Why we SHOULD tell people they're fat - and the simple trick that helped my wife lose 66lb in a year, by MR MOTIVATOR

We all need to take 責任／義務 for our health and 井戸／弁護士席-存在, さもなければ we become a 義務／負債 to our 国家の Health Service, says Mr Motivator

We all need to take 責任／義務 for our health and 井戸／弁護士席-存在, さもなければ we become a 義務／負債 to our 国家の Health Service. And 演習 is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way of 戦闘ing both obesity and 糖尿病.

When I started my career as a fitness 指導者 in the UK in 1983, it was perfectly okay to プロの／賛成のd someone in the belly and tell them to lose a bit of 負わせる. You’d never dare do that today.

Not only have waistlines ballooned over the past 30 years but our 態度s に向かって obesity have changed, too.

Sixty three per cent of adults in the UK are overweight. But call someone fat or 示唆する they try and わずかな／ほっそりした 負かす／撃墜する ? and suddenly you’re （刑事）被告 of ‘団体／死体-shaming’ and ‘fat phobia’.

I made this point on 無線で通信する 4’s Loose Ends podcast last week. But when I woke up the morning after it was broadcast, the deluge of calls and text messages I received left me in no 疑問 that I’d touched a chord.

But had what I said been remotely 議論の的になる? Obesity costs the NHS about £6billion a year and, by 2050, it will be nearer to £10billion.

And the incidence of 糖尿病 is approaching 疫病／流行性の 割合s, too: there are just under four million people living with type 2 糖尿病 in Britain, with a その上の 850,000 living with it undiagnosed.

So why can’t we tell people when they ’re getting a little tubby?

And it’s not just about food. Britain has given up on 演習. Four London hospitals are 現在／一般に referring pre-op 癌 患者s to my classes. Why? Because 存在 fit and healthy helps you bounce 支援する from 外科 far more quickly and makes it いっそう少なく likely that you’ll be struck 負かす／撃墜する by another serious 条件. My mantra has always been: movement is 薬／医学.

支援する in the 1980s, fitness wasn’t about gym 会員の地位s, 5k run times or how much you could （法廷の）裁判-圧力（をかける）. It was about having fun.

At the time, the fitness 産業 was riding high on the wave of films such as Footloose, Flashdance and Jane Fonda’s Workout. The biggest selling 記録，記録的な／記録する of the 80s was Olivia Newton-John’s Physical.

In other words, fitness was 冷静な／正味の. Fitness was sexy.

So when I started appearing on GMTV in the 1990s doing workouts on breakfast TV, of course I decided to wear 幻覚的な unitards matched with bumbags and neon sweatbands. We weren’t taking ourselves too 本気で, we were having fun ? and it just so happened to be good for the nation’s health.

It was such a 攻撃する，衝突する that celebrities were 列ing up to take part. Supermodels Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson swivelled their hips on live TV. Singers Sir Cliff Richard and Luther Vandross got their groove on. Even the late Meat Loaf ? a larger fellow not renowned for his agility ? got in on the 活動／戦闘.

But the workouts weren’t without 論争. I remember a singer called Kim Menzel taking part in one 決まりきった仕事 and 苦しむing a wardrobe 機能不全 which ? to put it politely ? 要求するd my 援助 to ‘pop them?支援する in’.

You wouldn’t get a show like that now. Today, 演習 is too often something people do alone, in 私的な, on treadmills in 地下組織の gyms. But that isn’t what fitness is about, it’s about 存在 with people and 株ing in the joy of movement.

Part of the 推論する／理由 I have this 肯定的な mindset is what I had to get through to be where I am today.?Growing up in Jamaica, my adoptive father, a policeman, （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 with me a leather ひもで縛る when I misbehaved. いつかs, he’d even （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 me?before?I misbehaved. Even after I moved to England as a boy, fame didn’t find me すぐに. At 21 I was a 選び出す／独身 father living in a ネズミ-infested 会議 flat with one 選び出す／独身 bed and no mattress.

I know how it feels not to be loved. So I make sure never to make anyone else feel that way, whether they are my （弁護士の）依頼人s or my own children.

I got the 愛称 ‘Mr Motivator’ because I encouraged Britain to get moving ? even if that 要求するd some home truths. Sure, I’ll help people if they need to lose 負わせる: it’s often the kickstart they need.

My beloved wife Sandra used to be 厳しく overweight as a result of the menopause. For 20 years, she struggled to lose 負わせる, にもかかわらず 演習ing with me every 選び出す／独身 morning. I remember one evening she got dressed to go out but, by the time she got to the 前線 door, she had to go 支援する upstairs and change because she’d sweated through her 最高の，を越す. Her 信用／信任 was at 激しく揺する 底（に届く）.

She turned to me one day last year and said: ‘Derrick, I don’t remember the last time someone other than you said anything nice about my 外見.’ I saw the 涙／ほころびs in her 注目する，もくろむs. And I had 涙／ほころびs in 地雷, too.

Mr Motivator, pictured in the 1990s, says he now only eats half of whatever's on his plate?

But last year everything changed. She went alone to Thailand and changed both her 視野 and her 態度. Instead of 存在 self-conscious, she learnt to love herself. She kept up the 演習 and equipped with this new mindset, the 負わせる started to 落ちる off.

Within a year she had lost 66lb. Now her 信用／信任 is 支援する and everyone?is racing to compliment her. She stands tall once again, and I’ve got 支援する the woman I married.

Of course, some people are predisposed to 存在 larger than others, but everyone can and should take 責任／義務 for themselves. It’s not the 政府’s 責任／義務 to keep you healthy, it’s your own.

I’m 71 now and my metabolism isn’t what it used to be. So I’ve decided to only eat half of whatever gets put on my plate. Even when it’s my favourite, apple 崩壊する, I make sure I al ways leave half and someone else can enjoy it.

People tell me all the time to stop dressing like it’s the 1980s and to stop moving like I’ve got the 団体／死体 of a man half my age. I tell them: ‘I love myself, and you should love yourself, too.’ Because that’s where 負わせる-loss starts, as my wife can attest.

Movement is 薬／医学, and it’s one this 広大な／多数の／重要な nation needs now more than ever.
