It would be wonderful
if we had all evolved and learned our lessons over time. We like to think we
have, but I know we haven't. We as a people have so much left to learn.
I get
aggravated with some popular health gurus. Not because I am jealous they are
"skinny" or feel rebellious. Because so much misinformation that is
out there gets stated as fact. That I believe a million dollar enterprise is NOT going to
tell you the truth if it costs them advertising dollars etc. If you are going
to talk about thermodynamics, actually understand it. If you are going to make
memes about PCOS have ALL the
correct information or you aren't helping anyone.Unfortunately there is no 100% truth we are all digging... but at least make the effort.
Some days
I think I could get sassy and just bury these blogs and posts with the truth
via links to back up my "information" that I have acquired over the
years. The main problem is that there is very little actual
"knowledge" out there, it is generally an opinion stated as fact, a
sentence laced into the popular belief system. So regardless of what I can post
when I do wholeheartedly disagree, there is not much to state as fact. For or against it is all opinions or quoted fixed "findings" that were bought off by some company to help their bottom line.
We
are spoon fed misinformation all the time. And it hasn't changed. Some people post retro memes of old ads and the "funny" and "crazy" claims
that were once made. Cigarettes were good to "keep your weight down",
that is until cancer reared it's ugly head. What if that connection was never
made?! Would people still be very popular because it was considered a pleasurable
cool way to keep those “ Nasty fat rolls” away… ???
The stereotyped behavior of some “obesity” ( I
kinda hate that word…) Is SYMPTOMS of a disease not
CAUSES / or chosen behavior. Lustig explains it all… Metabolic syndrome / Insulin
resistance…so when people make fun of "fat people" they are making fun of sick people.The same people would never be so cruel as to make fun of other sick people with challenges or diseases but somehow metabolic syndrome etc is "funny" and assumed a "choice".
We run on
what we think we learned and know. And my Father will go down saying “ It was
all lies, they have been lying to us all these years”. I agree , what we
thought we knew.. life easily turns into " "If I only knew then what I know now…."
People still argue about whether eggs are good
for you or not…yet strangers think they can come up to me and tell me how to lose weight out of the blue without even knowing my name. What if their diet ideas would kill me? Who are these people to think they are doctors?! or patting themselves on the back because they are trying to save the fat girl?! Guess it doesn't matter because I must want to be thin at all costs even if it means going down fighting the size of my waist into an early grave via pneumonia from low immune after fasting inappropriately.... As far as most of society goes I am 1/2 there and won't matter until I am a size 2. I won't be living a full life in their eyes until their "information" fixes me and I can throw a rigid jeans coming out party in a single digit. Their misinformation, their fear, prejudice, twisted well meaning comments can go well you know where..
Similar to control it is all an illusion. So
don't be naive and think we KNOW it all. We have endless misinformation at our
fingertips via internet. In this day and age we still argue about weight and
what causes it.
STILL
If it were simply CICO success would be much more
prevalent.
For me… I
trust no one and no eating “plan” , I reject rules. I am finding my way and if
I end up 200lbs less fine, if I stay the same but feel better fine. But abusing
myself because I am not a size 2 isn’t happening no matter what the fitness
gurus want me to do. My life is NOT going to be about what shape I am not.. it is
going to be MY life and what I can “DO” within the years I have left, if I can help anyone, teach anyone,
enhance something , then my time has been worthwhile.
Please just sit back and admit we don’t KNOW everything… misinformation is
hurting people. Some of us just have to find our own way and turn our backs on
popular thinking to survive.
All sizism is prejudice from something many of us were once taught to be as a truth. It is fear based and comes from bought off studies , mis information, incomplete information and pure ignorance. One day the answers may come but until then many of us have to wait it out and deal with peoples attitudes because they will just never get it. Someday popular thinking & understanding of the human body regarding weight, Cushing's, Thyroidism, edema , digestion , gut bacteria , appetite regulation... etc will be more fully understood... And even then there will still
It's all about the shoes... When someone walks in yours the light bulb goes off , until then there is the finger wagging from many. All one can do is walk on and into their life! Can't wait for answers or miracles from people or science or diet gurus. We are here to learn from within , what resonates and what doesn't?! Pay attention to the little voice within you. Be
it health issues or personal human kindness.
My resting rant for today is…. Just use your head
, be mindful and respectful of your body and everyone around you… Listen to
your intuition.
