Unless you’re brand new to the Code Red Lifestyle, you know that we’re about tough love and picking your hard.
If that sounds “extreme” or freaks you out, stay with me anyway, because there’s more to the story!
There’s a lot of reasons this lifestyle is like that, and one is simply that I’m like that.
I believe in accepting responsibility for your actions, including the bull crap food you shove in your mouth.
I can’t stand the rainbows and unicorn farts of other weight loss programs.
“Oh, you cheated and ate something you shouldn’t have? Tee hee! Oh well, life’s too short not to cheat!” That is not me, or this lifestyle, at all! Why?
First of all, it just prolongs your weight loss and keeps you in the “diet” mentality, which has failed you over and over again (or else you wouldn’t still be fat after all those “diets” you’ve tried).
Second, today’s world is a jungle of bull crap food (even in hospitals!), and to successfully navigate it, you’ve got to be tough.
But here’s the other side of this.
Yes, I’m tough and no nonsense, and don’t believe in giving in to fear, self-doubt, or bull crap excuses…but I also believe in something a lot of people struggle with, obese or not:
Self-love.
For me, being mean to yourself and saying hurtful things about yourself–and letting other people do the same thing–is as unacceptable as making excuses and blaming everyone else for your choices.
You are worthy of and deserve love and happiness, especially from yourself. I don’t care who or what has convinced you otherwise. And that’s true no matter how much you weigh.
Negative self-talk, and other forms of self-punishment, doesn’t serve you in any way, shape, or form. In fact, these things can destroy you.
(If you need some tips on learning self-love, check out this post.)
Bottom line: Yes, the Code Red Lifestyle is tough.
But we also believe in loving yourself for who you are…right now.
Not tomorrow, not in a few weeks, and not once you’re at goal weight. Start NOW.
Whether or not you choose to lose weight with us, choose to love YOU.
