Fasting, meal planning, walking, portion control, etc all mean nothing when the person really doesn't want to do the work to lose weight.
This is Chantal.
She talks a good talk, but will never do the work to lose weight successfully.
I said it before, that driving to places (to walk) is a trigger for her, as she drives by all the fast food places she loves. Of course she stops to eat.
I'm not sure why she keeps up this charade. She obviously isn't interested in losing weight, so why does she keep lying about it?
She let herself balloon up to a massive size & never noticed? When she had to keep buying larger & larger clothing, she never noticed? She eats enough for 4 in one meal & never noticed?
Chantal didn't become this size overnight. But as the pounds packed on, even then she did nothing to reverse it.
Food is all she thinks about. Not family. Not friends. Not Bibi. Just food.
It would take a team of professionals to work with her daily to stop her overeating. But, she will never put the work in. It seems that anything that requires effort on her part is discarded almost immediately. The gym/trainer proves this point.
And remember the talks about how this Summer was going to be great because she would be thinner & able to wear cute clothes & go to lots of fun places? Those dreams were 20+ pounds ago.
Is she trying to catch up to AL? Well, she is almost there. Amber gets around on a scooter & I see Chantal approaching this. Truthfully, if she gets any bigger, she won't be able to fit behind the wheel of her car.
All that said, I'm just going to sit back & watch. I like predicting what excuses she will come up with & placing bets on which fast food place is the winner.
She is a great diversion when I need a break from work & could use a good laugh.
