Biggest Loser

So usually I blog about educational topics that can help with effective workouts or proper nutrition. But tonight is different...The Biggest Loser is on, and while I do not watch the show religiously I have been captivated tonight for different reasons. All that goes through my mind right now is what is so wrong with the American culture that people can become so overweight that their lives are at risk from obesity by their early 20's?

Are we too lazy? Are we so used to being non-active that we can adjust to carrying 100+ extra pounds with short trips to the car, sofa or fridge? Are the overindulgent foods too attractive to say no to? Are we so immature that we do not discipline ourselves to make the healthy choices and listen to our bodies crying for help?

Believe me when I say that the best reward in life is to be as healthy as possible. When it comes to life you have little control over so many things so why not take control of as much as possible? Acknowledge that every activity you partake in and every ounce of food or beverage you consume should be a mindful experience. Only when that occurs will you feel fully satisfied that you are being the best that you can be and living life to the fullest.
