How would such motivaion of mine affect you?
Make you angry? Anger is good when you're trying to achive something.

Dogstar · 07-30-2003, 10:53 PM

Do you mean, how would I react to it? Anger can be a good motivator for some, but not for everybody. It also depends on the goal. I don't think negative reinforcement with regard to weight is particularly helpful. At least it hasn't been for me.

If everyone constantly calls you a fatass and whale, what do you do? Most people will get sick and tired of it, and try to loose some weight.

Wallowing in self pity is another path, but if you EVER choose to follow it... well you never should really.

There are less cruel ways to motivate people. Name-calling is counterproductive. And I don't think it's wallowing in self-pity. There are other factors involved when it comes to being overweight. It's not just about food.

JulieCitySlicker · 07-30-2003, 11:07 PM

I agree Dogstar

Calling someone names to try to motivate them will probably make it worse

I mean some people that are overweight already have a low self esteem

Why make it worse....that is very cruel treatment!

Example -- drill sargent in boot camp acts mean and all, but he whips people into shape.
When you call someone fatass, not to get kicks out of it, but to make them angry and make them change their lives -- it's not cruelty.

JulieCitySlicker · 07-30-2003, 11:25 PM

Maybe that would work for some but if someone called me that I would floor them

It is cruel and childlike. Most kids grow out of it at some point.

Except I'm not fat

Dogstar · 07-30-2003, 11:33 PM

This is supposed to be a positive thread and I've let myself tangle needlessly in negativity. I'll try to stay more on topic, sorry everybody.

JulieCitySlicker · 07-30-2003, 11:36 PM

Thats alright Dogstar

I kinda strayed from the positive side to:embarass: Back on topic

Excercising in the morning before you even eat anything helps burn more fat

Dogstar · 07-30-2003, 11:39 PM

...I agree. I like to exercise before I eat anything. Sometimes, I get an upset stomach if I exercise with any food in my stomach.

JulieCitySlicker · 07-30-2003, 11:42 PM

I like to do a 3 mile walk before I even eat anything but since its been so hot here I have to have a little something like cereal so I don't pass out from the heat and I take water with me if I walk more than 5 miles, especially when its hot:P
