I had two cancellations and two no-shows, because the weather was nice.

Nobody wants to go to the gym when it's nice outside, including me. And I get paid for being there.

I also gave a couple my old food dehydrator, because I got a fancy new one for Christmas, and the guy's wife claimed he almost burned down their house trying to make banana chips in the oven.

If I am a hero, it is by accident.

I gave my mom a food dehydrator for Xmas one year. The first thing she tried to dehydrate was watermelon.

He needs one of those too, I'd imagine, but I only own one and should probably hold on to that.

I helped a friend find a new job the other day. She quit a bar tending job weeks prior because she was tired of working with 'children'. She is in the service industry and I knew a place that had just turned over front of house management to become more professional. She applied and got the job and loves the new gig. I'm very happy for her.

That guy I gave the food dehydrator to... he's made a concerted effort to replace all his normal snacks with fruits, dried and otherwise. I saw him Friday and he'd just had a doctor's appointment. In less that a month, he's dropped six pounds. This is the first time in his life he's ever been able to lose any weight, despite having done all the low carb and portion-controlled popular diets and only dropping 2-3 pounds here and there, then not ever losing anymore. For him, six pounds is a big deal. He has carried around a pretty large belly for awhile, and it makes him physically uncomfortable - I've never seen anyone so happy in all my life.

He was like, "I wasn't going to come to the gym today and get on the bike, but after I got the results from the doctor, I decided to come." His bloodwork and cholesterol numbers were showing significant - and fast - improvement as well.

His wife wasn't there. I guess their house is still standing.

Hate to be that guy but



Diets simply do not work when they are short-lived .

Folks don't seem to understand that the lifestyle they hope to return to is what made them gain weight in the first place.
The issue is that one must change the lifestyle along with the diet, not just "go on a diet until..."

Once you're messed up you will not ever be able to return to whatever you ate/slept/did before.

As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

He was just eating junk food, or processed "health food" and he finally traded it for an actual food item that is not processed by a factory to be addictive and make people overeat it.

That works. It just does. Most "healthy snacks" are still created to have strong, concentrated flavors that are habit-forming. They overstimulate the senses so that you will find plain foods boring and your senses shift to needing extreme stimulation to feel satiated.

A lot of people have to relearn totally how to find pleasure in something like a banana, or a plain bowl of rice with nothing on it. Then, they'll go through a stage where they eat really clean and produce-focused for a week or two at a time, then binge out one day on something that is highly stimulating to eat. Generally after a bad day at work, or a family emergency. You basically have to relearn how to experience pleasure in simple, healthy foods because our brains and senses are so fucked up by processed, concentrated junk.
