Die Fat or Get Tough?

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a book that really intrigued me: “Die Fat or Get Tough” by Steve Siebold. ‘101 Differences in Thinking Between Fat People and Fit People’.

Steve Siebold is a professional speaker, teaching mental toughness. As per Steve, acquiring and possessing this mental toughness is the key to a successful life, no matter what you strive for. It can be applied to all aspects of your life, and is necessary to achieve your goals, be it for successful weight loss or financial prosperity.


What is mental toughness? 

Here are some definitions:
  • Mental toughness is doing whatever is necessary to get the job done.
  • A mentally tough person is self-motivated and self-directed. He/she does not need to be pushed from outside as he/she is controlled from within. 
  • Mental Toughness is having a physiological edge that enables you to be consistent, confident, focused, and determined during high-pressure situations in order to perform at maximum potential.

“Die Fat or Get Tough” is not politically correct literature. It is blunt. It probably will offend some. It’s not written to make you feel good. It’s written to cut through your delusional thinking. It’ll make you take off your pink glasses, and take a good hard look at yourself.

“Die Fat at Get Tough” bluntly states that getting fat is your fault (unless you have a medical condition or psychological disorder). There really is nobody else to blame. Step one is to own this and stop blaming everybody else.

Does this intrigue you or does this offend you?
If you’re offended by this intro, please don’t come back here.
However, if this piques your curiosity, and you’d like to explore the differences in thinking between fat people and fit people with me – more to come, please stand by.
