FOUR WORDS:  “BODY FAT” AND “PUBLIC HUMILIATION”.

FOUR VERY MOTIVATING WORDS…. 

My struggle centers around cellulite, with weight the “bonus” issue. Dimples on the tops of my thighs, never mind my backside where a whole other colony of cellulite exists. Cellulite on my triceps…I know there is muscle there – I used to throw a softball from center field to home plate! I’m tired of having four boobs ….I really only desire two of them. Finally my beer gut has been part of my life for too long – quite frankly the last time I had a flat belly I was 15!  

Public Humiliation is the best way for me to reach my goal. Many times I have thought of writing to a woman’s magazine, asking for a health/fitness makeover for this exact reason. Your contest is the perfect opportunity for me to make a commitment and learn discipline in a very public way, so there is no room for failure!  

I have a successful (yet stressful) career and a fabulous family…but time is my enemy …and what loses out? Exercise….I do not take failure or criticism very well but what I have continually failed at is an ongoing commitment to eating well, drinking less and exercising more. I reach a three month goal – then that’s it – I begin to see results and I start cheating – more snacks, one less run a week, that extra beer.  

I need to learn how to incorporate a regular exercise program into my busy schedule without falling off the fitness wagon. I need to eat well 12 months a year. I need to learn how to stop eating and drinking during periods of excessive stress. I love to set goals and reach them but fitness and health is the one area I continually fail…I need to succeed…I’m in the worst rut of my life and I WANT OUT!!  

Sincerely,

Karen Beaubier
