Day 18 Pet Peeves

Here are a few of my pet peeves. I'm by all means no expert or anything (I'm just here having fun)...but I'm smart enough to know better than so many other people. It's exhausting.

1. "I'm going to stop drinking soda and drink juice instead" That's no different than saying "I'm going to stop cutting off my left arm and cut off my right arm instead." haha.

2. Someone asking what you're doing (for better health) because they want advice and the only response you get is "Oh I could never do that." "Oh no, that's never something I'd ever do" "Oh I couldn't ever give up that" Nothing but I can't, I won't. Then why ask for advice? I've stopped talking to people "in real life". It's a waste of my energy.

3. "I did the low carb thing back when it was trendy...lost a ton of weight, but gained it all back plus some....I wouldn't recommend it"

----Ok, ANY change in your diet (and activity level) for the better from your typical pig-out-lazy-norm is going to cause you to lose weight. That's just common knowledge. Then when you get comfortable in your new self, you go back to your old habits of eating 12 enchiladas "But they were low fat!" and 32 ounce fruit and yogurt smoothie with 3,204 calories for breakfast "But it has yogurt and fruit, it's natural and healthy!" and late at night, eat 8 brownies...yes, you will gain all of your weight back, plus more. The low carb "diet" works...YOU are a failure.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.
