You know breaking any habit whether it's eating too much or not enough is hard to do. Think about the last time you tried to break a habit. I bet that no matter how small it was it wasn't easy to do. Have you ever had a tooth pulled out? If so, did you notice how your tongue kept going to that spot where the tooth was no matter how hard you tried to stop yourself from doing it? That was your tongue trying to remap that area and it took it a long time to get used to that change. You can't just expect someone who hasn't exercised in years to just get up all of the sudden and go to the gym. These things can take months, even years for your mind to get used to it. Don't be so hard on fat people. Attitude like yours only makes things worst for these people, they need support, not insults.



iI would take it a step futher than what you're talking about......these unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits go back generations...and it's only recently that real information about nutrition and the link between this lifestyle and our health problems as a community have been genrally known.

You say it's hard for person who has been having a certain lifelong habit to break it? well ho wabout a family long habit? seeing their entire family practice the same lifestyle.......grandmama, mama, siblings, etc...

Makes it even harder to break because they've been surrounded their entire lives by people who eat and act the exact same way..it's normal for them....

Don't know about other countires..but lots of Americans are overweight....and unfortunately disproportionate number of Africans living in america are overweight and obese...
