Closet garbage eaters, this is for you... And me.

You know who you are. You've got all the answers and your lousy at taking sound advice because it's easier to be lazy. The tilt-a-whirl of disappointment goes round and round and you pretend everything is okay. You're not fooling anyone and everyone else knows what you're up to. It's easy to lack self discipline because you're not alone. Misery loves company.

I'm sick and tired of hearing why you can't stop eating crap. Stop blaming your thyroid, boyfriend, childhood and ancestry because it's not working. The problem is your inability to face reality. The real issues are your lack of accountability, willpower, determination and the lousy company you keep. It's also your lame plan or lack there of. Your reasons why suck and you don't tell the truth about what you stuff in your face when no one is looking.

Your horrendous eating habits is the American terrorist within. If the level of disease caused by unhealthy choices continues at this alarming rate then we will destroy ourselves without any help from the bad guys. Fad diets, pills and miracle potions used to lose weight never work in the long term and they never will. Dozens of studies show that calorie control diets that still allow you to eat forms of unhealthy food always fail. I've never met anyone who started a "weight lose only" diet and stayed on it. So you lost 50 pounds and kept it off for 5 years. Why did you gain it all back in 6 months during year six? Are you proud of that?

When diet deprivation becomes too much the closet eating begins. Your reasons for falling off the wagon are plenty and you'll defend them till you're blue in the face. Good for you for choosing the option that required you to be lazy again. Choosing gluttony is no way to build your manifesto my friend. What is your reason for being on this earth? Why do you really put that garbage in your mouth? Do you want to know why? Do you want to look at it closely? Do you care enough?

The simple answer is choice. I hope you weren't expecting something more complicated. How do you choose what to be? How will you work to be better than before? Who will you surround yourself with? How long will your better choices last? Will you continue to be the closet garbage eater or will you finally get your act together, stop making it about you all the time and begin to be an example to the people in your life who need your help?
