WEIGHT WHYS - DIETING THE WISE WAY TO FITNESS

Why lose weight?

Are you having difficulty drumming up a reason to lose weight? After all, losing weight is a pain - a pain in the tummy due to the hungries, a pain in the body due to unaccustomed activity and a pain in our everyday lives as we sweep out all that is common to us to make room for our unwanted diet. Yeah, dieting is a pain.

But you know what's an even bigger pain? Health woes. Stuff like diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure - generally medical issues that like to afflict older adults and yes, many times those in need of losing weight. Fact is, too much fluff on the tuff invites the Pain Meister into your body.

Sure, there are younger individuals who are in tip-top shape yet still develop health issues. However, think about how worse their condition could be if they hadn't keep a check on their weight.

But it's not only about weight. Many over weight individuals are content with the way they feel and the way that they look because they feel that the trade-off is worth it all. Enjoyment of food for the mere price of a few extra pounds, and perhaps a few aches and pains such as knees that flare up from time to time, and that pesky indigestion. But here's the catch - the BIG KAHUNA of why an over weight individual should tell those extra pounds to take a hike.

Weight gain is much like adding a cake of yeast to flour. At first, it just sort of bubbles. After a while, it grows larger - then larger still. The more time that passes, the larger the flour grows until there is nothing left but a pan full of golden buns. No matter how hard a chef may try, it is impossible to turn those golden buns back into a cake of yeast and a pile of flour.

However, it's great to know that the same theory does not apply to people. Although we gain weight, we can surely lose weight. But again, the tricky issue is that as weight piles on over time, the thought of losing it often becomes overwhelming. And if we continue to wait until our buns are big and golden, once we deflate them, we're left with a bunch of loose skin and "I wish that I would have's".

So if this rings a bell, you're definitely tough enough to get the weight off. A Diet Bites' reader goes out into the Diet Forest armed for battle, smarter than the average diet site reader. Go tiger!
