10. It’s Okay If This Is Not For You
Flibbitygibbety says, “That I have to cut out carbs to lose weight. Honestly, I’m not against people finding a way of eating that works for them, and if keto helps someone, then that’s brilliant! But if I had to cut out pasta and bread to lose weight, I doubt I would. A lot of my favorite foods involve one of the two. People who are slim and healthy and not losing weight are telling me I can’t lose weight because I’m not cutting out carbs. I don’t want to, and I won’t, and I don’t want you to try to convert me to this any more than your religion or something.”
“Also that I have to start going to the gym to lose weight. First of all, I’m already 30% of the way there. Second, again, it’s GREAT if you enjoy the gym and it makes you feel pumped and accomplished. It doesn’t do the same for me, so I’m not going to do it. Thanks, but no thanks, and please stop telling me I HAVE to do this or that. I HAVE to eat less, that’s it. You do what works for you. I’ll do what works for me, and let’s just get on with our lives and stop this conversation because I want to scream, smile, and say, ‘that’s interesting but not for me.’”
