Women in the United States generally have one very specific shared obsession: losing weight. They are constantly bombarded with claims of effective weight loss- secrets of the stars, fool-proof fad diets, etc. How many women try these diets? Probably hundreds of thousands, and how many lose weight from them? Maybe a few- the ones that end up gaining all of it back plus forty pounds. Something has to be wrong. This cannot be some strange coincidence, and it isn 't. The way in which we think about our weight, our bodies, and the attention we put towards finding out why we eat is what needs to change in order to see real changes in our bodies and our minds.

Exercising is treating your body well as much as eating well is, and this should be the goal- to treat yourself as well as possible. It is very important, also, to have your exercise routine be as gradually-changing as the eating. Start with small weekly goals, and write down what you feel when you know you could/should be exercising and aren 't. These changes don 't have to be as hard as they seem. Taking on the task of losing weight is something which is hard to think about, and even harder to do. However, treating yourself well, and being mentally and physically healthy, is not hard to think about or do. I know I 'm not alone when I say that weight loss is the hardest thing I 've ever done or tried to do. Maybe it 's presumptuous to think anyone would want to hear my story, but here goes: I started out a skinny little runt with chronic asthma. Back in the 50 's the way they treated asthma was by treating the symptoms. No one had come up with a way to prevent an attack. I got most of my attacks along with a cold or the flu. My family doctor back then convinced my mother that if I weighed more I 'd be healthier and able to stave off these colds and wouldn 't have as much trouble with my asthma. Back then we didn 't questions doctors so my mother started a campaign to "fatten" me up. It worked too well. I don 't blame her or my doctor since that was the thinking at the time and
So, we should all get into the habit of exercising regularly right now. If all of us now begin a routine of staying in shape, keeping in mind that it will make us healthier, give us a better state of mind, and body, we can make the future years of our lives more rewarding.
One of the biggest goals Americans today set for themselves is to lose weight. It is a quest which many seek out and never reach. The twentieth century has brought about many changes in the world, but it has also brought about many self image problems. With waif-thin models walking the runway, and anorexic fourteen year olds as our role models it is not a wonder. Many young and older women are feeling threatened to fit this particular image.
Attention Getter: Are you tired of being of gaining weight or just feeling sluggish all the time? Do you have health issues? Well exercising can give you good health and psychological advantages.
It should come as no surprise to the rest of the country that the number one thing on everyone's mind is how to shed that 20, 30, or even 50 pounds. Theory, after theory, after theory, after theory try to help reverse the onset of weight gain but never really hit the mark. Whether it is because the theory is flawed, or it is part of the business model no one can be sure.
In society, most women as well as men, are overweight. We should teach people to love themselves and accept who they are. If they don’t then do something to change it, but do it the right way.

Physically I try and eat well and exercise to the extent that I feel good, however, I do not purposely exercise because it’s the right thing to do.

The words “you`re too fat” have been said to me more than anything else. Weighing in at 190 pounds at the age of 11 was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to face in life. Not being able to fit into a pair jeans was unbelievable, but this was the reality. Going store to store trying to find something to fit was devastating.

This also affected me physically because it eliminated my chances to play basketball because I was unable to keep up with the other players.

I've been struggling with weight for the last 20 years of my life. I used to be in great shape when I was in my twenties but over time I've really allowed myself to slip into some bad eating habits and I stopped exercising entirely. My low thyroid, which my dad and my grandfather both had, really didn't help at all either. A few years ago I decided to make a change and I started eating more healthy, ingesting less calories, and also burning more due to exercise. I was going to the gym 4 times a week!
