Don’t call it a disease!

Written by Darryn Aldridge


They are now calling being overweight a disease. Well, what next! You’ve really got to wonder whether calling being overweight a disease a good idea at all. I mean, it’s not like a conventional disease inrepparttar sense that you can go off to a doctor and get a prescription written out for. This is very ifferent and should be treated as such.

The biggest mistake we make with being overweight is trying to fit our condition into a nice pigeon hole. Call it a name and then sit back and let someone else take responsibility for it. When we give something a medical name, we tend to hand over any control of that problem to someone else, blaming it on “your condition” and wait for someone else to findrepparttar 115094 solution to it.

We couldn’t be more WRONG!

The reality behind it all is that no matter how you look at it (physical and/or medical conditions aside of course)we arerepparttar 115095 ones that are responsible for continually pushing more food down our throat than we actually need to survive. Remember, no one is forcing us to perform this daily ritual. It’s something we have learned to do overrepparttar 115096 years that has now become our way of life.

The real issue is coming to terms with why we are consistently doing this. Most of us are aware that we are overeating, yet why are we unable to stoprepparttar 115097 routine of this daily feasting?

Let’s consider some ofrepparttar 115098 reasons why we might do this:

1. It feels good to eat. We substitute food as a means of comforting ourselves. Food becomes our best friend, or even our soul mate.

2. Boredom. With such a big diverse world full of stimulus, we still find nothing more exciting than eating to passrepparttar 115099 time away!
