Obesity. The epidemic of the 21st century and lo and behold you find yourself a part of it. I look around on a daily basis and see all these people with the huge spare tire hanging clear to their middle thighs. This is not healthy! This causes so many physical ailments, not to mention the money it takes to fix the problems that could have been avoided in the first place. Diabetes, considered one of the most dangerous ailments due to obesity, leads into kidney failure and even death. Who in their right mind wants to die because they can't put the fork down? Another major problem that will really come into play in later years is the stress on your joints, especially the knees. Have you seen the cost of knee surgery lately?
Stop super sizing your portions! Nobody needs that much food in one sitting. Not to mention, eating fast food is not a healthy choice. Staying at home and cooking fresh food is the absolute way to go. Eating out should be a treat in moderation. We all like to go out to eat, but we are in control of our own choices. Make the right food choices and you will notice a difference in mental and physical health. For instance, by drinking one less 12oz can of soda a day you would intake 52,195 less calories which equals almost 15 pounds a year. Not to mention, that same can of soda is the same as taking 10 teaspoons of sugar mixed in water and drinking.
One good start would be to eat smaller portions more often throughout the day. The next step is to get up off the couch and take a walk or go outside and play with the kids. The key here is to do something, anything that will increase your metabolism and burn off what you just ate. Then last but still very important is to stop eating after a certain time every night. About 2 to 3 hours before going to bed, and NOT getting up in the middle of the night and raiding the frig.
Life is full of choices and losing weight is a major lifestyle change which requires motivation and commitment. Just like a marriage, it takes lots of work in the beginning but the pay off in the long run will make life so much more beneficial. The lessons you will be teaching your kids will pay off as well, with childhood obesity being in epidemic proportions this will be a lesson they can live with everyday.
It's human nature for people to want to help others and that's exactly why my wife and I are writing to the masses of America. Everybody seems to want that instant gratification these days but there is nothing fast about losing weight and being physically fit. It's a life long goal that will become second nature in time. Just think of all the money you can save by planning your diet with a little effort in exercising every day. You don't have to join a gym and make someone else rich. The money you would spend there you can use to buy a few items to use in the privacy of your own home on your time schedule.
