Fat Talks

By Linda Burgess

There is no scientific evidence to back this up but I KNOW fat cells talk.

Skinny people will dispute this, I know because I WAS skinny and thought fat people just had no willpower or something, but I have learned the very hard way fat talks.

When your skinny you can gain a few kilos and then watch what you eat, exercise a little better and hey presto back to that ideal weight, but then slowly (for me) the fat cells get a little more and their voice becomes a little stronger. Now if you’re genetically blessed with the speedy metabolism etc., this will not happen, you will always win the conversation and the fat cells will always be a small minority.

But once fat has established just a few kilos man can they speak loudly…. Healthy food choices suddenly become an internal debate – with fat cells confident that it is OK you can just go for a walk later and burn up those calories from that wee sweet thing, but later never comes because old fatty says no we are OK too much else to do to make time for that walk.

Suddenly there are more of them and their voice is getting stronger outweighing healthy cell choices to the point where there is just simple resignation of I’ll just enjoy the food and worry later (maybe) and then of course there is the unbeatable craving for fats and carbs and old fatty cells says we need them for more energy.

So then someone, maybe just you, scares you to look in the mirror and realise that hold up a minute when did this body looking back at me get like this. And old fat cells say it will be alright we can go on a diet let me help you….. Fat cells are sneaky like that… because they know a diet is the perfect way to beat you down, they love a good debate and if your dieting every morsel you eat is time for a debate.

So how can we change ……

Get help, we need external reassurance for our good cells to speak up; they have lost their confidence and are for want of a better word depressed or perhaps suppressed.

Let’s get them feeling powerful again. This requires a two fold approach, start with supplementing them with a good booster (herbs etc.), and give them the words to win the debate.

We all have the power within us to take control of our cells and guidance is at hand!!
