Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 's Daily Message WednesdayJanuary 23, 2008YRUFATT Does the title of this message remind you of anything? Those of you who were around nearly 30 years ago should know what I`m talking about. See, when I did the Show, way back in the very early 80`s, I opened the show by driving up to the TV studio, getting out of my car, clicking my heels and dashing into the studio to start the show. As I left the shot, the camera would zoom in for a close-up of my car`s license plate which read, YRUFATT. (And, that`s right, with two "t`s!") Well, the other day, while cleaning out the storage area of my garage, guess what I found? Yep, that original license plate from my car, made famous on the opening of the Show. That`s right, it was my old YRUFATT plate! Oh, such memories...I thought it was gone forever. But it looked as good as it did when I first got it! I can remember the day I came up with the idea for that plate. I wanted something really unique and when the idea hit me, I called up the DMV and told them how I wanted my new plates to read. They all laughed but no one else had spoken for that plate and so, within a few days...it was mine! After I put the plates on my car, everywhere I went, people would notice. Sometimes in traffic, another car would pull up to me. It was obvious they had noticed my plates. As they pulled up, they`d yell out to me I don`t know why! But you have to admit, my plates asked a very good question, didn`t they? I know that reading those plates made a lot of people think about their lives and their weight. Looking back, I can ask myself my own question, though...Why was I fat? The answer is easy. I was fat simply because I had such a strong relationship with food and from a very early age, too. Yes, I worshiped God but I worshipped breakfast, lunch and dinner, too. I`d kneel to pray but I also kneeled when I walked past one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans! No matter how bad I felt about something, I could always turn to food and it was always there, ready to make me feel good. So, have you ever asked yourself...why are you fat? Well, I want you to ask yourself that question today. Really, take a little time out of your day and ask yourself that question. Contemplate why your own relationship with food is so strong. I`d like you to even record in your journal the emotions that set off the trigger in your head to overeat. Could it be because of boredom, loneliness, insecurity or so many other reasons? Once you figure out the answer, you`ll be better able to understand the root causes of your weight problem. YRUFATT? Well, remember, you do not have to be fat. You know what you need to do to lose this weight in 2008 so make this your year to lose it! Hmmm, I think I`ll see if I can`t get that license plate renewed!
