I think that the answer to healthier people begins with children, just like any other social problem. Solve it in the crib while they are still able to learn good attitudes and habits.

After that...you have to make it worthwhile to someone who is on the wrong track? To get on the right track. This is a pretty touchy feely approach...so get out your barf bags. It is also dead on when it comes to helping someone make changes.

Most every self-abusive thing we do, from drug abuse to eating poorly, being promiscuous, all these things, is really rooted in self-hatred and running away from something or cushioning from something...avoidance of the truth. It is shocking if you ever look into the psychology of our behavior how much we run from our feelings, our fears, and our insecurities. We mask ourselves so no one sees us as we are, or has the chance to hurt us, and the ironic thing is that we aren't usually fooling anyone, and we still end up hurting.

That means that eventually for any change to stick, the person has to want to do things differently, because they know themselves to be worth it. Most of the time, people don't just snap out of it. It usually takes a loving kick in the pants by someone who can love the person unconditionally. You can't prove it, by the way, but you can certainly prove otherwise.

It begins with making sure you show them that you love them and accept them exactly as they are...love them even when they don't love themselves, and love them through an honest look at themselves, love them through their changes. Showing them how valuable they are and then praying that they believe it. Unfortunately a lot of this work is up to that person. You can tell someone you love them, that you care, that you are there for them allllll day long and they may not believe you.

This is why so many addiction programs (and many of our food behaviors are addictive, for sure.) talk about hitting bottom. This is when the person gets to the point where they either change or they die, or where their behaviors have caused them to lose everything of importance to them, up to and including their health and closest loved ones. The focus of interventions is to bring the bottom up a little so it isn't so physically dangerous, and so the process is executed with more compassion than real life penniless, death bed, in the gutter circumstances.

But unfortunately, in all things, a person has to see that it is a lot easier to change than to stay the way they are.

You have to be able to get in peoples minds becuase we can not stop what the world is promoting.

Close down fast foods and make it a law to excersie otherwise no luck there.

How can we end the use of dangerous diet pill and surgery?

Well, I believe that there is no problem with dieting pills. See, I know a few people who are morbidly obese and have no insurance benefits.

There is nothing else that these people can do; they weigh 500+ pounds. Liposuction is there only chance to live a somewhat normal life.
