Why Are We Obese?

Why are We Obese?

This is the Most Important
Question You can Ask Yourself

It is also a question most of us avoid like the plague because
the answer might actually force us to change our lives.

Welcome to my website, my name is Dave Stewart and I am obese. Saying that is like going to a meeting and confessing my addiction. Well, I guess that's true, because overweight people have an addiction. It is overeating.

In college I was a slim and trim basketball player with no worries about weight. The coach saw to it that we ran everyday, whether we wanted too or not. Then I hurt my right knee and my basketball career was over. This was before they had the great surgical techniques of today.

I started putting on a little weight as time when, on and have been overweight since then. Maybe you've been adding pounds and it doesn't bother you, but before you know it your weight can get totally out of hand and begin to affect your health. In stronger words, your life expectancy diminishes.

Well, guess what - the world changed and we forgot to keep up.

Is this you?

√ Can't comfortably sit in an airplane seat

√ Get out of breath when walking a short distance

√ Can't bend over to tie your shoes without great effort

√ Can't play with your kids or grandkids for lack of energy

√ Can't sit on folding or regular chairs for fear of collapsing

√ Can't pass a fast food place without getting "just a snack"

√ Feet hurt when you have to work all day

√ Sleeping companion says you "snore"

√ You think buying chicken by the bucket is a great deal

If you answered "yes" to three or more of the above, you are probably obese.

Sorry to be so blunt, but you haven't listened in the past. If you are willing to admit this simple reality, there is hope for a full recovery.
