How’d You Get So Thin?!
Â
Â
That’s what I heard today as someone fumbled to grab my attention.
Â
I was working out so I was in the zone then I see this guy give me the
Pull out your earphones, I want to interrupt your workout gesture.
Â
Â
He says, dude how’d you get so thin?
Â
I laugh and tell him I’m not thin, I’m lean ha!
Â
But honestly, it wasn’t easy (at first), but I think I figured out the easiest
Â
Way to get thin and stay thin.
Â
It’s actually easier than you think.Â
Â
You see, for awhile I was working out hard, eating all theÂ
Â
Things that you were supposed to eat and I just couldn’t lose weight
Â
Then I experimented.
Â
Â
I thought to myself, if the average American eats about 2,000 calories a day
Â
And if more than the average of the population is overweight, then why am I
Â
Doing what everyone else is doing?
Â
Â
I thought about it and decided to reduce my calories….A LOTÂ
Â
I’m not gonna tell you how much, but let’s just say that the guy who started
Â
This conversation asked me “Is that even healthy?”
Â
Â
I responded back, with one of my greatest hits
About the resilience of the human body and how it survives many other
Worse things that we inflict upon it. (Cheers mate)
Â
Â
So in short, it wasn’t anything special that I did to lose weight and get lean.
Â
In fact, it was all in what I didn’t do
…stuff my face full of chicken sandwhiches… (nom)
Â
Â
But the moral of the story here is this.Â
Â
You may have goals and aspirations, but to achieve them, you can’t expect to
Â
Do what you’ve always done or what other people are doing for that matter.
Â
Â
If you want something to work for you, then you have to experiment and
Â
Be somewhat fearless in accepting the results, good or bad.
Â
Because at the end of the day, if you want something bad enough
Â
You’ll figure out a way to make it happen.

Â
P.S. I write this not to brag about my weight loss, but as an evident truth
Â
That experiments are what help us grow and find out more about ourselves
Â
And how the world works around us. If there was an ultimate truth thatÂ
Â
We all could find, I would imagine someone would have found it by now.
Â
But until then, keep experimenting. If you’ve got something that you’ve
