I will fully admit to being a former lazy overweight American. I was in your shoes for many years as well. When I weighed more than my husband who is a LOT taller than I am, it was my pushing point to change. Oh and I loved Richard Simmons. I actually lost a lot of weight for a while using his ideas, I just got lazy again.I lead a sedentary lifestyle and yes, I am lazy. I am obese, I eat too much and I eat McDonald's, ice cream, sweets, potato chips and heaven forbid regular canned veggies (not low sodium). I have a treadmill in the middle of the living room (so I can walk while watching tv) which is dusty from lack from use. I have a bicycle, have joined weight watchers more than once, paid for a gym membership for more than a year that I used 4 or 5 times total. I have a pedometer, pulse heart rate watch (2 actually), five or six pairs of sneakers, HAD to have the Wii Fit and have used it twice, even have Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies CDs (shameful I know)
I have vowed dozens of times that tomorrow I will begin my "lifestyle" change but I never follow through. Yes I am lazy! I am not proud of that but I won't pretend I am not.
I just felt like someone had to admit they were a lazy overweight American.![]()
Nothing shameful in admitting it at all. It is hard to make changes. Trust me I know!
