It has come to my attention that many people use these pre-spring and pre-summer months to get into shape before it's time to bare all for the sun come summer time. Though a good idea at heart, as I don't want to be looking at your fat ass in a bathing suit while at the beach, but this act of dieting should be carried out year-round rather than just a few months leading up to summer.

Instead of going out to eat three times a week like most Americans do these days, try to only go out once or twice a month - if that. Instead of going with a diet coke and a large portion of food, why not just water and a normal-sized portion of food?

"Dieting" doesn't just mean trying to lose weight. "Dieting" is a set pattern of eating over a prolonged period of time. Therefore, you should be engaged in healthy and smart dieting all year, rather than just several months out of the year. Instead of always feeling tired and run down since you eat like a brute, you'll feel more energized as well as being healthier and better looking.

Also, daily exercise works wonders too. Instead of taking the elevator up two floors, why not take the stairs and save the elevator for someone who really can't walk up the stairs? Instead of using the automatic door, why not push or pull a door to burn a few more extra calories? Anything that requires you to expend more energy will help in your quest to look better.

Perhaps instead of trying to place the blame of your fatness and laziness on others, why not come to the realization that you're a human being that has the ability to reason and make choices. No matter what we do, we have a choice, even if that choice is to not make a choice.

P.S., Here is some motivation:

If that isn't motivation for you to eat right, then god help you.

This is where I would like to point out the double-edged sword in this situation.
