"Why am I fat?", Is a question that does not have as simple an answer as it would seem. At first glance many people who are not fat would offer up answers like, lazy, undisciplined, just plain eats to much etc. Although these are valid reasons in many cases, we simply can not just assume that this is the case. It is becoming more and more prevalent to have an overactive thyroid gland, which can lead to weight issues. In fact there are a myriad of chemical imbalances and other strangeness that are symptomatic of our modern lifestyles.
All too often we dismiss the over weight for being a less than normal part of society. Lets look at the environment first off. We are absolutely bombarded by low nutrition, high fat foods. You go anywhere and you just simply can not find a meal within budget that is of an acceptable nutrition level. It's just too easy for us to forgo our better judgment and just buy the quickest and best tasting meal available. If you're reading this and you're thin, you may be really thinking that I'm describing people who are undisciplined, lazy folk. Think again, we all have different metabolisms and some of us have the raw end of the stick. If you can eat anything you please and never gain weight, then you're extremely lucky. Now just imagine that eating the way you do now, reflected in your weight going up every week.
Can you even begin to imagine the helplessness you would feel? The shear frustration that others dining at the same fast food place, eating the same greasy, quick fix food, are not showing signs of the same problem as you.
No to mention that how others make you feel when they look at you.
As far as I can see, being over weight is really just another sign of our times. It's much like a reaction that certain of us are having to the pollution our bodies are passing everyday and some of us are lucky and some of us are not so lucky.
Do not lose hope, if you're constantly dieting and watching what you eat and wondering "Why am I Fat", and starting to go a little crazy, then maybe it's time to have a look at your life style.
There are a myriad of little things that you can do to change the way you live without making your life hell.
First of all cut out extra salt – this is really easy – after a while you start to taste just how much salt is in your food.
Drink more water – just get into the habit of keeping a glass of water on your desk all the time. When it's empty, fill it.
Say "NO" to french fries. Only have fries every third or fourth time you order a burger. It's not hard, trust me.
Put less sauce on everything – sometimes you can not even taste the sauce, so why have it.
Eat less starch, starch (pasta, rice, potato), is energy food and if you're not going to expend a lot of energy today then you do not need all that fuel. Your body is just going to store it – we do not want that!
Eat more often, then your system will get used to expecting food often and will not store as much for later.
Do some exercise – take the stairs – come on, it's not that hard.
Just make these small adjustments and do not go all diet mad, if you shock your system, then you will probably not be able to maintain the change for long and you'll be right back where you started.
