Any major lifestyle change requires a lot of effort. When the change you want to make involves your weight, it becomes even more difficult. Having a conversation about weight is taboo. Nobody wants to talk about their own weight and nobody wants to mention it to someone else. If you or someone you know had serious illness like cancer or diabetes people would have no problem talking about it. The fact is, obesity leads to illnesses like cancer and diabetes. It also increases the risk factors for others like stroke and heart disease. So why do people want to wait until these diseases effect you to talk about the causes and risk factors.Most don't view obesity as a disease (me included) they don't think it is worth talking about. However, because obesity increases risk factors it is just as dangerous as the disease itself. You are only person that is going to make the changes necessary to accomplish your goals. You will have ups and downs and but you will always have a support system {friends, family & me} You never will go through anything alone!
As Dr. Seuss quotes “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

ReplyDeleteAwesome babe! You hit it right on.
ReplyDeleteThis is what people need to learn about their health. Let me say that obesity also leads to strokes, cholesterol problems, reflux, joint problems, etc. Huge Kudos to you and Bruce for caring about you and your friend enough to nip it in the bud NOW! So, my prayer is that your friends, their friends, your family will ALL listen up and start making improvements in their bodies now and not wait until they have one of the things you and I mentioned before their light comes on.
