Yes ther...Personally i find obesity to be a choice. Yes there are many factors which influence what a person decides to do about their diet & exercise needs, but at the end of each decision made it is them making it. Sure, there are some exceptional examples out there where a persons obesity is completely out of their control, but they are just that, so very few exceptions. The rise in obesity is not the fault of the industries producing more and more low quality processed food for the population to purchase, it is the population choosing to purchase and consume bad choices. I accept all responsibility for my own obesity.<br /><br />-Patrick<br />http://responsibility199.wordpress.com/Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534171345610201608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184348351329402288.post-27002932838583247812012-06-23T11:04:18.317-04:002012-06-23T11:04:18.317-04:00SFG; It has to be more than coincidence that I was...SFG; It has to be more than coincidence that I was led to your post yesterday right after I had posted this.

Mental stamina for making choices is limited, and making difficult ones continuously is too hard emotionally. We have to take a holistic approach to all changes in life and most people are taxed to their limits most of the time with things other than food and exercise. Once people realize this, they may be able to seek a balance among all of their choices that include a slow path toward greater health and wellness.screaming fatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556199963917842135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184348351329402288.post-57071054677724497022012-06-23T05:24:19.066-04:002012-06-23T05:24:19.066-04:00I can only speak for myself, but I think unhealthy...I can only speak for myself, but I think unhealthy eating is entirely emotional. I absolutely use food to regulate my feelings. I eat when I'm angry, when I'm sad, when I'm bored and, of course, happy. Food as punishment? Absolutely. I'm not pretty/smart/interesting anyway, so what does it matter if I eat this unhealthy mess? Getting into a space of demotivation is the worst thing you can let yourself do. If I do, then I eat, eat, eat, feel bad, and eat some more. <br /><br />The flip side of that is the danger of using food to celebrate. Hey, I've done so well this week, I've earned this cake.DancingCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954687734140664793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184348351329402288.post-7503389678268491212012-06-22T12:08:33.590-04:002012-06-22T12:08:33.590-04:00Not sure if my original comments went through on m...Not sure if my original comments went through on my ipad. Here goes again. I agree with the fact that we know but yet we choose otherwise. What drives that? In listening to Debbie Ford, there was some truth in that the guilty feel they need to be punished. We make bad choice when we feel bad about ourselves or circumstances. That resonates with me. Looking forward to checking out your blog! <br /><br />Here's to discovering the drive and making the change. Rock On! <br /><br />AnitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
