folks….Wow! That was college and it was pretty enjoyable, but once I graduated and it was time to be a grown ass adult, I realized I had to get down to business. Now that I have landed a real job and I have been making real money with real benefits…I decided I needed to start thinking about my real health because I’m a real adult with a real relationship and a real life.  Shit got real FAST. It was time to buck up and slim down. No longer was I satisfied with my sloppy body trying to wrestle itself into “Adult clothes” (and by that, I mean anything other than a large teeshirt and ill-fitting jeans).

Look what I accomplished in 2010! I punched 30 lbs right the eff off of me!

“What the crap? How did you do that?” You might ask. Well, I’m afraid that you actually have to do what everyone ever has ever said about losing weight…EVER.  Say it with me now…. “Diet and Exercise”   Yeah, initially it kind of sucks if you’re not used to that kind of thing, but honestly—-once you start, you’ll be astonished with how great you will feel with the decisions you make. Before you know it, you’ll be saying GTFO to Wendy’s fries and you’ll be going through about 5 bags of fresh baby spinach a week! Awwwwww yeah! Baby Spinach is awesome!

Beeteedubs, don’t believe any of that magic pill or powder non-sense—-especially if that particular supplement requires a max calorie intake of only 500 calories. That is one way to absolutely murder your metabolism. Sure, you will lose weight because you are starving yourself…but once you get off that plan, you’re going to balloon right back up because losing weight is about improving your metabolism!

HERE IS THE FIRST STEP TO SUCCESS:  First and foremost, try to get healthy emotionally.  Eating and drinking is often triggered by depression or addictive behavior. It will be a lot easier to cut back on these things if you are happy just being who you are! Embrace the you that is you because you are kickass!  Initially, it was hard to start exercising because I had shit self esteem and I didn’t believe I could accomplish some of the more physically challenging work and I constantly hated my body for not being what I wanted it to be. If you hate your body so much, you will be MORE disappointed when changes don’t happen as quickly as your expectations want—-So! Chances are, feeling like a failure will probably discourage you from doing anything. Just because you can’t do a pull up or you can’t run a mile doesn’t mean you suck at life! Remember that it takes time to eventually be able to do these things. Just keep trying to move around and work on your confidence! YOU CAN DO IT! Besides, you don’t REALLY need to be able to do a pull up or run a mile unless there is a Zombie Apocalypse…food for thought!

So yeah! Set your expectations quite low and take things slowly. For the love of yourself, don’t have it in your head that you can lose 30lbs in a month! The only way you can accomplish that is to be SUPER strict about your diet and to work out about an hour a day—every day and MOST people just don’t have that kind of will power or time schedule. Start out with little baby steps!  Try to eat a little more healthy by making your own wraps or sandwiches and actually eat some whole grain cereals for breakfast. Do an aerobic or elliptical work out for only 30 minutes a day, three times a week—-and when you think that isn’t challenging enough, Duh! Work out some more! Aerobic videos from the 90s are pretty boss and they are totally up your alley if you just so happen to be a hipster—-You can rent these from your local library! They might be VHS tapes…but that just means it’s even more hip or whatever! If you don’t have enough space to work out in your living room….go on long brisk walks or do jumping jacks in your backyard like a spazz—-IT WORKS!

Also, so you don’t hate your life initially, you can cheat on your diet once a week and have at that pizza—-just keep in mind that you should challenge yourself not to eat junk food for two or three months and then maybe longer and longer after that until junk food just doesn’t seem appealing anymore. I haven’t had pizza since April…but guess what, I’m eating a little slice of cheesecake right now because I have been a good girl and sometimes it’s okay to be bad. ;D

**SPECIAL ATTENTION FELLOW NERDS**  Do you have a Kinect for the Xbox?  If you answered “yes,” it is probably because you’re a gadget nut or you got it as some kind of Christmas gift because we all know the games aren’t THAT great. HOWEVER!  If you’re interested in shedding some pounds, you should definitely try both Kinect “Your Shape, Fitness Evolved” and “Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout”  It’s like having a freaking trainer in your house BUT IT’S A ROBOT EYE!  The best part is, you will be forced to work out! If you don’t, you’ll suffer the consequences and be beaten by a bunch of jerkwad NPCs, or you won’t get all the cool achievements. Remember, the Robot Eye is always watching—always judging….if that isn’t encouragement, I don’t know what is!

SO GOOD LUCK FRIENDS!  Don’t let that fat get the best of you! Love your fat and set it free…by burning it!
