So, here's something. The other day I was thinking about how much weight I've lost (35 pounds so far) and I wondered what that actually felt like just to carry around. I've been hauling around dumbbells at the gym upwards of 70 pounds each, and deadlifting 200, and it occurred to me that I could just pick up a 35 pound weight and think to myself, "Self, you don't have to carry that around anymore". And …
Holy crap!
I was carrying around that much fat?
Losing 35 pounds doesn't seem like much until you've lost it, and then have to lug around an equivalent weight for even a few *seconds*. Damn, people. I've never discovered or even heard of doing that, and I cannot imagine a better way to get through to someone just what it is they're carrying under their skin.
Seriously, ask yourself these questions:
1) Am I overweight?
2) By how much?
Now, go find an equivalent weight and pick it up. Yes, you have that much fat on your body. Now, do something about it!
