Diet And Health Are A Part Of The Unique 'Shared Human Experience'

Posted by Jimmy Moore on November 4 in Health

I'm a big believer in the concept of the shared human experience. Sure, we all have our own differences that make us quite unique from one another. But it is those areas where our paths cross even in what may seem like subtle ways where we realize the commonality we have.

For people who desire weight loss and improvements to their health, this community experience with your fellow man is all the more pronounced. There's a certain pain that an overweight or obese person feels about themselves and the predicament they are in that a thin "normal" person would NEVER even come close to comprehending.

It's this lack of understanding of the emotional and psychological needs of someone who is fat and sick that continues to feed the very problem itself. Diet book after diet book has come out blaming your weight problem on...well YOU! And to a certain degree, that's true. But a lot of it has to do with what you've been "told" is good for you, not necessarily what IS good for you.

The confusion sets in and people just don't know what to do. See an example of this "shared human experience" from an e-mail I received from a desperate and hurting reader wanting inspiration in her own journey by clicking here.
