Unfortunately for Larry, he’s the subject in today’s email, fortunately for you Larry’s story will help you figure shit out.
Here’s the story, it’s short.
Larry’s going on vacation and wanted to drop some weight before he goes.
Seems like a recurring theme with everyone, right?
There’s a big fuckin problem with this thought process.
You don’t get in shape to go away on vacation, go to an event, or whatever you think you need to “get in shape” for.
You stay in shape all the time so this issue never takes place where you feel like you have to do something dramatic to lose weight.
If you are always in decent shape you never have to think like this.
Do you know what this type of thinking does?
This puts start time and finish time on your plan to eat well for a specific purpose.
What does this mean? That your health only matters when you are going on vacation?
This is ridiculous and all to common.
I don’t get it, You don’t care what you look like till you go on vacation and have to take your shirt off in front of people?
Is that what it is, people?
Who gives a fuck about what the fuck is going through people’s minds.
Do you not care what you look like to yourself, only people on vacation?
That’s ludicrous, you’re the only person that should matter to you what you look like.
That means you should always want to look good for yourself, no?
If you think I’m wrong or even semi wrong email me your argument. That won’t happen cause you don’t read the fuckin emails.
Not only did Larry make the email but Nony did as well.
I don’t even want to tell you why she made the email but it’s for using kitchen appliances to hide food.
Getting in shape for vacation, hiding food? What the fuck is going on here?
I don’t even know why i’m writing this email, you were all being punished for never responding to my emails and yet here I am writing another one.
You ain’t hiding food from anyone but yourself!
You ain’t gettin in shape for no one but yourself. Ya know why?
Cause no one gives a flying fuck what the fuck you do except you so how about you come clean with yourself and stop playing the fuckin games?
I’ll discontinue the lack of email punishment if I get responses.
Thank you

You eat trail mix?
If you do, why do you eat it?
Do you frequent the trails that often to the point you need to eat something, and that something happens to be nuts, raisins, yogurt chips, M&M’s?
What genius came up with trail mix? Brilliant idea, it really is.
Let me throw together some shit in a bag and call it trail mix, this way people will think cause the word trail is in it, it’s gotta be healthy.
What the fuck is so hard about eating meat and vegetables? Seriously, what is it?
I really don’t understand it.
Someone please explain it to me.

Have you ever heard from your Dr. that your bad cholesterol is high and you need to stop eating fat or you’re going to be on cholesterol meds?
Someone recently said that to me when questioned about his blood work.
This is the dumbest thing ever.
There is no “bad cholesterol” and “good cholesterol”, your body produces both and both serve a purpose and you would have a severe problem without either.
Your body doesn’t produce shit, you just feed it shit making it difficult for your body to perform optimally.
Do you know what causes cholesterol to gunk up your artery walls?
Sugar is the enemy here, not fat. Eat fat and protein and leave the fuckin sugar alone!
You should test it out for yourself.
Go to your Dr. get your bloodwork done then don’t eat sugar for a month and see if your bloodwork changed for the better. If it didn’t, go back to eating sugar.
If it did smack yourself for not doing this the first 1,000 times I said it.
I’m surprised there’s not a diet called “The low cholesterol diet”, doy!
There’s no secret to lowering your cholesterol, there’s no secret to losing fat, and there’s no secret to feeling better.
It’s called consistently eating well.
You’ll see everything change when you eat well consistently.

It feels like you don’t even read the emails.
Is this true?
There’s one person that always emails me back and she’s not even a member.
Why don’t I get responses?
Does no one respond because you ain’t eating right so you don’t want to bother getting into it, or are you just sick of it?
If you eat well and you’re sick of me, good!
I don’t get it, respond!
What the fuck I gotta do to get you to show me you’re involved in what the fuck I’m talking about?
Send me some pictures of your meals, explain to me how you’ve been eating, tell me what’s difficult if you’re having trouble with this, anything!
You think if you don’t respond I think you’re eating well? I can see it!!

Now that it’s summer and everyone has shit to go to, does that mean everyone starts eating like crap?
Is this what happens when the weather gets nice? It’s nice outside, I’m gonna let myself go for the summer, doy!
I always thought it was the other way around, you tighten up your diet when the nice weather hits, no?
I can understand drinking more, but eating more shit than you normally eat, that’s just a double whammy.
You can’t do that! It’s either one or the other. Either drink and don’t eat or eat and don’t drink, can’t have it both ways. I assume you know I’m talking about eating crap not eating well. If you are eating well than drinking won’t be so bad. But, drinking and then binge eating, Oooof!!
Forget it, you just fucking destroyed your body, just go to sleep for a day, hopefully when you wake up your body will be back to normal.
Don’t be a glutton, have some fucking sympathy for your body.
You been given a healthy body, don’t destroy it over your fuckin love of food, that’s irresponsible and fuckin ridiculous.
You can get away with shit if you always eat well. Why am I still repeating myself?
I shouldn’t even have to fuckin say this anymore, what the fuck.
How many fucking times do I have to say, you need to eat well consistently?
Consistency, that’s the only way you’re going to see a change in your body.
Just fuckin do it! I don’t get it, I really don’t. Stop with the excuses, so fuckin annoying. You have a reason you don’t eat well, it’s a dumbass excuse.
You brush your teeth twice a day, don’t you? If you don’t call Peter Barkoff and get your teeth checked out, he’s right in Syosset.
You know what helps keep your teeth healthy? Not eating shit!!!! Am I right Peter?
It’s just fucking food! They’ve created this thing around food that makes it so enticing, it’s not, it’s just food.
What if you didn’t have to eat, would you still keep eating shit?
My question is, are you eating shit because you have to eat and you can’t control yourself, or are you eating shit cause you love the taste of it?
If it’s the latter, that’s a fuckin problem.
Is anyone reading this shit!
Geez c’mon man, I’d rather see you smoke crack then eat shit!
You can’t feel good if you’re’ not eating well. You may think you feel good but you have no idea how “good” feels when you eat well.
Instead of your poor body suffering everyday trying to counteract the crap you put in it why not give your gut a chance to heal and feel good.
You think your guts happy about having to battle everyday cause of what you put in it? Yes, your gut has feelings and you’re fuckin em up.
Change, just fucking change the way you eat already for crying out loud.
