Lose It For Life

The emotional stability of any person can be a close reflection of how, what, when, where, and why they eat. With the daily increase of obesity in America, comes the question—Why? I believe that the answer lies in genetics and self-esteem. Diets are like vending machines, there are many so many options to choose from. Each diet has its own philosophy; one diet promotes pills to increase metabolism, while the other promotes eating their products. The expectation of so many eager costumers is to loose the weight fast, and for good. However, when any person goes on a “diet”, they are focused on seeing physical change without seeing psychological change. Not only does one need to have the right mind set and attitude, but they must also have substantial eating and exercising habits in place. Balancing a healthy lifestyle for your body and your mind is the biggest challenge. No one can change their genetic make-up completely, however, I believe that anyone can make a difference in their life and the lives of those around them if they focus on their mental/emotional state, as well as their physical state. You may lose thirty pounds, but will you get them back? You decide.
