Mondays Kept Me Fat - The Health and Weight Loss Show That Will Keep You Started

This is part two of three articles will be about the big question when it comes to weight-loss and gaining health: The Why Question. Because that "why question" is very important when it comes to loosing weight and keeping it off. There are those common answers, "I want to lose weight so I can be there for my kids." And, "I want to lose weight so I can be respected." But, what if there were no children to "be there" for? And do we really need the respect of others who don't respect us as-is? If we are losing weight for others then how motivated will we be when they let us down? And they will let us down...heck...we are good about letting ourselves down (right?).

Let me tell you a story about a boy, his Sears and Roebuck Toughskin Jeans and his arch enemy…Mindy and her group of Go-Go-Girls-wanna-be’s. And, at the end of the podcast, you may start to realize that other people really and truly think about you...but not in the way you think they do. We'll discuss some pretty deep (and maybe a bit hard to comprehend) psychological truths as to what others really think when they think about us. Do we care about what others think? Maybe we'd like to think "NO!" But deep down you know that's not true.

These next three articles will be about the big question when it comes to weight-loss and gaining health: The Why Question.

Let’s start this week right off with my approach to losing weight and keeping it off. I have found that there are three aspects to a total health paradigm shift.

Mental – Change your brain and you’ll change your life.

Spiritual – Looking at postponing pleasure…not denying it…but postponing it and enduring a bit of discomfort now in order to enjoy the benefits later.

Physical – The third aspect of a total health paradigm shift after training your brain and listening to your heart is to let the physical changes happen automatically. And they will. Maybe by focusing only on what we can’t eat and how much we exercise (the physical), we are missing on the real reason we just can’t seem to lose weight. Maybe that real reason is we fail to address the mental and spiritual aspect of health and weight-loss. What if we focused less on the physical (less focus vs not absent of focus) and paid more attention to the mental and spiritual parts we’d get a different outcome.

The Green Decree Part 2 – “Good” Food and “Bad” Food

Years ago, when I was a kid…you know…back before there were things like dirt and the wheel. We were on a vacation in Florida. Like most folks on vacation, most of our meals were the “eating out” kind and when I say, “eating out,” I mean “cut loose!” My only reason near the “green stuff” at the buffet was to grab a plate. Personally, with all the dietary restrictions placed upon me as a kid at my home, this was more than an all-you-can-eat, it was my personal CHALLENGE!

“On your next trip,” she declared, “I better see you get something green on that plate.” - Mamma

My mission was clear…my mother’s instructions…forgotten. “I thought I told you to get something green on your next trip to the buffet!” My mother wasn’t one to forget her parental decree.

Truth be known, I had forgotten all about the “green decree” she made before my last run. But, there was my desert, a bowl of "green" Jello, “What color do you think this is?” My comment was neither wise nor witty. It was dangerous!

I love telling stories. There's more to this story (told in full in the podcast and on the blog post). 

In this episode of Mondays Kept Me Fat, Nurse Kevin explains the reasons why we identify food as either being "good food" or "bad food" and now these labels "transfer" these descriptive terms into a personal identity and how they affect our weight-loss and health ambitious. There's a better way...a more healthy way to "see" food.

This week we’ll talk about THE END of your weight loss goals. What do you do when you are done with your weight loss goals?

Read the full article that accompanies this podcast: https://mondayskeptmefat.com/2021/02/the-end 

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” (Lao Tzu). It’s a bit overused; that’s because it’s so spot-on! But, what’s on the end of the 1000 miles. No one talks about the last step. There’s 1000 miles (less two steps) between the “one step” and the “last step” and it’s the “last step” I want to talk about today.

“The End” is something we dream about. That first “one step” is easy to imagine as are all the steps in front of you. Can you imagine that last step? What happens after that “last step,” you have reached “1000 miles” and your health and weight-loss goal has finally been accomplished?

When Are You Going To Quit?

Read the full article here: https://mondayskeptmefat.com/2021/02/when-are-you-going-to-quit

This week we are going to talk about THE QUIT. If you don't think you have the tendency to quit your health and weight-loss mission...all you have to do is look in your life's rearview mirror. If you are anything like me, you've got a 100 starts and 99 quits. The mission THIS TIME is to NOT QUIT. We may deviate, but we do not need to quit.

Loosing weigh is hard. Keeping it off is harder. What’s harder than losing weight or keeping weight off? Getting started!! There are a 1000 weight-loss programs out there from Slim-Fast(R) to personal one-on-one trainers. But you’ve lost weight before; it’s not the “know how,” it’s the “RIGHT NOW.”

3rd Person Talk

Nurse Kevin is a National Geographic Photographer wanna-be turned Registered Nurse with almost 25-years of clinical experience ranging from pediatric care in public educational institutions to hospice nursing in private homes. He specializes weight-loss, health-promotion and health care in a single-origin, grass-fed, fixed-gear, slow-roasted, individualized plans of care focused on starting, enduring, and “almost” succeeding. But don’t let the “almost” fool you; that is the key to Nurse Kevin’s approach to loosing weigh and keeping it off.

When Nurse Kevin is not being a jerk to his fellow School Nurses, doing more visiting than working, and showing up for work on time every day (so annoying), he enjoys gravel-grinding, photographing, gardening, and occasionally throwing down some cast iron over an open fire.
