Who's Fat?
Greetings!
I read an article today that suggest people have a blind spot when it comes to realizing (or admitting) that they are obese. Check it out (a new window will open).
It reminded me of Obelix (as in the comic strip/comic books Asterix and Obelix) always asking "who's fat" whenever someone raises the issue).... And to some extent, many of us act like him.
Sure, we acknowledge we ought to lose a couple of kilos, and even add that as one of the first items in our new year's resolution lists (which is abandoned after the first days in January), but admitting we're obese? Never!!!
Looking at our BMI can be challenging for some of us. A BMI of 24-25 seems to be ideal, and anything over 30 is regarded, in medical terms, as obese... but we tend to ignore it, or attribute it to bone density, ethnic differences, age, or any other excuse we may think of to justify our bulkiness.
But the truth is... if we have a BMI of 30 or higher, we must address that immediately through a weight management system. Choose your favourite system: Weight Watchers is my system of choice because it worked for me (and I'm still struggling to get to the magic BMI of 25!), but you can also do the Low Carbs regime, the raw food diet, or even going alcalyn.
Provided you do it under medical supervision, the important thing is to take massive action to get you to the healthy BMI range.
Yours in Health,
