Those of you who know me probable had to do a double take when reading the title of this post. Yes I’m known for personal responsibility. I do believe that changing anything starts with taking responsibility. It does not matter if it is: poor athletic performance, troubled business or our health.
However a great deal of responsibility “fault” lies on our selfish society no doubt. Retailers and advertiser do not have your best interest at heart. They are not responsible for your health just their profits so they can pay their employees etc… And selfishness is not something the government will ever be able to regulate though they will try through taxation.
Before I go any further it is important to understand that a small percentage of the population about 8% (This percentage is something I remember reading in a medical journal a while back so it may not be total accurate) of people trying to figure out how to lose body weight are overweight because of some medical conditions. The remainders of us are overweight because of lack of discipline and knowledge that many times will lead to medical condition.
It’s not your fault that sugar tastes so good… It’s not your fault that fatty meats taste so good… It’s not your fault that French fries taste so good… unfortunately it is our fault when we don’t use self control and self-control is hard for anyone. I know because I love chocolate-chip cookies and even chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream but that is what had me looking for the best way to eliminate belly fat…
The good news is you don’t have to remain trapped where you are. I’m not suggesting the cold turkey approach because that doesn’t work for a lot of people. How about next time you decide to have that bowl of ice-cream you try 1 1/2 scoops instead of 2. Just start by cutting back a little and get some help… we all know we all can use it. Take care of your body it’s the only one you have.
