Fitting in , So much of life is a struggle to fit in , from early school years and needing to find friends, so we are not alone, to middle and high school where we have to create an identity so that we have friends and people we fit in with
Creating labels as we go so that somewhere we "fit in" Jocks, Brains, Hippies,Goths,Geeks
Looking for that elusive weight loss, or exercise pill so we can regain our health we look to "fit in" a new smaller size size 4-6 seems to be the most common goal I hear from most women- they just want to be a single digit size.
For some of us that size may be one that we have never "really" fit in as adults, and it seems like an impossible dream , there is so much hype and blather out in the public about what we need to do to lose 5 lb this month , or 30lbs in 30 days on the cover of every other magazine in the checkout Aisle.
Television shows that every few days seem to hype some new magic pill, ( yeah Dr Oz I'm looking at you...)
Here in the USA we are the FATTEST nation in the world ..
lets let that sink in ..
the FATTEST NATION in THE WORLD...
we struggle with diet and exercise, and somethings occur to me
Based on my TV package
I have 3 separate television channels devoted to food, Food Network the Cooking Channel and Travel Channel (which is about 70% food programming)
and ZERO devoted to exercise.
We are obsessed with models, movie and tv stars and looking thin , and being thin,yet we do nothing or little about it ,
Sticking to or Quitting a diet, more people understand quitting than do sticking with an exercise and eating plan , food is abundant - it surrounds us every day,
we have to consciously exercise resistance to the abundance around us.
Its much easier to stay thin in life if you have never been overweight..
let that lesson sink in for a while especially if you are a parent...
We will talk more soon.
