MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

There was a time last year, when I was losing almost one pound per day by limiting myself to 1000  calories per day, that I thought that I might have a new career. It seemed at the time, that I could help anyone and everyone lose weight. I thought I could be a motivational speaker. I thought I would give lectures and inspire people. There was a small 'window of opportunity' when my desire and will-power where in complete sync. Weight loss seemed easy. I remember so well, thinking that if I could get down to a particular weight, it would be really easy to maintain as I would be able to eat so much more. The eating so much more part, I have mastered. I need to retrain myself to eat a little bit less. I have been very hard on myself lately. I probably should not be quite so negative. Even yesterday, when my scale pointed to 221 lbs, it's not as if I have completely lost control. I am still down 88 lbs from where I started. So, today, I am going to try to concentrate on the positive. And right now, I am going to go to the YMCA for your basic 2 hour workout on an elliptical machine. As I have learned, exercise does not really contribute that much to weight loss, but it does make me feel better after I have done it.  That is reason enough to continue. I simply do not enjoy admitting that there is a part of me that sympathizes with Matt Foley.

Matt Foley is a fictional character from the sketch comedy program Saturday Night Live performed by Chris Farley. Foley is a motivational speaker who exhibits characteristics that someone in that position would not typically have: whereas motivational speakers are typically successful and charismatic, Foley is abrasive, clumsy, and down on his luck. The character was popular in its original run and went on to become one of Farley's best-known characters.
