Pretty simple start really. Take responsibility for your own obesity and related health problems before they really cripple you and suck up your family's energy to care for you because you were careless and ignorant.
STOPPING those harmful habits is hard and a weaning is a process. Try cutting in HALF what you have been doing, then cut that in half again and pretty soon you won't crave it much!
So are you obese? Do you got high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, gallstones, asthma or arthritis YET? Save yourself now and DON'T get dead! So you can go to work and pay your way instead of expecting Obama and the government to be there to take care of you because, BIG SHOCKER, they won't be there for you when you need it. That's the way this world is headed! Sorry!
