OMG! 75% of US Adults will be Overweight by 2015

I don't know how long this article will be posted on Fox but here is the link:

75 Percent of U.S. Adults Will Be Overweight by 2015, Study Says

I believe it is around 66% right now. That is right. 66% of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. And it is no laughing matter...

Some of my readers will absolutely know what it costs them to be overweight. Medical problems, lack of mobility, poor performance at work due to being tired and so on...

And 41% of the U.S. adults will be obese by 2015. And that my friend is a VERY serious matter. Now we are talking about a serious threat to life...

And what is even more scary is that women and some ethnic populations tend to have a larger proportion of overweight people.

For instance, 80% of Black women over the age of 40 are overweight and 50% of those overweight Black women are obese.

And those living in the southeast -- probably deep south are more likely to be overweight than those who live elsewhere.

The article doesn't conclude WHY exactly but I suspect it is the diet. You see, I believe that our bodies were designed to be lean, mean and healthy but when we feed ourselves with foods that our bodies were not designed for -- all that calories gets saved as fat.

The greatest paradox is that foods that are tasty and plentiful to us -- is killing us by putting ourselves in great danger.

And not to mention being the most miserable experience ever visited on humans. Being humiliated that our body parts jiggle. Being envious of the people who are skinny and wear sexy clothing.

When you are ready -- I mean it. When you are ready, that is the only time you are ever going to fix the overweight problem.

So when you are just mad enough... when you are just humiliated enough... to make that MASSIVE change in your approach to diet and exercise...

ONLY then -- you will succeed. And forget about everyone else. Especially the negative vibes from the "discouragement fraternity."

When you are ready, take a look at some of the books that I have reviewed that is going to work for you because YOU decided to take responsibility and make a change in the way you look and feel about your body.

If Paul Potts can do it, so can you!!!

It may not be PC, but Paul Potts had every going against him. Medical problems, just got married, dead end career, discouragement, bad teeth, bad haircut... you name it.

And at the end of the day, Paul Potts was transformed into a modern day hero. Not just because he has the gift to sing... because he had the guts to try one more time.

Now, if you don't know who I am talking about, I suggest that you head over to youtube.com and look at his video when he sang, "Nessun Dorma."

He will blow you away with his voice!!!

The real point of this is this... don't stop trying. It doesn't have to be all at once. Just a little bit more each day to your goal.

You want to lose fat and gain muscles? Just do a little each day... just get started and do it today!

Winning Through Intimidation

Recently, I read a great book by Robert J. Ringer, "Winning Through Intimidation."

This book was written in 1973 and is remarkably current in today's society.

Robert wrote about his experiences and model theories that are applicable to anything you do in life.

One of his theories is "Organic Chemistry Theory." This theory was based on his college experience in his chemistry class. He described this know-it-all in the lab. The guy practically juggled test tubes and worked effortlessly through the experiments.

And let everyone know about it.

Robert called this guy the "Court Holder." When someone knows-it-all and explains how utterly simple it all is.. he is a court holder. We all know someone like this.

To continue the story...

And poor Robert Ringer... he was so confused. So he hit the books every night studying as hard as he could... just so that he could catch up.

And then the day of the exam. Robert got the highest score in the class, way above anyone else. And the court holder? He scored about the median. That meant half the class did better than him...

Go figure...

So don't let anyone intimidate you by being a know-it-all. Chances are... it is his ego talking.

Andrew Speaker and Tuberculosis

"I flew to Europe and back and all I got was this stupid T-shirt"

OK. Andrew Speaker is a personal-injury lawyer. He somehow contacted a severe form of tuberculosis that is resistant to antibiotics.

CDC made the recommendation that he not make any travel plans. (And to be fair, he was not prohibited from traveling at the time).

He wanted to travel so he could marry his finance in Europe... as it turned out... they never got married as planned on this trip.

Andrew made so many decisions that put his fellow passengers and whoever he met at risk. Now all these people have to be tested to be sure they didn't contact it.

In case you didn't know, TB is a very slow growing bacteria. It takes a day and half to divide. So you know what this means... you have to keep taking the test to make sure you don't have it. It can be years.

So I imagine that a lot of people will be suing Andrew the lawyer. Sometimes Karma is a bitch.

Nicole Richie is Thinner than a Rail - But is She Sexy?

If you believe the National Enquirer and Star magazines...

They would have you believe that Nicole Richie is in rehab for addition to pills and treatment for anorexia.

Wow.

And they say she only weighs 83 pounds...

Double wow.

What can I say when a girl in her twenties weights less than 99% of the adults in the civilized world?

It makes you wonder what kind of pressure she puts on herself to be this way... And being severely malnourished is NOT good thing at all...

I seriously doubt even with all her fame and fortune -- she is happy.

So your number one goal today should be this... what can I do to make myself happy?

Write it down. And do it!!!

Is Jennifer Love Hewitt having a bad day?

Everybody has problems... Even one of my favorite actress

Even Jennifer Love Hewitt. She is being sued by her former management firm.

Who is right? Who knows.

It will be taken care of. Jennifer probably has a professional team that takes care of these things so she doesn't have to worry about it.

And sure... she has money. Loads of it.

But that doesn't mean you and I are any different. We need to have something in place to avoid stress because as sure as death and taxes -- these situations are going to happen to us eventually.

So what do we do about it?

If I may, I have read this awesome book that you can pick up at any bookstore. It is "Psycho Cybernetics," by Dr. Maltz.

Get the 2nd edition... it reads so much easier than the earlier version which was written 50 years ago or so.

The key concept that is propounded by this book is that you can "program" your mind for success. It isn't a wild theory. It doesn't involve animal sacrifices... :)

It is a simple book that has exercises at the end of each chapter that you can use to train yourself for success. Success in your professional field. Success in love. Success in whatever you want to do up to and including weight loss.
