People making a choice are able to look at consequences of their decision. People who avoid looking at consequences have a problem.

3. Am I willing to take full responsibility for my choice?

If I end up in a hospital bed because of a heart attack, am I going to be satisfied with my decision to have done nothing about my health? If I saw my family suffer because of my health problems or due to my death, would I still feel I had done right thing?

If you can honestly look at consequences of your decision and take responsibility, then it is a choice. If you can't then you have a problem.

What if I have a problem?

You are lucky. Problems can be solved, and you can only begin solving a problem once you have admitted having one. If you can review these questions and admit to having a problem you have taken most important first step towards improving your health. Congratulations.

Remember, having right diet and getting enough exercise will not only improve your health- IT WILL IMPROVE YOU LIFE.
