Super Size Me – Child Obesity Epidemic

In the inaugural issue of a health magazine, which is dedicated to consumers with education supporting safe and healthy living; one article title grabbed my attention: Obesity Epidemic Confronting Our Youth.

While I agree child obesity is epidemic, the article title implies that obesity is a sinister monster lurking in the grocery store or the home environment diabolically grabbing innocent children; wrestling them to the ground and forcing junk food down their throats. Obesity is a family lifestyle – nothing more; nothing less. Children eat what their parents buy.

Child Obesity Epidemic

Nearly one in three children is overweight or obese. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) estimated that nearly 17% of children age 2 – 19 years are obese. According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation in Canada, over 25% of the children are considered overweight or obese. Alarmingly, there is no great concern. No elected official, medical professional or childcare organization has sounded the alarm. The United States has more obesity than any other country.

Illuminate Your Future Self While Healing Your Past

Connecting first with your future illuminates what issues you need to heal in your past. You do not need to spend years re-hashing the same old history and wandering around wondering how your past is impacting you now. By looking at the ‘Future Self’ you can then see clearly what obstacles need to be resolved. Thus, you can go into your past with the love and power of your Future Self, to heal the past quickly, to transform it, so you can move ahead into your exciting future.

When your Future Self and you go back and find your “Inner Child” it immediately reveals to you events in your life that you aren’t aware of that are still ‘running you’ as an adult. You then learn to express, reframe and truly heal those events.
