"I am obese". Have you said that to yourself lately? You are not alone. Statistics show that the percent of people "suffering" from obesity in America and around the world keep on increasing day by day, and year by year.
Obesity is not a disease. It (on the most part) is merely a result of poor lifestyle choice. Looking back, every moment you chose to eat that Big Mac, or Burger King's Triple Whopper with cheese, you became closer to this fateful result.
But the good news is that there is always a way out. No matter how deep in the web of unhealthiness you are, there is still a way out. Obesity, can be, BUT, does not have to be a permanent state. You can lose weight and become healthy. But for that to work, you have to realize that you are powerful. You are the only one who can change the situation you are in right now. You are the sole person who can decide your tomorrow.
Some people become overweight because they look at food as comfort. If you are one of those, I would like to tell you that food is merely a source through which your physical body gets its nutrients from. It DOES NOT have any emotional power to make you feel better. It DOES NOT have the power to make you feel small. Your mind is the one who has that power. Food won't cure your depression, anxiety, or loneliness. Don't look at food for support. They don't have the power to support you. In fact, they can't even support itself. It needs YOU to digest it.
Anyways, my point is that YOU are the one with the power. Don't give food that authority over your life. If your happiness solely revolves around what you are going to have in your next meal, then you have some serious thinking to do. Because life is so much more than that. It is beautiful, it is colorful. It has some amazing people who are just waiting to be a part of your life. The moment you realize that your existence is important to this universe, the closer you will be to become liberated from this trap of unhealthiness or any other feelings of worthlessness and misery.
Now, for those people who are overweight because they chose to live an inactive life, and also chose to indulge in the most unhealthy food they could ever find. My answer is simple: You made two wrong choices. Unhealthy food and unhealthy lifestyle choice can only yield horrible health results. Life is too short anyways, and you are making it even shorter by leading an unhealthy lifestyle. Laziness can cost you your life. I am sure you already know how much of life you are missing. If you have enough power to make that decision to eat a whole box of cheese pizza, believe it or not, you also have enough power to make that decision to go for a walk.
Life is happening right now, at this moment. Don't let anymore moment go to waste. Decide to be healthy right now. And in fact act on it. I know you can do it. Don't wait till tomorrow. It wont come. It never does. It is just your laziness trying to take you over. Just give it a try. You would never ever regret it.
Next time when you look in the mirror, instead of saying "I am obese", say, " I am a miracle just waiting to happen, and when it happens only I can decide".
