We’ve all been in a conversation (with someone else or internally) where we say we will try to complete a task. We also know what the word try means. Trying is not doing. We try to find time for things we don’t want to do. More accurately in health, we try to do things we want to do, but don’t think we are able to do. We try to make it to places we don’t want to go and we try not end up doing things we don’t want to do. What happens when we try to do things? Well, often they don’t get done. Read More→

With each passing year, the statistics tell a tale of the increasing number of overweight people across the nation.
