Work out

Are you working out? We all need to be fit. Just what does that mean? Why are people known to be over weight in alarming numbers? Again I hear the words BMI, Body Mass Index, I believe it means, a one-size "fits all" chart. It all boils down to one thing, everyone has the right answer to correct the problem. Your the problem. That is, if they can get you to agree there is a problem. It means $$$$$ for them.

Now how does all this look when you ask the real questions. Why is everyone over weight? What is in the food? It begins there. How much do you need to eat? Different amounts for individuals, according to your lifestyle. A person mostly "sitting" does not require a lumberjack special. Years prior, women had small waists. I saw my grandmother's boned girdles. Once they tied you up, you couldn't breathe never mind eat. Portions were smaller. The food preparation was different. There was no need for corn syrup and synthetic additives, never mind scientific altered food stuffs. Transportation was mostly your own two feet. And, who made the chart? People are different all over the word. So, who was the model?

If your overweight, the doctor has a revisit. Possibly the pharmaceuticals have a prescription, and the gyms are packed. Weight reduction equipment is purchased. Then comes the special clothing, sneakers and high fiber snacks and bottled water. It will cost you plenty.

Its been going on for years. Not my moms generation, they had to chop wood and do chores.
Now we come to several of the reasons. Laziness. If its not that one, then possibly, could there be something wrong with the chart? One that does not take into consideration all factors, such as: bone size, and muscular structure? We are not all constructed the same, if you've noticed. Each generation produces tallers and bigger people. Knights were only four feet tall, I'm told.

Keep everything into perspective, and everything in moderation. Eat a little less, eat a little better, walk a little more, and do more physical work. Make it part of your daily routine, and it should not add stress to your situation.

If your so inclined to believe that you've got to become extreme to lose a few pounds, then good luck with that. This is not a lifetime change and it won't last. Some people eat to comfort themselves, you've heard of "comfort foods". Food may be replacing another need.

The fact is that most people who are over weight tend to be unhappy, especially couch potatoes. I don't hear many people who want to address that -- possibly because there is no or little profit in it.

People live a lifetime being told what and when to eat, wear, be, do, and all they really need and want is to just be themselves. Maybe once they are, they will be happy and all will be well.
You decide, its just that simple.
