Walking through the bookstore recently, I saw a display that was simply shocking. We often hear of "societal pressure" to diet and some people doubt if this is even real. Well, I found proof. This picture of diet books is simply a snapshot of a wall of books; books many people have bought over time in an effort to lose weight. PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT endorse any books and the picture only serves to show that messages to diet are not subliminal. We are bombarded with messages to diet to the point that it can be easy for one to think that it is normal to do so. It is not. Our ultimate goal should be to develop a healthy lifestyle. We are not sheep do not blindly go where we are led. We do not do whatever a sign says. We have free will.
I challenge you to be vigilant and look for these messages around you and practice saying YES to your health.
Peace be with you.
