"Overweight" is a relative term

CNN published an recent article saying, “As nation gains, ‘overweight’ is relative.”

I wrote an article several years ago about the retail store Old Navy and their misleading size labels on clothing.

But, now more and more retailers are adding extra material to the waist line and labeling it a smaller size.

Why? To make you feel like you really aren’t as fat as you think you are.

Well thank you very much, retailers!

If the tag says it, it must be true!

Who’s telling us the truth these days?

Politicians?

Nope

Infomercials?

Nope

Clothing Designers?

Nope

Let me ask you… does it make you feel good to know that your waist line is 40 but you fit into a size 4?

Who are they kidding?  I believe it’s a slap in the face to actually think by lying to consumers about the severity of their weight problem you won’t hurt their feelings or self-confidence.

It’s kind of like having a sheltered childhood.  Parents think they’re helping by keeping kids from the “dangers” of the world, but once they’re out on their own, reality and shock set in.

The reality is that some people are fat and we need to do something solid and concrete, not shelter people from the truth!

If I were you, I would think twice before squeezing into those jeans and buying into the lies and deception of the retailers trying to sell you.

But, if living a lie is something you like, makes you feel good and you’ll worry about the consequences later, than by all means, be my guest.

Are you ready for a change?

Ready to make 2010 your best year ever, I mean really, “Your Best Year Ever!”

If you don't have this… you won't lose weight, PERIOD!

I wanted to give you a quick reminder about our FREE Nutrition Seminar tomorrow night at 7pm.
I know that most of you are working really hard to achieve your goals.  You’re working out every day, completing the cardio and weight training exercises, but are still frustrated with the results you’re seeing in the mirror and in your weight loss.

One of the reasons for your frustration could be your nutrition plan.

Too many times I have seen or over heard people say something like, “I worked out today so I can eat McDonald’s, drink alcohol, eat sweets, (fill in the blank).
This is true yes, on your cheat day or sparingly, but to indulge right after the gym or every day, is setting you up for the lack of results over the long haul.
Tomorrow night, I’m revealing the most misunderstood area when it comes to achieving long term, life changing results!
NUTRITION!
We’re going to cover what it means. Because most people don’t understand what proper nutrition means.
-    The myths of diets and nutrition.
-    Why your doctor isn’t the best source when it comes to nutrition and exercise advice.
-    How food labels are lying to you to keep you FAT!
-    How to properly read food labels.
-    The proper foods and the right combinations can help you lose weight, feel great and achieve the body you’ve always wanted!

Our personal training clients and seminar participants have paid thousands of dollars for this information.  And on Thursday May 14th at 7pm, you will hear it all for FREE!
