Persistency Is the Enemy

Persistency is the enemy.

Persistent weight gain, compounded over time, is responsible for the majority of obesity in America today.

The "average" person gains only a pound during the holiday season and only a pound and a half over the course of an entire year. One and a half pounds may not sound like much, but with persistence the 1.5 pounds equates to a 10 pound weight gain every seven years.

If you entered the workforce at 22 years old at 170 pounds then slowly, consistently, over time (based on the research) you will morph into a 210 pound 50 year old, a 220 pound 57 year old! If the trend continues then by 64, just after Social Security has kicked in, you're staring 230 pounds dead in the face. Can you imagine the health consequences you could suffer?

The problem is persistence: Weight goes on each year, and typically stays on FOR-E-VER.

At the root of the problem is habits. Inevitably, habits enslave you.

Be a slave to good habits and make persistence your best friend.
your best friend.
