How Not To Lose Weight

Who
really wants to lose weight? None of us, right? How
much fun is it to be on a diet, deprived of all you really want and
need when there is a McDonald's, Krispy Kreme or Baskin and Robbins
right around the corner calling out your name? Learn to love what you've got, get more (and
bigger portions) out of life and let all the skinny people fend for
themselves! Following is Urban Christianz's guide to not losing weight:
1. Drive Everywhere You Go.
God gave us cars for a
reason - so that we would never have to walk another step unless we
wanted to! Forget about buying or using a bike, motorcycle or
your own two feet. Drive everywhere you need to go - even if
it's just around the block. 2.
Never Take The Stairs.
All those exercise books are always advising us to 'take the stairs
instead of the elevator'. Can they spell c-o-n-v-e-n-i-e-n-c-e?
Elevators get us to where we need to be quickly and efficiently -
and that's good enough for us. Use stairs only in
case of an emergency. 3. Eat
Whatever You Want.
There is so much wonderful variety in today's foods - we have fast
food, gourmet food, pastries, fried foods, seafood, beef, fish and
poultry - how can you restrict your eating to just one or two things?
Eat whatever you want - enjoy yourself and worry about the
consequences tomorrow. 4. Exercise,
Shmexercise!
Exercise - who needs it? You probably get enough exercise in
your daily life as it is - chasing after the kids, doing housework,
keeping up with your appointments, going to church, and all that
driving around has to burn off some calories, right?
So, don't worry about it - the last thing you need to do at the end
of a hard day of work is drag yourself to the gym. Work hard,
rest harder.
5. Watch As Much Television As You Can.
What does watching
television have to do with not losing weight? Watching
television goes hand in hand with one of our favorite activities - snacking! We
get to snack on such wonderful things as tv dinners, popcorn, potato
chips, cookies, and my personal favorite -
chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream! Hmm, hmm, makes me
hungry just thinking about it. So, pull up to Extreme
Makeover, pull out that bag of popcorn and snack away!
6. Never Count Calories, Fat Grams or Carbs.
Who has time to read all
those labels anyway? You know if something is good, right?
You don't need a label to tell you that. And fat grams and
carbs? Forget about it - the government can't even decide
what's healthy anymore and what's not. Good carbs, bad carbs,
who can keep up? Eat what tastes good and let God sort out the
rest. And, finally:
7. Never Weigh Yourself!
This is the final and most
important step - never get on that scale! Don't even buy a scale
(and if you already have one - throw it out)! Because, if you do, you will
find that doing all the above things will not only cause you not
lose weight, but will in fact cause you to gain weight.
But, by not buying a scale, you won't be aware of that fact until
your clothes no longer fit, your blood pressure goes up or until
your cholesterol shoots sky high! But, until that time, leave
the scale and the calorie counting behind you in your quest to
not lose weight!
(In case you haven't figured it out - this article is
in no way meant to be serious. It is simply our ironic way of
pointing out the countless excuses we use to remain overweight, our
refusal to diet and our lack of motivation in incorporating exercise
into our daily lives. Stay turned for our next (and more serious)
article in this series - Simple Ways to Lose Weight.
Until then - Be Blessed!)
