Recently, my bodybuilding coach significantly increased my steps.

(By the way, if you’re new to Code Red, we don’t exercise to address a weight problem. I’m in maintenance and training for a bodybuilding competition.)

On a recent out-of-state trip to attend a family wedding, I got up early and walked to the gym to help get more steps in earlier in the day.

While I was walking, I passed a building with a bunch of litter in the parking lot.

It reminded me of how clean Boise is.

I still see litter sometimes in Boise, but it’s NOTHING like the mess I saw while out walking in this other state.

Seeing the litter also made me think of eating clean vs. eating “trash,” and how much cleaner my body is when I eat clean. I even feel “cleaner” somehow.

I also sleep better. My motility’s better. My gut feels better.

I get that junk food is tasty in the moment and you (artificially) feel good when you eat it…

But it’s still trash in and trash out.

Meaning, if you eat like trash, you’ll feel like trash.

Maybe not right in the moment, when that food you’re emotionally addicted to, physiologically addicted to, or both triggers that dopamine hit and lights up the pleasure center of your brain. While that happens, you feel great.

But after your latest hit wears off, you go back to feeling like trash.

You feel bloated and gross.

Raging heartburn lights your insides on fire as if you swallowed an entire pail of red-hot coals.

Your joints ache with piercing ice-pick pain. Your brain is swollen and inflamed, leading to brain fog so bad that all you wanna do is get through the day and go to sleep.

You can’t find anything cute to wear that also fits, and even when you do, you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

Whenever you eat in public, you wonder how many people are judging you…either for being the fat person who’s eating dessert or fattening foods, or for being the fat person who’s eating a salad.

It’s easier to stay home and eat what you want where no one can judge you…yet you’re also SO lonely and isolated.

You hate living like this, yet deep, deep down, in a secret, shame-filled place you’re scared for anyone to know about, you feel like it’s all you deserve.

You may even believe this is “just how you’re built” or that you were “destined to be fat.”

Look, no one is destined to be fat.

Obesity is a symptom of a deeper problem.

It often means there’s some inner healing work to be done.

It also means that most of the food you eat most of the time, and in the quantities you eat it, does not agree with your body.

On some level you already know that, but “giving up” those “favorite foods”…the supposed only source of joy and comfort in your life…feels almost unbearable.

Plus, you’ve tried choking down dry chicken breast, slimy lettuce, and plain rice six times a day, and you can’t imagine eating that way for the rest of your life.

Listen, contrary to the “you have to eat dried chicken breast and plain rice to eat healthy” thinking, you CAN eat delicious, satisfying food and ALSO lose weight.

Will you need to do some things differently?

Yes…because getting different results requires doing things differently.

So the question to ask yourself is, DO you want different results…including to live in a body that works right and feels good?

And if so, do you want it badly enough to TRY OUT doing things differently and see what happens? (After all, it’s not like you can’t go back to garbage in, garbage out if you want.)

If so, then do it my way for 30 days on a 10 Pound Takedown and see what happens.
