Some comparison, huh? And I remark upon the fact not lightly.
Statistically, 60 per cent of the world’s population is currently overweight……and the numbers are growing. (as are the butts)
Some of us are more overweight than others. I haven’t seen the exact numbers; but am only too well aware that my ranking in the “morbidly obese” category will statistically and significantly verify my claim in the title for this morning’s musing.
Today is February 1st. That means that Gayle and I will be posting our latest “progress” pictures and statistics at our website. Take a look….if you dare. Just be prepared….”IT AIN’T A PRETTY SIGHT”.
Last September we decided to get serious about our weight problems. The pictures I took of the two of us more than made clear the absolute need to do so. Pride, vanity and shame made it very difficult to pose for those pictures; and, once viewed, those same pictures made the challenge of the task we faced seemed almost insurmountable.
(Did I mention that I neglected to tell my bride that I planned to display our “porkritude” on the Internet? “UNCONSCIONABLE” is one of the few words, fit to print, that I heard a lot during those first few days back in September.)
When the dust finally settled, and we were once again speaking at a normal decibel level, we simply had to acknowledge that, what was now viewable on the Internet, was nothing that our friends and family hadn’t been seeing for years. Ignoring the problem was doing nothing physically, mentally or emotionally for any of us.
September was our turning point. Today could be yours. And though I don’t advise a unilateral decision to post your own personal challenge on the ‘Net; I do advise asking yourself if your commitment to change is strong enough to enable you to, at least, consider such a step.
If you’re not quite there yet, Gayle and I both recommend Tom Venuto’s latest best selling book: THE BODY FAT SOLUTION
Sensible, easy to follow recommendations—not mandates.
Begin with an understanding of your weight problem; and then expand on that knowledge, to allow your body to very naturally regain a lean and healthy condition.
If you don’t want to wait for Amazon to ship, or for you to find the time to make that long drive to your local bookstore, visit Mr. Venuto’s website BY CLICKING HERE: BURN THE FAT…FEED THE MUSCLE. You’ll be glad you did. Your “camera shy” spouse will probably be even more glad that you did.
