Obesity Or Smoking...Hmmm, Which One Will Kill You First?

2007-10-19T18:06:00.000-07:00

Well can you believe this?

It has just been reported that Obesity will kill you before smoking does!

That is just amazing. Hell, I can start smoking again....NOT!

But seriously, according to the report, cigarette smoking cuts the average lifespan by ten years, while being seriously overweight can trim life expectancy by 13 years. The report says the obesity crises is so bad in the UK that if will take at least 30 years – nearly two generations – to reverse.

So, what are you going to do TODAY about YOUR weight issues?

Facts On Obesity

2007-09-13T17:43:00.000-07:00

1 BILLION OVERWEIGHT ADULTS AND 300 MILLION OF THOSE OBESE!

Isn't that just a frightening statistic! But, sadly it's accurate. It's a statistic from the World Health Organization.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions and it's just alarming. Not a day passes by now that I'm not hearing, reading and seeing an article about Obesity.

It's the eating habits of people living on fast food. People just don't seem to have the time or the inclination to eat a fresh healthy meal.

The associated health issues are going to spiral in years to come so people need to heed the warning and start working on their personal weight issues now!

I for one am!

How Do You Shop For Food?

2007-07-07T18:39:00.000-07:00

Shopping is the key to weight loss.

So many people wander into the big supermarket and start by wandering up and down the rows in the supermarket. Picking up a can of this, a bag of that and a jar of stuff.

STOP! You should be shopping around the outside isles of the supermarket! That is where you will find your fresh fruit and vegetables, your fresh cuts of meat, chicken & fish.

You really only need to shop for staples, like flour, rice, butter (olive oil) and wholegrain cereals.

These are the foundation of a healthy, nutritious diet. Not all that processed crap that they shove heaps of preservatives, colors and flavorings into. Have you ever noticed the correlation between all those ingredients and the rise of ADD and ADHD syndrome??? Well that's another story.

Is There A Link Between Alzheimer's Disease and Obesity?

2007-06-27T00:16:00.000-07:00

A very interesting read regarding a possible connection between Dementia and Obesity.

A growing body of research raises concern that two of our most prevalent health fears - obesity and dementia - may have a link. An investigation first published about four years ago followed a group of 226 Swedish women and 166 men for 18 years. None of the study subjects had dementia at the start of the study. Those women who were obese or overweight, however, had a significantly increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease as they grew older. There were too few men in the study to draw any conclusions, either way, about excess weight and Alzheimer's risk.

However, I have two family members who suffer from Dementia/Alzheimer's Disease and neither have ever had a weight problem in their lives!

People Just "THINK" they aren't overweight!

2007-06-24T17:04:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how many Americans in a recent survey "think" they aren't even overweight!

A staggering 52% surveyed thought they were only overweight, when in fact some of them were obese and even morbidly obese.

It just makes you wonder doesn't it? The survey also revealed that most people don't even realize what a BMI (Body Mass Index) is and that it's a brilliant guide to revealing how overweight you are.

Childhood Obesity Epidemic

2007-06-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

Childhood Obesity has hit epidemic proportions according to this latest article I've been reading.

American kids have never been as fat and as unhealthy as they are right now - shocking when you think about it!

With figures like 17% to 33% of all kids being obese or overweight it's tragic.

Personally I still believe it comes down to the parents...sorry, but seriously, the kids aren't the ones doing the shopping, the kids aren't the ones preparing the meals, the kids aren't the ones stocking the cupboards with chips, soda and fatty foods.

People wake up - get a grip on reality, obesity kills!

The Cause of Obesity

2007-06-10T05:56:00.000-07:00

Causes and Risk Factors of Obesity
Until recently, obesity was considered the result of a sedentary lifestyle and the chronic ingestion of excess calories. This may be the principal factor for many individuals, but there is evidence of strong genetic, metabolic, and environmental influences in the development of obesity. Certain illnesses, such as Cushing’s syndrome or hypothyroidism, and medications, such as glucocorticoids, can also cause obesity. However, less than one percent of all obese patients have an identifiable secondary cause of obesity.

Obesity - Fight With Fibre

2007-06-03T19:15:00.000-07:00

Fibre is extremely important when it comes to fighting the effects of obesity.

It can speed up the effect of food passing through your system instead of the rubbish that is consumed which just sits and decays and festers in your system.

Really, try adding some fibre to your diet today. It can be as simple as adding some green vegetables.

Feel Great & Look Great!

2007-05-30T22:32:00.000-07:00

If you don't look good you feel crappy, right? You know I am!

So do something about it, every single day. It can be as simple as applying some fake tan, that always makes a person look healthier.

Get a haircut, new hair color, now that's always a good one!

Take yourself to a good bookshop too and grab a couple of really good self help books about dealing with issues and read them, every night.

Reading at night is great because as you fall off to sleep what you've just read remains in your mind and you can dream it and ponder it all night and wake up feeling fantastic and changed the next morning.

Come on, do it!

Chase Those Morbidly Obese Blues Away

2007-05-30T04:52:00.000-07:00

Wow had the best day!

A bunch of my girlfriends and I went Op Shopping today for outrageous new clothes.

I now have a totally new look to go with my 6lb lighter body! This is the best tonic for every small weight loss you have.

Wearing a new outfit all the time always makes us women feel better about ourselves, but we can't always afford it, right? Not anymore, Thrift Shop, here we come!

It's terrible having to wear our fat clothes and not wishing to buy new clothes until we reach our goal weight, so...why not fill up with gaps with cheap second hand outfits?

Works for me! And, we had just the best time trying on all the different looks, like 60's, 70's and 80's. I got a whole new outfit, dress, jacket, beads, boots, handbag and even a wild hat all for under $30! Wild eh!

Try it ladies, drop a few pounds and do it, then drop some more pounds and do it again.

We're Off And Running

2007-05-27T17:33:00.000-07:00

Well a light jog anyways.

So with the last of the chocolate stash consumed and washed down with a nice brew of coffee off I went to bed. Could I sleep? No! Combine the coffee with the strong dark chocolate and I was lying awake for hours. Serves me right!

So this morning I awoke jumped on the scales...argh! Took measurements....nasty, and dragged on the gym gear.

I picked a set program and started walking at a nice pace until bam! I'm running and holding onto those handle bars for dear life trying not to fall off, I couldn't push those buttons fast enough....wish I'd had a camera going.

So after my heart beat resumed a "normal" beat and I could draw in air without gagging on it, I resumed my workout.

So after 20 minutes of running in bursts and walking at a brisk pace, I'm done! For today anyway.

I'm actually thinking of turning my garage into a home gym, I've bought enough stuff over the years to deck one out, that's for sure!

We'll see......stay tuned.

Oh, and leave your support messages for me in the comments, won't you? I could do with the support.

Exercise Is Key To Weight Loss

2007-05-26T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well I managed to eat most of my chocolate stash (did I say that outloud)!

Today IS a new day and motivated and pumped, ready for action I bounded out of bed, pulled on the workout clothes and launched myself at the electric treadmill.

Off I went walking at a moderate 5kph for the next 20 minutes. It could have been longer, I agree, but I did work up a small sweat.

Anyways, the point is you have to make a start and build on it! I did that! I will continue to do that! WILL YOU????

So check out this ladies attempt (no I am not laughing)!

Just One More Treat

2007-05-25T19:42:00.000-07:00

It's a hard ask going on a diet. I know, I've "been there, done that" more than once AND guess what I'm going there AGAIN!!!

Sheesh, you get everything under control and think mmmmm, I'll just have that "little" piece of chocolate, (which turns into the whole bloody bar) and I'll just have a "little" chippy (which turns into the whole bag)...you get the picture, right?

So, here it is, I'm fighting with the desire to be slimmer and the desire to eat food - hell that's why we get overweight in the first place, right! Because we love food!

I know the answer is to eat right AND don't get me wrong I love to eat right too. Nothing gets my juices flowing more than a Thai beef salad with ice cold water to chase it all down.

You feel better and you look better when you eat well.

So follow allow, hold my hand, God knows I need somebody to hold my hand and I'll shed those pounds, come hell or high water.

(Now I'll just finish off that stashed chocolate bar first)....

Hospitals Are Trying To Deal With Obesity Crisis

2007-05-24T20:43:00.000-07:00

Hospitals are now having to try and cope with more and more morbidly obese patients.

These morbidly obese people require specialist facilities such as beds able to contain their extreme weight as well as chairs wide enough to house their large frames.

The public will no doubt have to bear these additional costs in taxation payments.
