It is no longer what I can do to food but what it can do to
me!!!
Choices, portions, timing, content, environment, self-pride
and genetics all play a role. Self-pride in how we look and how we are viewed
is ignored.
Choices refer to the types of food we consume. Ethnic
upbringing and family traditions help create these choices. Celebrations are centered upon food and
ingrained from childhood. Social activities relentlessly move toward eating and
sitting usually late at night as we age.
Aging decreases the natural caloric burn in our bodies. We
become enthralled with alcohol as a social interaction and necessity.
Appetizers and bread before meals enhances carbohydrate intake and changes the mechanisms
we are born with to handle high carbohydrate food items.
We have all been led astray by unscientific observations and
zombie statistics perpetrated upon us by medicine and money focused food
lobbies.
Advertising is a reinforcement of our family experiences.
Because we pay to eat out we feel obligated to finish our meals that are
gargantuan in proportion to our needs.
We become ostriches in effect. We keep our head in the sand,
avoid the daily scale assessments of our control, buy new clothes and allow our
right frontal lobe to no loner accurately assess our appearance.
You can get rid of these if you undertake a real life style
change. It is never to late to be healthy and to live better longer.
