Health, Wellness, Exercise, Reflections:
Commitment Level

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D / February 22, 2012

Welcome to Part 6 of my 8-part series on emotional eating. The fifth most common issue that interferes with your ability to lose weight is called Commitment Level.

According to my Inner Diet research, 28% of all overweight people who are dieting and trying to lose weight experience this issue. Here's why:

Your commitment level is a measure of the amount of motivation or resolve that you have to make a serious lifestyle change. People who struggle with this issue tend to view dieting and weight loss as a short- term endeavor. Their underlying intention is to change their eating habits only for the short term as opposed to embracing a new lifestyle and changing their eating habits for the long term.

Here's the problem with short-term commitment: It always results in short-term success at best.

Lifetime commitment, however, results in lifetime success. Your chances of being successful at long-term weight control with a short-term commitment are about as good as taking a shower without getting wet.

If your commitment is short term, you may lose the weight you want, but research shows that it will most likely return. Those who demonstrate a lack of long-term commitment tend to treat dieting and weight control in the same way they'd treat a common cold.

Let's say that every Friday after work you usually go out with friends for a couple of drinks, then to dinner and eventually go to a movie. Imagine that on this one particular Friday, you unfortunately have a cold. Instead of going for drinks, you go straight home, make chicken soup and go to bed early. In other words, you drastically change your regular behavior.

But the next Friday, when your cold is gone, you return to your old routine.

This is the same mindset that people who lack commitment bring to weight control. They see dieting as a short-term change in their behavior. Their conscious or unconscious intention is to eventually return to their old eating habits.

This attitude is at the very heart of the problem for those who lack commitment, and it's also what feeds into classical yo-yo dieting.

Please don't be discouraged if you fall into this category, because this is a solvable problem by changing your mindset.

I once read that the difference between commitment and involvement can be compared to a bacon and egg breakfast like this: The chicken was involved but the pig was committed.

I just love that statement. It paints such a clear picture of the problem with short-term commitment. The reality is that there's a major and significant difference between true heart-felt commitment and casual halfhearted involvement.

It's important that you understand this distinction. Because the truth is that most of you are only halfheartedly involved in dieting, wellness and weight loss while very few of you are truly committed.

Just imagine how easy weight loss would be if you wholeheartedly pursued it and were truly committed to this change. Start this effort today.

In Part 7, I'll address the sixth and final most common emotional eating trigger: Secondary Gain.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - Take Action:
    political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

Gay-Bar-Patronizing Shock Jock Mike Berry Goes On Rant, Calls Reports About Him "Smear Campaign"
Queerty / Feb 22, 2012

What's that they say about video killing the radio star?

Right wing talk-radio host Michael Berry, who was implicated in a hit-and-run outside a popular Houston drag bar, launched into an  tirade about the incident on his show yesterday, calling reports of his transgression "hit pieces."

According to AllAccess. com, our Douche of the Week winner proved he deserved the honor by talking about the incident, against the "very expensive" advice of his attorneys: 
He said that "the fourth-place TV station" had "run out of house fires to report on, so they decided to do a hit piece on me," using "unnamed sources." Reading the story posted on KPRC-TV's website, he noted the repeated use of the term "gay bar" and ripped the station for running the story on TV three nights in a row.  He asserted that he has never "bashed gays" and called the TV station's report "a smear campaign" and threatened to respond with his own "unnamed sources on you S.O.B.s… you will not smear my name and me go down without a fight."
It should be noted that the TV station's source was not unnamed--Berry allegedly hit the SUV of bouncer Todare Bennett, who went on camera to accused Berry of being the offending driver.

Later in his rant, however, Berry cops to going to the gay bar, but only because he wanted a brewski.

Says Berry: 
I went into a bar. There were gay people inside. You know why I went in to a bar? Let me confess. Because there was cold beer waiting inside. Is that a crime? The fact that I'm not afraid of the fact that some of the people inside may be gay makes it a bad thing? Would it have been better if I was at a strip club, or a Hooters? Well if it would then maybe you should now know, I don't hate gays. I don't fear gays. I don't need to bash gays.
Here's the full audio from the show:
