It’s never too late

Dr. Lorilee Schoenbeck, co-author of “Menopause: Bridging the Gap Between Natural and Conventional Medicine.” believes that menopausal women will lose their hourglass appearance.  “It will save them a lot of grief if they will just accept that.”  

This is another piece of rubbish that needs to be dispelled; though I will admit, preventing the loss of your hourglass figure is easier than obtaining it again. 

Patricia Pearson in the June 9, 2004, edition of USA Today was concerned about the media’s attention to “ordinary American women submitting to a months-long regimen of dieting, fitness and plastic surgery, to be not strong and fit, but pretty.”    I agree with Pearson in that “pretty” is not the target; good health is. 

BUT! Nearly everyone with a trim, fit body appears attractive to others. We have forgotten what normal is.  Since two out of three Americans are overweight or obese, when we see a normal weight person we think they are thin or slender.  Sorry, folks but they are usually normal.  Average doesn’t cut it any more since average is over weight or worse.  It is my job to point out reality and then you will have a great chance of fixing your problem.  This process will be life-long and rewarding.  It will be life changing and amazing.  It will be the new you.  This is a Call to Action.

The solution to achieving or maintaining normal weight and good health begins as early as breastfeeding and ends at our last breath.  You are in a position, not to alter the past but to make changes for your children and yourselves that will correct for our past mistakes.  You may becoming a bit late to the table, though it is never too late to make life altering, healthy choices that will provide for the freedom of living life to the fullest.

You can and will make a difference.

The most important thing in life is to show up.  At the end of the day, you will want to be able to say to others:  “I was on the field.” — Quint Studer, National Health Care Consultant
