Weight Loss for Good – If Only You Had Known?

IF ONLY YOU HAD KNOWN!
I didn’t have much time to pack my bags that day; matter of fact, I‘m
still wearing the same clothes I put on that morning .I met all three of
them on the way up here. They said they would hitch a ride, but they were
not sure they would be welcome where I was going.
I thought it was unusual to learn how much they knew about me. Did I
meet them at some restaurant my family and I went to? Did I see them at
the doctor’s office? I know, maybe it was at a bunko party or the golf
course? I just couldn’t put my finger on how I knew them until today.
It’s pretty nice here though—peaceful, always something to do, good
conversation. However, I sure miss my family. I wish I didn’t have to
leave them soon, but how would I have known?
The three of them said they warned me time and time again. How? When?
Where? I wondered. I thought I read all the right books and talked to the
right people. I even participated at times.
Lazy was probably the one I got along with the best during that short
time we spent together. He was the only transparent one of the three.
Others might have thought if they saw us together we were twins. We were
so much alike.
The other two were much more reserved and timid. Don’t let those guys
fool you. I learned quickly they were stubborn old boys with rough
edges—two of the biggest know-it-alls I had ever met. They called
themselves Denial and Pride. And if you ever met them, I think you would
agree they were named correctly.
As I crossed the line, I will never forget what they said to me as we
raised our hands to each other and waved goodbye, “If only you had known.”
The health of America is going to get worse before it gets better.
Diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease—are all at epidemic levels.
And for the first time in history the kids of today are projected not to
live as long as there parents have. The only way for the health of America
to get better is for all of us to be personally responsible, change our
attitudes toward exercise, and support one another in the process.
The silent threesome of denial, pride, and lazy has been muted by the
fantasy fitness land programs promises immediate results. This silent
treatment is killing you from the INSIDE OUT.
Until a few years ago, it was thought that Americans were healthy. Of
course, that’s not true. We’ve had a health problem for years.
We have had a head problem, too. Most of us think that by ignoring
them, our bodies will miraculously get better. Doctor’s saw this coming,
but what did they do about it? My doctor’s answer was, “Take two pills and
call me in the morning.” (Sound familiar?)
THE BUCK STOPS WHERE?
In the “good years,” more money, more marketing and more-for-me
attitudes enabled us to focus on making the big bucks. It allowed us to
put off worrying about healthy bodies. The accent was on NOW and not
later. But the fiscal wealth we accumulated years ago is NOW being drained
by our physical healthcare costs. Eventually, our bad health will consume
all the extra dollars we worked so hard to earn.
Some of the responsibility falls with the big corporations, insurance
companies and hospital groups. But at the end of the day, the buck stops
with YOU. The reality of this situation bites; however, the solution is
not to ignore it, but to encourage people to embrace it. Many of you have
either given up on yourself or just flat out are living in denial. Either
way the choice is still yours. The fact of the matter is there is still
hope for America and there is still hope for you, too.
Don’t let the buck stop with you. If you don’t know what to do, ask
people like me to help you. Do what ever it takes, before it takes care of
you!
