Fat Pants

You know you have them-the Fat Pants.

Fat Pants fall into one of two categories:

1. The pants that let you know that you're getting fat because your waist/butt/thighs/all of it! won't fit in them anymore or



2. The new, larger pants you buy because you can't fit into your old favorite pair anymore. Type 2 Fat Pants =>

I think it's a good idea to have the Type 1 Fat Pants. Meaning some concrete sign that it's time for you to get serious about your health again. Once your Type 1 Fat Pants start to get tight, I encourage you to take that as a challenge! Not a challenge to go shopping for Type 2 Fat Pants , but a ch allege to get your body moving again. A challenge to honestly evaluate your overall nutrition and eating habits. A challenge to find friends or family that can help you make some healthy shifts in your life.

Due to the ebb and flow of our hectic schedules it's difficult for most folks to maintain one specific scale weight. However, it is a good idea to put some upper and lower parameters on what we consider is healthy. I recommend a 5 pound bracket of scale weight that you try to remain within from week to week. Alternatively you can have your Type 1 Fat Pants and your Skinny Pants. When the Skinny Pants fit, or you're at the lower end of your scale weight bracket, you know your doing pretty well with your body mass. When the Type 1 Fat Pants start to constrict your breathing or the scale creeps over that upper bracket, that's a signal to reevaluate your habits.

Having these concrete measurements helps me remember what my personal boundaries are. My Type 1 Fat Pants help keep me honest. They let me know when I need to be more consistent with my workouts or less consistent with the dark chocolate. They also save me from spending time and money at the mall on Type 2 Fat Pants .

If you're not sure what your body mass boundaries are, I challenge you to go to your closet today and find your Type 1 fat pants. You may be surprised what you find.
