When I grow up I want to motivate people.
I want people to feel good about themselves.
I want them to want to do the right thing.
Doing the right thing makes people feel good about themselves.
I didn't want to use the same pedestrian word “motivate” repeatedly, so I looked up words that are synonymous with motivate.
One word that instantly leaped out at me was “GOAD”.
Holy Cow.
Is the line that fine between motivating and goading?
For those hating diet and exercise, yes.
In fact, the line probably isn't fine.... it's CAPPED, BOLDED, and ITALISIZED.
People pushed into dieting and exercise are GOADED. I am sure of it.
Working with the idea that all (wo)men are created equally and will work for the better good of themselves, most people eat crap because they want to eat crap.
Processed foods feel comfortable and can make us feel good in the moment. But, oh, the havoc those processed carbs wreak on our body. This has been shown time and time again through much research that is published in many reliable “diet” books.

Unfortunately, we often still make the choice to eat the junque. Yes, "WE" includes me.
Junk food junky. 'Memba that song?
One Mrs. Natural's junque is a junk food junkies treasure. Fritos, Dr. Pepper and an Ole Moon Pie.
It really isn't worth eating that stuff. It is bad for your heart, your brain, your cells.
Yet, people feel goaded when told to stop eating that “fun” stuff.
Further fitness goading includes forcing the goadee to take a trip to the (much despised) gym.
What do some people hate about “The Gym”?
That it is a meat market?
That men (and women) grunt?
That people are healthy and fit?
That there is intimidating scary equipment?

Perhaps people just don't like to huff and puff even if they are blowing their own house down.
Pushing the body to do as much as it can or even more than we thought that we could. YUK!!

Right?
Nope, wrong!
Eventually, it is Empowering, Emancipating, and Em”body”ing.
