One way of dealing with our own insecurities is to highlight those of others. Society thumbs its collective nose at overweight people. Second, sticking to a workout schedule day after day when you have a significant amount of weight to lose is a daunting task. Now, before I go any further, let me clarify a couple of points.įirst, as someone who used to have no use for lifting weights and frankly was intimidated by a lack of strength, I have all the respect in the world for anyone at the gym working hard to try to make a positive healthy change to his or her life. We’ve become a lazy country whose waistlines are expanding faster than the national debt. Honestly, when did removing our ever-widening backsides from our cars to walk a few extra steps become such a miscarriage of justice? In the extra time we spend seeking out that ever-so-precious commodity, we could’ve walked to the store from a spot that isn’t as close as we feel we’re entitled to. Never mind all the time wasted driving around in search of a parking space close to the store. A member of the wait staff will deliver your food to you as you sit in a designated parking space because, you know, the thought of actually venturing into the restaurant to get the order is painstakingly excruciating. Some restaurants have call ahead curbside take-out. We get coffee, go to the bank, buy lunch and pick up prescriptions. Now think about how many errands we’re capable of running without peeling our rumps from the car. I am talking about those folks who are at least 50 pounds too heavy. I don’t mean the ones who could stand to drop ten pounds. Focus not only on those in your life but also the people you cross paths with every day if only for an instant. As you tend to your daily routine, take a look at your surroundings.
