Are you one of them? Chances are sooner or later one or all three will be riding with you in car to hospital. Have you found yourself saying these things?

DENIAL

"It won't happen to me…no way, no how!"

Unfortunately, it is what we cannot see that is killing us. Our insides are getting eaten away because of our lack of exercise and poor eating habits. Society is so concerned with extreme makeover television shows that we have been caught off guard with silent killers: heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Even if outside looks good, damage is still done inside our bodies. Over time we have made ourselves feel comfortable with certain lifestyle habits.

We overlook long-term consequences of our behaviors. We see things going on around us, but we continue to put off exercise and eating better for another day. Out of three, Denial is sneakiest beast of them all.

PRIDE

Denial's brother, Pride, may not be sneakiest, but he is strongest personality of boys. Having too much pride costs millions of lives every year in any arena you can imagine, especially in health and aging process.

Why do you think New Year's resolutions don't stick? Any decision postponed is one that has not been taken seriously enough. If you have to wait to start on a program or quit a bad behavior, it is most likely wishful thinking.

Yes, goals along way should be flexible; but once heartfelt decision is made, there is no looking back.

When is best time to start? RIGHT NOW! So I ask you one simple question,

Why Wait?

People wait to start on a program for many reasons: o When you are not so busy o Once kids are back in school o After doctor's checkup o When you don't feel good The truth is these excuses will never go away until you decide to do something about them. NOW.

We all have been at points in our lives where we got sick and tired of feeling bad, sleeping restlessly, and having life crashing in on us and our health.

The bottom line is you will only change your habits and attitudes about exercise and eating when-there are no more options!

LAZINESS

"I'll start tomorrow on my exercise program." Exercise and eating right takes discipline, and planning. For some, that's too much to ask. If that's you, you may be missing out on a really wonderful healthy quality filled life. But, does that really matter to you?

Why is America fattest nation in world? Laziness! It's just that simple. If you think a pill, surgery, or wishful thinking is going to replace hard work you have been HAD by media. It takes hard consistent work. Having Lazy as a friend may cost you your life someday. Why are most countries healthier and thinner than us? They are more active and more resourceful.

One out of three of you will break a bone. Half of you are on verge of obesity and diabetes. A third of you will suffer a heart attack. Half of you will end up in a nursing home. And most of you are not living a life filled with confidence, good sleeping patterns, high energy or happiness. Why now? You tell me…why not now?

Do math! Numbers do not lie. You either accept road less traveled or you face consequences. It's just that simple. This may resemble a scare tactic, but bottom line is this is reality. You either pay price now by putting in some effort and time, or you pay doctor bill later.

If you think for one second you are exempt, above reproach, or just relying on luck or faith, think again. Your best defense is a good offense.

Why now? Denial, Pride and Lazy will always creep in to make you miserable.
