Today obesity, diabetes, and heart disease run throughus at epidemic levels. Why? The answer lies not in thethousands of different kinds of diet, weight loss and workoutprograms offered, the answer lies in the approach.But, no one wants to talk about that. Do you ever wonder whythat is?

Do we not want to know, or could it have somethingto do with the doctor's and those in the fitnessindustry not wanting to explain the best approachto us? Maybe they don't even know the right waythemselves? But, I think deep down we want and needtoo know.

Quote:

"While exercise and eating guidelines are based on goodscientific principles, they do not go along with human natureor common sense. Recent history is telling us this; we are betteroff with encouraging the mediocre people who are willing toinclude exercise in their daily lives, rather than crammingguidelines down throats that are far beyond the reach of themajority of people. In the end, keeping things simple combinedwith support usually works better." -- Greg Ryan

Over the years most of us who are out of shape andwant to lose a few pounds and feel a little betterabout ourselves, developed many different behaviorstoward exercise and food. Some are good ones, butmost are just barriers we have built in our minds. I guessyou could also chalk it up to pure laziness.

However, the bottom line is we are going to continue downthe path of destruction until someone comes up with a planto help people deal with the reasons behind such behaviors.

No pill will do it long term, no eight minute ab's routine willconcur the patterns; the only thing it will take is introspection.But, do we want to hear that? Maybe, that is just too painfulto even think about right now.

Do you mean I will have to take a good long look at myself?Maybe so. At the end of the day, you are going to have toask yourself, "Do I deal with it now or do I deal with theconsequences later? Because that's really what it comes downto. Face the truth on your terms today, or face the reality onlife's terms down the road in a hospital bed.

I chose to deal with it now.

So where is the magic? It's not in the pills or programs beingfed to us today and it's also not found so much in the numberson an exercise chart, the amount of weight you lift, or the mileson a treadmill.

Our success lies in how willing we are to deal with the rootsof the unwanted behaviors. Figuring out what truly motivatesus and developing a great support system.

Do we really want to continue to put a bandage on a bleeding artery?Or do we get serious and do some mental surgery that takes careof the weight problem once in for all.
