The Effect Being Over Weight Can Have on Your Life

 

By Robert R Charles

It has now been proven that in many countries more than thirty percent of men are clinically obese and more than twenty five percent of women. This is a disturbing statistic and will only get worse unless people begin to take control of their lives. Now it is not only adults that are affected but children as well. When children become obese it is generally the fault of their parents and it could become much more serious. Bullying and abuse at school could have a dramatic affect on a child and being fat and unable to take part in sports and physical activities makes a child more vulnerable to all types of ridicule. This could psychologically damage a child and could have a detrimental outcome for many years to follow.

Caring for your body is not difficult but many people seem to think that it is as they indulge in their comfort zone with little exercise activity and consuming a diet of convenience foods. If your children witness this way of living they will think that this is the way to conduct their lives too. To prevent this action, adults must set an example and show the next generation how to live to remain healthy. For the younger generation a lot of knowledge is acquired at school but it is in the home where children should learn how to live a healthy, happy life.

So for the sake of your children, it is essential to invest in a diet program and make a difference to yourself and your family. Doing the same thing every day and expecting things to change is not the answer. You are the only person that can make the change, by staying as you are you are gambling with your life and the lives of your family. It is not difficult signing up to a diet plan but it will become extremely so for those closest to you if you do not.

Dignity and self respect are two things that diminish as you become thirty or forty pounds over weight. Failure to take advantage of a diet plan could see your body become ravaged by heart problems and diabetes. Life expectancy will become greatly reduced and your mobility, over time, will be non existent. So ensure that you do not have to rely on others for your mere existence; take control and make an investment for the benefit of your body in a diet program.
