Weight Loss: It's Not About the Numbers, It's Your Approach!
By Greg Rryan
Today obesity, diabetes and heart disease runs through us at epidemic
levels. Why? The answer lies not in the thousands of different kinds of
diet, weight loss and workout programs offered, the answer lies in the
approach. But, no one wants to talk about that. Do you ever wonder why that
is?
Do we not want to know, or could it have something to do with the
doctor’s and those in the fitness industry not wanting to explain the best
approach to us? Maybe they don’t even know the right way themselves? But, I
think deep down we want and need too know.
Quote:
“While exercise and eating guidelines are based on good scientific
principles, they do not go along with human nature or common sense. Recent
history is telling us this; we are better off with encouraging the mediocre
people who are willing to include exercise in their daily lives, rather than
cramming guidelines down throats that are far beyond the reach of the
majority of people. In the end, keeping things simple combined with support
usually works better.” -- Greg Ryan

Over the years most of us who are out of shape and want to lose a few
pounds and feel a little better about ourselves, developed many different
behaviors toward exercise and food. Some are good ones, but most are just
barriers we have built in our minds. I guess you could also chalk it up to
pure laziness.
However, the bottom line is we are going to continue down the path of
destruction until someone comes up with a plan to help people deal with the
reasons behind such behaviors.
No pill will do it long term, no eight minute ab’s routine will concur
the patterns; the only thing it will take is introspection. But, do we want
to hear that? Maybe, that is just too painful to 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 to ask yourself, “Do I deal with
it now or do I deal with the consequences later? Because that’s really want
it comes down to. Face the truth on your terms today, or face the reality on
life’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 being fed to us
today and it’s also not found so much in the numbers on an exercise chart,
the amount of weight you lift, or the miles on a treadmill.
Our success lies in how willing we are to deal with the roots of the
unwanted behaviors. Figuring out what truly motivates us and developing a
great support system.
Do we really want to continue to put a bandage on bleeding artery? Or do
we get serious and do some mental surgery that takes care of the weight
problem once in for all.
