So You Wanna Be Thin??

Why?

What changes will there be in your life if you suddenly became thin? Will you still have a mortgage? Will you still want a new car? Will the kids still wind you up? Will your partner love you more? Will people still look at you in the street sometimes and judge you for the way you look?
We have all felt, at one time or another, that being thin will change our lives for the better. I know it, I spent years, nearly 40 years in fact, trying to do just that. I became so obsessed with it that I began to exclude normal living, I lived for food - when could I next eat, I was so so focussed on what I would be eating and when I would be eating it and how many calories it had and what would I eat after that - does that sound like you?
If it is you, then you are in just the right place! At Fat Is The New Black we believe that if you stop focussing on food and start enjoying life then you will come to love the way you look and suddenly you will start to lose weight. It works.....it happens and it is in practice now and working for me!
I am healthy, very healthy, in spite of my weight and I am losing weight all the time - how odd, this flys in the face of all the information we have been brought up to believe.
I used to believe that my life would be better if only I was thinner - and you know what - it wasn't. I tried it and sure enough, there were still all the old problems and more besides!
My life is better simply because I chose to change my thoughts and put MY LIFE into ACTION.

Whats it all about???

How many times have we been asked about the title for our website? Fat is the New Black is entirely a fashion statement - as always the phrase "the New Black" is - remember the year the fashionistas decided brown was the New Black - so we all wore brown to the Christmas Party? Well that's exactly what we are talking about.
Look back through history - Reubens painted portraits of fat women; fat was fashionable - the Edwardians and Victorians used their fat to show off their wealth; fat was fashionable. We, on the other hand, use our media to show that only thin is acceptable - look around you at magazines, wall hordings, television advertisements - you won't see many fat people there. We don't exist or if we do, then we are gruesome people to be avoided. Just imagine for a moment, a world in which you, a so-called NORMAL person (apparantly "normal" = slim) suddenly didn't fit in - you ceased to exist.................now you know how we feel.
We work with people to make them feel better about themselves because until they do, their health will continue to suffer, they will continue to be afraid to leave the house to experience, once again, the villification of those around them and as long as YOU continue to drive fat people inside, they won't be taking as active a role in society as they could and they are very unlikely to be physically active - and as you know, physical activity increases fitness irrespective of body size.
