Truth or Consequences - Weight Loss for good!
What if you could actively change the outcome of your life by
eating better and getting daily exercise? What if you felt
better had more energy, less pain, and a better attitude toward
aging? What if you approached life with more confidence, rather
than dreading the day? The fact is you will never know ahead of
time when your life will end. Life, love and logic never seem to
be on the same page. You can leave this earth anytime and for
any reason. How you decide to live those days before you do go
is your choice. You can continue down the path you're going with
achy joints, low energy levels, high stress, and poor eating
habits or you can choose a different path.
The health of America is going to get worse before it gets
better. Diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease-are all
at epidemic levels. And for the first time in history the kids
of today are projected not to live as long as there parents
have. The only way for the health of America to get better is
for all of us to be personally responsible, change our attitudes
toward exercise, and support one another in the process.
In the "good years," more money, more marketing and more-for-me
attitudes enabled us to focus on making the big bucks. It
allowed us to put off worrying about healthy bodies. The accent
was on NOW and not later. But the fiscal wealth we accumulated
years ago is NOW being drained by our physical healthcare costs.
Eventually, our bad health will consume all the extra dollars we
worked so hard to earn. Some of the responsibility falls with
the big corporations, insurance companies and hospital groups.
But at the end of the day, the buck stops with YOU.
The reality of this situation bites; however, the solution is
not to ignore it, but to encourage people to embrace it.
Many of you have either given up on yourself or just flat out
are living in denial. Either way the choice is still yours. The
fact of the matter is there is still hope for America and there
is still hope for you, too.
Don't let the buck stop with you. Take care of your own life
before it takes charge of you.
Why start now? Pay me now or pay me later. I can just hear the
doctors say. With life comes responsibility and with decisions
comes consequences. It's your choice today to do something
positive. Tomorrow it may be out of your hands. Remember the
three underlying emotions that keep us from taking better care
of ourselves: denial, pride, and laziness. Consciously or
subconsciously, this threesome is the root of why most Americans
have allowed themselves to get in the shape they are in.
Are you one of them? Chances are sooner or later one or all
three will be riding with you in the car to the hospital. Have
you found yourself saying these things?
