If you have a weight problem, you aren’t alone. Fully two thirds of adult Americans share your same condition. Many of us struggle on a daily basis with this very issue.

Being overweight doesn’t come by itself. It brings along all kinds of other health problems with it. Of course, without the extra weight, many of these problems will vanish.

Why are so many Americans overweight? It wasn’t always like this. In the old days, most people were generally slim. In order to understand why so many more people are overweight now compared to then, we need to look at two major issues.

In the old days, most people weren’t lucky enough to sit at a desk all day. Work meant physical labor. Eight hours a day, five days a week.

And even those among us that can find the motivation to hit the gym once or twice a week, the workout is not nearly as strenuous as people’s eight hour a day jobs of a hundred years ago.

And secondly, the food we eat is not nearly as healthy as it was before. Before, most of the food people ate was fresh, and grown somewhere near to where they lived. It wasn’t trucked in from across the country, or shipped in from a different country altogether.

Contrast that to now, when most everything you can find to eat has been processed, chemically altered, and filled with preservatives. This can’t be good for us.

The biggest problem with this is that it can be darn near impossible to find something to eat that isn’t laced with chemicals. Even if you do find a natural grocer with locally grown, preservative free food, you’d have to take out a loan to afford it.

Pretty much all the food you can find to eat today, from restaurants, to fast food places, to most supermarket food is filled with things that are simply not healthy to eat, and can cause all kinds of health problems.

It’s no surprise then, why we are becoming a nation of obese people. We are kept at desks, fed unhealthy food, and then shamed for being overweight. It’s not our fault.

When you consider that it can be hard to find the time, and the motivation to exercise, and nearly impossible to find the most healthy food to eat, it becomes clear there is something else going on.

But when you figure out how to eat healthy, and get a little bit of exercise, you can start to take your life back, little by little. It may take a little motivation and willpower, but it’s your life. It’s important.
