"I'm not gaining weight, I'm retaining food." ~Janice Taylor, Our Lady of Weight Loss from her new book titled, All is Forgiven, Move On, Our Lady of Weight Loss's 101 Fat-Burning Steps on your Journey to Sveltsville
Is it just me or do we sometimes forget to laugh when it comes to weight loss? It is so much easier to get all stressed out about it and get down on ourselves. Do we forget that we "fat" people are supposed to be jovial souls?!?
Some argue that weight loss is no laughing matter. I disagree. I think any situation can be turned into something that we can laugh about, not years down the road, but right away. We have to dispel the false belief that we can't poke fun at ourselves. Granted, we can tend to be cruel to ourselves, but let's turn that cruelty into something better, let's turn it into a laugh.
I think if we laugh, if we truly laugh, the deep laugh, you know, the one that makes your whole body shake because you are laughing so hard, we will be certain to lose weight. If we laugh like that every day (10 times a day 10 reps each time) we wouldn't have to diet. Additionally, think of the awesome abs we would have!
There is a lot to be said about laughter and the healing powers of it. Why not try it out today? It could be the best and easiest "workout" you've ever had!
