Man on a Diet: Vincent Tells All - Part 4
Apologies to Vin for taking so long to his latest installment up on the site. He sent it to us in December - sorry Vince, sorry readers! Still, he's still come up with loads of useful advice, and thoughts on losing weight...we wouldn't expect him to do anything but!
THOUGHTS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT - THE WORST TIME OF THE YEAR...
Thanks to everybody thats written... I hope I've replied! (And to the Lady that wrote for advice about a sexual problem "because I sound so sensible" - don't worry Love - your secrets safe with me!! I've always believed that what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom behind closed curtains is an entirely personal thing between the five of you..... :))
The most resolute and *SUCCESSFUL* of you have cut down the use of artificial mind stimulants - like alcohol and narcotics BECAUSE THEY DON'T HELP a diet of any sort :) Others pointed out examples of men who have attained the apparent status of genius... Edgar Allen Poe wrote "The Raven" under the influence of Alcohol "dreaming dreams that no mortal had dared to dream before" - Robert Burns wrote best when intoxicated [check out Auld Lang Syne!] - just remember that many such men have destroyed themselves in the end.....
YULETIDE
We are, of course, at the *WORST* time of the Year! Everywhere I look there's food - especially for Xmas - as if it's *necessary* to over-eat large amounts of Turkey, Mince Pies and Pudding as part of the Festivities... Father Christmas was sent to Earth to test every Dieter's mettle!! Look how overweight he is depicted!!
QUESTION
*QUESTION* what you EAT and DRINK - just think about it!! After a while it becomes second nature... Recently I got half way through a small bar of chocolate... and felt so guilty about eating it - I put the rest in the first bin I could find......
ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND AN ALIBI??
People who DON'T SUCCEED have one distinguishing trait in common - they know all the *REASONS FOR FAILURE* and have what they believe to be airtight ALIBIS to explain away their own LACK OF ACHIEVEMENT. The World only wants to know one thing - HAVE YOU ACHIEVED SUCCESS??
THINK ABOUT YOUR ALIBIS
The ALIBIS you use tell a great deal about you - so while it's a National Pastime to make them up - why not start achieving your weight loss and become a healthier happier person *WITH NO NEED FOR EXCUSES* Hope you had a Fabulous Xmas and New Year!
You are not alone!
P.S. I hope none of you lovely girls got leggings for Xmas :)
P.P.S. I have a friend that is on TWO DIETS - because he can't get enough Food on ONE :)
