One bite at a time, one pizza, one gallon of ice cream, one bucket of fried chicken, we did this to ourselves. Pain, being what it is, hurts so much, that to numb ourselves from the moment of truth, we eat more...so much that we try to obliterate the the morning I will start that new diet, tomorrow I will start working out...I will change this - after I feel better. And suddenly we find that we are 50 pounds heavier the next visit to the doctor and she is telling us it is now or never.. From Creating Obesity to Eliminating Obesity The searing pain that comes from the moment of realization that we created this problem - obesity, that may be bringing so many other problems to our lives; diabetes, high blood pressure, organ problems, circulation problems...many, many conditions that are DIRECTLY related to obesity and weight issues, WE CREATED.

The heartbreaking reality is, that day, that moment when we are "ready" to change never comes...there is always another bad day at the office, the kids act up, we get bad news from the doctor or a friend...there are always reasons NOT to be different than what we are.
