Why is it so difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle?
Is it because we Americans have been 'programmed' to "eat on the go"? Drive-thrus have become so popular that we can get almost anything as we drive from one place to another. We can drop off dry cleaning, pay our rent and utilities, pick up our prescriptions...I have even seen drive-thru beer and liquor stores!!
What's next, drive-thru dentistry, or eye exams?
A friend of mine recently told me of an observation. When she went back to her parent's home (in a non US country) all the citizens were thin and trim. She realized that most American she personally knows, or works with, are less thin. OK, even fat.
I believe it's because we don't eat right. We don't exercise right, if any! We are in such a hurry to stuff our faces, then sit around and watch tv instead of getting out and DOING something that we just bloat up and become "average Americans."
What's up with that?!?!
