Wanna know the truth?%A0 If you”re going to be slim, you”re going to have to swim against the current.%A0 You”re going to have to take charge of your body and make your own decisions%85cause if you go with the flow today, I guarantee that you”re going to be fat. %A0< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> %A0 Here are 3 reasons why: %A0 %A0 %231)%A0 Rampant Portion Sizes %A0 “Supersize it”, “Biggie Fries”, “Value Meal”, “Super Big Gulp” – phrases that we use so commonly, it”s hard to believe that we”d have to explain what they mean to someone from another era. %A0 Restaurants have blown their portion sizes so big in the name of providing “value” that one meal could feed a small soccer team. %A0 Considering that your stomach is roughly the size of your fist (but thank goodness it stretches!), the portion sizes you get today in the average restaurant could probably fill 5 or more stomachs.%A0 %A0 But we”re told to get our money”s worth right?%A0 So go ahead and eat up.%A0 That way you can spend your money going to the doctor for obesity related health problems later.%A0 That”s truly getting your money”s worth! %A0 %A0 %A0 %232) Diet as Religion %A0 Diets boast a stellar 2-5% success rate (that”s a 98% FAILURE rate by the way).%A0 And yet if an alien landed in North America, he (or she) would be convinced that our society must be built on the value of dieting.%A0 %A0 Billboards, magazines, books, television shows, ads, even restaurant menus%85everywhere you look you”re inundated with the latest diet, diet food or diet plan. Diets are touted as the ONLY solution to weight loss.%A0 %A0 We have more diets on the market now than ever before. We have more people on a diet now than ever before – and yet we continue to get fatter%85is there ANY POSSIBLE connection here? %A0 %A0 %233) Escalator Generation %A0 Go with the flow and you”ll enjoy a multitude of worldly conveniences.%A0 You can microwave your dinner in 5 minutes, load your dishwasher in 2 and pay the dog walker in 1.%A0 You don”t have to walk to the store – just hop in the car.%A0 Your kids don”t have to go swimming – they”ve got a new Xbox game. Don”t bother taking the stairs because there”s an elevator.

You can sit at a desk for long hours without even getting up from your chair.%A0 And when you do come home from work – you have the luxury of flopping on the couch and watching “Friends” while eating takeout.
%A0
Go with the flow my friend and you”ll expend less energy while eating more.%A0 Oh – and you”ll also be told that taking a pill is the only way to solve the problem of your ever-increasing waistline.

One of the best photographs I ever saw was of the front of a gym.%A0 There was a staircase leading up to the gym with an escalator beside it.%A0 And you guessed it – people were taking the escalator UP to the gym! The only guy on the stairs was walking DOWN them.%A0 That pretty much sums up the problem.

Unfortunately, if you go with the flow in our world today, chances are very high that you”re going to get fat.%A0 BUT by knowing what you”re up against, you can take steps to go against the flow.%A0 By taking a stand, taking charge and making positive choices for your body – you can live slim and healthy in a world skewed towards weight gain.%A0%A0
