Apparently the problem, if you are overweight, isn't you, it's 'The Feeders'. Good. That helps doesn't it? Er, actually it doesn't. You're still fat.
You may at this point be wondering what or who 'The Feeders' are?
Collectively, they are the companies who make millions out of fatty, sugary and salty food. They are kings in the nutrient wasteland, they are monarchs of mono sodium glutamate, the shining knights of sugar.
I'm not going to name names (I'm not stupid, these corporations have very large budgets and even bigger lawyers) but let's assume we're talking about that quaint 'Scottish' restaurant with the arches of gold and with them any burger or chicken franchise you care to mention. I'm talking about fast fat food and with it all the ice creams and chocolatey side orders that make up a meal that could, calorifically speaking, keep an army on it's feet for days, albeit giving them that horrific afternoon sugar dip.
They've got great marketing all these 'Feeders'. They're on every corner,in every town and they've even infiltrated the odd hospital. Fast food is ubiquitous, but you know what? It ain't compulsory!
I agree that the ease in which everyone can buy cheap bad food is a big issue. Every supermarket has freezers full of food whose components have been so chemically altered they are barely fit for purpose, but you have a choice.
It's sometimes easy to forget that choice, but it's there and the more we exercise it, the more we grow in our mental stature and health.
Know that you can walk past the greasy fast food outlet. Know that you can use natural ingredients and make soups and salads and casseroles and a hundred other dishes that promote health. During the war years this country was healthier than it's ever been in the intervening years because people ate simple healthy food.
If 'The Feeders' are the problem then everyone would be obese and they are not. The problem as I see it is that some people have lost their self belief that they can do something about their obesity issues. This for me is the tragedy.
Allow a person to see that they are in charge, that they have the strength of character, intellect and dynamism to change any aspect of their lives, including their size and shape and amazing things happen.
There will always be temptation. There will always an easy way and a better way and there will always be personal choice.

Today there is a man in Britain who weighs 70 stones. There is a picture of him on a national news website, taken when he weighed 50 stones. At 50 stones the man didn't make the decision to get smaller. No, in effect, he made the opposite decision, to get bigger. He got 20 stones bigger.
There will be people who will argue that the act of 'not stopping' is not in anyway the same as proactively gaining as much weight as possible. They will say that the man didn't WANT to get bigger. The fact is the outcome is the same.
Thankfully to be 70 stone is to be a rare human being. Thankfully, because it isn't healthy to be housebound by one's own bulk and I'd lay odds that the man concerned would have lead a more fulfilled and happier existence if, when he'd got to 50 stones, he'd decided to stop the weight gaining lifestyle and tried anything to change.
Imagine if things had gone the other way for him? He'd be 30 stones now and no doubt looking forward to being even lighter because his view of himself would have completely turned around.
Is it really that simple? I believe it is.
Many people make the decision to lose weight, they see the benefits, they even lose some weight, but they give up, lose faith in themselves and comfort eat their way to oblivion. Why? Because the change needs to take place not just in your eating habits but in your thinking habits.
If you're not changing something, you're almost certainly getting the same results as you have always had.
If you've been fat for a long time, you're an expert at getting fat. Consider the idea that you can become an expert at being thinner.
When you recognise that you are controlling yourself; Even if you're allowing everything in your life to drift,(you have on a very deep level, made that choice.)You realise it's all down to what you really want to make happen.
It's a domino effect. Thinking about HOW you are creating your bulk,(I eat lots of fried food and I never exercise,) you can work out WHY you're doing it. What does it do for you? What would you accept as an alternative way of living?
You can decide if you are emotionally ready and willing to be thinner and lighter and you can choose to make any changes necessary to become the size you want to be.
Taking control of your own thinking might seem a strange starting point for weight loss, but realising that it really is 'that simple' could be the 'light bulb' moment where you start to move forward with your life. Give yourself the opportunity to look back at a pivotal point of positive change and not a life filled with might have beens...
