Of all the health problems facing Americans today, perhaps the one that causes the most problems, and at the same time is the most preventable, is being overweight.
Most people are overweight today. And most people are aware of the other problems that can come with it. Health problems, emotional problems, and self-esteem problems.
The startling paradox is that while we keep getting bigger and bigger, there seems to be more and more diets, and pills, and books dedicated to helping you to lose weight.
If you go into any large bookstore, you'll find the diet section filled with books on ways to lose weight. Some make a lot of sense, some are based on ideas that may or may not have an impact on anything other than the author's bank account.
One possible reason it can seem so hard to lose weight, is that often times we think of getting slim as something unpleasant we do once, and then forget about it, like having your wisdom teeth pulled.
If you've ever gone on a diet, you know it is a little bit more involved than that. It requires tremendous willpower. There are many deeper reasons other than simply eating and exercising. What are some of them?
Most of us work at jobs where we don't need to move around all that much. There has been a lot of these jobs created in recent years. And because we are so busy, it can be impossible to take the time to eat properly. We are surrounded by too many easy choices.
If we don't put much thought into our health, it is almost automatic that we become overweight. The only way out of this problem is to make a conscious choice to change our lifestyle.
Of course, this is easier said than done. The only way this really works is to make small, easy to live with changes. As these small changes make their way into our everyday activities, you can really start to notice some bigger changes over the long run.
