I guess my confusion lies in the fact that I don’t remember her saying or admitting that, not once. Maybe I missed it.She saw the same thing she sees in every attempt of hers to make a drastic life change all at once. “Well I’ll be slim in no time because I’ll be forced to use the stairs! This will be easier than going to the gym because I’ll have to do it all day anyway!”
Unrealistic dieters always get these crazy ideas of, “If I give my car to my sister to use every day, then I’ll be forced to walk to work and I’ll lose weight!”
Except you won’t. You’ll lose money calling an uber everyday because fuck walking to work. Making drastic changes and then rationalizing that they will work because you’ll be “forced” to adhere to them is idiotic. The “forcing” just causes resentment and a constant need to find reasons not to do it.
“If I keep nothing but yogurt and celery in the fridge, I’ll be forced to eat that for snacks instead of junk!” No, you’ll just order a pizza or go back to the store for junk and you know it.
Chantal and all her ilk don’t want the slow and steady results of small, sustainable life changes, which is the only thing that works. They want a quick-fix that’s easy to implement (I’ll just get stairs! I’ll just buy lots of celery!). The problem is revealed by the. underestimating how big a change it will really be, while overestimating their own willpower to commit to it and not immediately find a lazy workaround.
