We have demonstrated that we can – individually and collectively – get fat and stay fat. We are very good at it. One of best our stay fat strategies is to be “vague.” We take a wishy-washy, white bread approach to weight loss. We pretend. We toss in an “I’ll try” and a “maybe” or two. “I’m going to try and lose weight.” “Maybe I’ll exercise.” “Really, maybe!”
\nWe create enough wiggle room to wiggle our way straight into a plate of fries or a hot fudge chocolate sundae.
\nWe love vague, because there’s no commitment in it. We love vague because we are good at it! The less structure, the less planning, the better. The more unaware, the better.
\nVague is easy.<\/strong>
\nWe are comfortable with our fuzzy, formless, unspecific way of being. The only glitch in vague is that it keeps you exactly where you are. There’s no movement in vague. True enough, you are stuck in vague.
\nIn order to move, to make progress, to manifest your hopes and dreams, action needs to be taken and there’s no place for vague in action. In fact, when taking action, you really need to be ‘specific.’ Yes, specific!
\nEach and every time you decide that you are going to do something, get specific. <\/strong>
\nWhat’s your plan, specifically?
\nHow are you going to accomplish what you want, specifically? <\/em>
\nIt’s your choice. Stay stuck in vague. It’s easy. And you do it so well. Or get specific and move on!
\nWeigh-in please.<\/strong> How are you going to move forward, get back on track, lick this habit … specifically?<\/strong><\/em>
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
