What was your first response when you read the heading for this section? Were you thinking, "waistline or waste-line?" It is a very real possibility you are not happy with the person you see in the mirror. Less so when you step out of the shower! Many of us hope and pray for a steam filled room so the mirror will be foggy when we exit the shower. I know of one client who has actually removed the mirror from their bathroom. Wow!
No need to be fearful, there is hope. The TV show "The Biggest Loser" has raised the awareness of the nationwide epidemic of obesity. That is not too strong a word either. Over the years we as a nation have indeed become much larger than our parents and grandparents were. There are many reasons and many excuses. Remember, a reason is something beyond your control like coming to a stalled train at your crossing when you're trying to get to work on time. An excuse is all yours, such as when you hit snooze on the alarm three times and then come to that stalled train. At that point it's not the train stalling that's causing you to be late!

There are reasons for obesity that are tied to genetics or disease. But reality is only about 40% of all cases are genetic based leaving 60% of obesity that falls squarely on the shoulders of the person. Like my dear wife reminds when I'm working with clients, "it's all about the choices." What choices have you made that have brought you to where you are today? If you could go back knowing what you know now would you make the same choices? You can't go back, but it is NEVER too late to begin controlling your weight through diet and physical activity.
A recent study published online via MedScape noted the increase in obesity and obesity-related problems that are associated with being a sedentary society. Sedentary comes from a Latin term meaning "to sit." This study noted that while there are those with a genetic predisposition toward obesity, an active lifestyle can suppress those genes by as much as 40%! That is a great reason to get up, get moving, and improve your health. Not sure where to begin? I can help. Look for links to "how-to" sites, books, equipment, and program recommendations.

Really, what about this crazy market. Homes all around you are most likely in foreclosure, people you know and love struggling to survive and in some cases have actually lost their homes. Wouldn't you love to know what to do? How to help them? And in the process increase the value of your retirement account! Sounds too good to be true? It is all fact. Check out what Barry and Laurie have to say about their experiences.
Knowledge is power and can be gained through so many channels. The University of Hard Knocks seems to have the most graduates but the fewest alumni actually applying what they've learned. A four-year degree is a great beginning, post-graduate work even better...but such an education doesn't always lead you where you want to be. What about an education that is practical, realistic, and can be applied with the potential for immediate results? It does exist!
Don't wait check out the possibilities now! Are you a skeptic? This will challenge you then, but if you can get beyond your own doubts, the "dream-stealers" with good intentions, and those who are just plain ignorant of the facts, then you can learn, apply and prosper.
