So I Googled the lyrics and then did a find & replace. I replaced every instance of "love" with "fat loss" & here is what I came up with (sorry if it runs on long):
I need fat loss, fat loss
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said fat loss don't come easy
Its a game of give and take
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a fat loss
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah
Its almost gone
I remember mama said:
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said fat loss don't come easy
Its a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?
No I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a fat loss to call my own
But when I feel that i, I cant go on
These precious words keeps me hanging on
I remember mama said:
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said fat loss don't come easy
Its a game of give and take
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, fat loss, fat loss, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But mama said:
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said fat loss don't come easy
Its a game of give and take
No I have not gone off the deep end. On the contrary I have made a new association to an old Motown classic that I will never listen to the same way again. I'll think of FAT, the coalition and the beginning of my journey every time I hear Diana (or Phil Collins) sing this song.
And for those of you who have read this in it's entirety, you are now rewarded with my latest picture (11/1 at 5:30 am). Holy sh*t. This plan actually works. I discarded 2 inches from my waist and I will soon be out of the 40" waist club. Hot damn! There was no change in the scale weight, but it's not like I care since the proof is in the pictures.

haha, not sure I agree with you about the "deep end" comment :)
Love the post. That song has been changed forever in my mind. This here is so true couldnt have said it better if I tried:
"You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said to TRUST, GIVE IT TIME
NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES
You cant hurry fat loss
No, you just have to wait
She said FAT LOSS DONT COME EASY
ITS A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE"
So true and appropriate - I might have to post that as a reminder somewhere on my blog.
SWWWWWeat(!) on your 2 inches being eternally gone. I love your attitude about the scale, the truth is in the pics for sure. Youre getting it done!
LOL, I love your song :) Great job on the 2 inches, the pictures truly show it!
Holy crap - those pictures are based on only 7 pounds? That's awesome, man.
And you're right about the song - so many things I hear on the Ipod remind me of weight loss.
Opening lyrics of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" -
"Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity - To seize everything you ever wanted in One moment - would you capture it or just let it slip?"
This is our one opportunity. Capture it.
Love the song, Gene. It's great, because after almost seven months of doing this, it helps me find a new way to look at the same old thing. And good job on the waist loss. To hell with the scale if the fat is going bye-bye.
Like they say pictures speak for themselves. Looks like you have made big improvements. Your body composition must really be changing for the better.
It's been an intense 2+ weeks for sure. I have to attribute a lot of the success to 12/14 days of clean eating. Plus, tabatas are the ticket for fat loss, at least for me anyway.
Already such an improvement!! Those pictures are truly inspirational. They make me want to work that much harder! Keep up the great work Gene.
Damn, boy! Those pics are amazing. Great job!!
hilarious! its true though, I often wish i could just wake up thin, especially after making all these major changes. sometimes i feel like im working my ass off to lose a mere pound a week. but its worth the wait. i just create the mental picture of myself at my goal weight to get the adrenaline rush that pushes me off that negative train of thought. our persistance WILL pay off!
Big changes already...keep it up!
