I couldn't agree with spliff anymore. 110% cosign
I mean tackling the obesity epidemic is really a complex subject because there's sohh many factors that contribute to why people are overweight, and it's not just as simple as of saying eat raw vegetables and do a couple push-ups.
I could throw out the stats about people who lose an X amount of pounds only to gain it back in a few months and than sum.
really needs to be some in depth studies about the psychological components that factor into the obesity epidemic. I've fallen victim to this type of entrapment too. I can't tell you how many times, I've created a certain goal for myself or achieved a certain physique only to briefly fall off, sort of into a mild depression. I would engage in binge eating. Diet
I didn't feel like working out anymore because I had done it all, part of me was dead in a sense. Essentially, the struggling part became the most memorable because it gave me the most joy. The feeling of being an underdog, going through triumph is indescribable(up there with getting head from a good chick). What got me back in shape, was the thought I was out of shape
. I guarantee, a large percentage of people who were previously overweight, then lost the weight, but gained it back experienced this same type of syndrome.
My current solution to this is always keep setting different goals for yourself, sky's the limit.
This is also, why I'm reluctant to hopefully study neuroscience / neurology in the near future, sohh that I can address these concerns.
What really frustrates me, is when I see the kids who are overweight. Primarily the children in elementary school. There's no excuse for numerous adolescents to be borderline obese.
The solution, idk
. We could start by enforcing some better legislation in this country.
And like Spliff said, again, it really comes down to how bad the individual wants to be in shape.
I think we should do a Health / Fitness podcast, where we address the obesity epidemic. Provide Solution( And talk about diets, workout regimes for people on the go / limit time / hoes
etc)
I'm sure some cats from "the gym" would be down to participate(spliff,krack,myself, WBM,KoolgTrap and then Vic & Leyet might be down to drop their incites.... )
