Will Power is the concept that you can fight a preordained path. That simply by mentally muscling yourself into an action, you can get your desired result. I wont argue that the emotional battle often delivers impressive results; rather it my experience that it wont last. It is akin to walking along a narrow board or tightrope. Certainly you can do it we both know it, but for how long? And then, how do you feel when you "fall off" the path you have been so focused on dedicated on?

For me, I would feel horrible, and filled with self-loathing. Obesity, in our society, is a social disease; yet it is viewed with far more disdain then alcoholism. We are taught from early on, that being fat is a choice. I cant actually argue that point. We have created our extra weight and with the proper support and education, we can eliminate it. However, the prejudice against us is overwhelming at time and the health care professions propensity to prescribe dangerous surgery over behavioral modification is frightening.

Men and women are losing their lives and putting themselves in debtand we, the obese, do not learn how to modify our eating and our exercise, it wont matter how small our stomach is; we will continue to overeat.

Surgery is not the only option. Learning, in small, steady steps to cut back on a food here, or a food there is the key. Moving just a little more today than yesterday, is a way to conquer a lifetime battle with food and fat.
