Extreme Obesity Is On The Rise

According to the Fox News report America just keeps getting bigger and bigger. This is truly a crisis that will cost a whole lot of money in the near future. I've heard of some insurance plans giving incentives for people to join health clubs. I think that's a turn in the right direction.

I've struggled with my weight all my life and at times have just given up. It finally came down to some quality of life issues. The bigger I've gotten, the grumpier I've become and the less energy I have for my family. Watching men at church 10-15 years older than me with tons of energy made me come to a decision. Do I want to be all slow and tired or do I want to have some real energy. I finally made the choice and backed it up with actions. It's been over five months now and it's been a drastic change in my life. Now, if I can do it, almost anyone else can. No matter how much weight I lose though, I can never go back. I'm like an alcoholic in terms of eating crap and being lazy. I've had to really fight off those tendencies lately, as I was under the weather for a few days.
