Reasons to do Cohen and Stay on Cohen: Motivational Ideas

[lessfatty]

I thought I would start a thread on motivational ideas for those who are thinking of starting Cohens and for those who are on Cohen to stick with it (or get back on it).

Post with your inspirational ideas, both carrot and stick.


Top Reasons to do Cohen

• You want to have the energy to live life to the full.
• Having a fat @ss is only good for watching TV
• Being "festively plump" is for Santa, not for you!
• Diabetes is heading your way unless you change!
• If you are obese you probably have less than 20 years to live, if you also develop diabetes you probably cut it down to 10 unhealthy years left. Now do you feel deprived by not eating that pizza?
• Slim and Trim attractive people are seen by others as more in control, more promotable, more capable and more intelligent, perception is reality even when it is not!
• Do you want to hold your grandchildren? do you want to take your grandchildren to play on the beach? How are you going to do that if you are sick or fat or both?
• For women with PCOS you give yourself the best chance to conceive naturally, what can be possibly better than to give birth to children that will be loved?
• No more shopping at high and mighty for men or queen sized corner at department stores. You will never be told "we don't stock your size here" or the nice words "you are quite err broad..we don't have anything for you" (when what they mean is you are too fat for any normal clothes)
• Do you feel embarrassed at the beach? Do you want to change that?
• Do you want to walk up stairs without resting?
• Do you want to jump out of bed feeling great? No feeling tired?
• Do you want to surprise others that you can change for the better?
• What example are you setting for your kids? Genetics plus environment are responsible for obesity, you cannot help genetics but you choose your environment.
• Are your kids embarrased if you visit the school? Are you the fattest mum or dad?
• Does the opposite sex laugh at you behind your back? Does your spouse get asked how you do it?
