What it’s like to Be Fat vs. What it’s like to Be Lean & Fit

Sun comes through your blinds as you begin to hear the birds outside chirping. It’s a new day, but nothing really feels any different. Sitting up is a task because the many pounds of belly fat you carry get in the way of you getting your chest closer to your legs. Once you stand up you can feel your feet and knees already start to complain about the strain you put on them.

After taking care of necessities you head to the kitchen where your “healthy” cereal awaits you. You think to yourself “It says it has 13 vitamins and minerals, a good amount of fiber, and it’s whole grain; so it must be good for me, I’m at least starting my day off right”.

The commute to work is exhaustingly stressful, but to add harm to injury you feel uneasy and tired.

“I just woke up, why do I already feel tired!? Did my eight hours not count for anything?”

As you slowly drive down the highway you see a billboard advertising a local gym, it reads “First month is FREE!” You think to yourself in an uncomfortable way “Who has time for that?”

You finally get to work and drive into the parking area when you see a fellow co-worker getting out of his car doing a couple dance moves and with a huge smile on his face.

You think to yourself, “I wish my morning started like that.”

Vs. 

You wake up to the sound of birds chirping, you take a deep breath and the feeling of air filling your lungs to capacity relaxes you. It’s a new and beautiful day.

When you walk into the bathroom you can help but look at yourself in the mirror.

“Wow!” you think to yourself.

“Losing all that weight was sooooooo worth it!”

Feeling you flat stomach causes your brain to release feel-good hormones that make you smile.

After doing a few morning stretches you head to the kitchen where magic is about to happen. You turn up that music that soaks into your body and makes you dance. Woah, making oatmeal and scrambled eggs has never been so fun, even though you do this every morning.

After getting ready for work, you’re off to face the morning commute, but who cares you feel great and can’t wait to tackle the day.

As traffic slows down, your car ends up next to one with a cute member of the opposite sex. Both of you can’t help but smile at each other, it’s too bad you’re in traffic instead of a coffee shop.

Driving to your companies parking lot you recognize a car that is about to drive past you. It’s them, the cute person in traffic, they must work here too! Awesome!

Once you park you can’t help but bust a few moves as you get out of your car because today is going to be a great day.
