There are over 64 percent of Americans that are over-fat and overweight.  Living this way can literally cost you money and time. The average person that is overweight tends to spend an additional $400-$1000 monthly on groceries, eating at restaurants, doctor bills, larger clothes, and insurance premiums.

Obesity-related illnesses cause an astonishing loss of 39 million work days per year in America. Your weight gain isn't just costing you, but your company as well. You are your number-one asset in life and if you aren't taking care of that asset to the best of your ability then other areas in your life will diminish.

Picture or draw a "wheel of life" categorized in sectioned pie pieces with each one individually labeled according to life's priorities. For example, mine would be sectioned into faith, family, health, relationships, finances, career, etc. When I look at my wheel, I see that my health is the glue that holds all of these categories in tact. In fact, the quality of each area of your life is a reflection upon your current health condition as well.

It's time to stop chasing wealth. Whether you realize it or not, your wealth is wrapped up in your health. It's simple...if you aren't healthy (to your fullest) then you won't have the energy to be fully effective in your home, your career, or community. What does it matter if you have wealth, as in money, if you aren't healthy to enjoy it? What if you used your wealth and health together - to better the lives of others? That would be ideal.

Did you know that in 1986, the people of the U.S. spent over $458 billion on health care. That was over 20 years ago and that number is now at an alarming $2 TRILLION a year on health care. This blows me away and is very heartbreaking. There is more education on health and wellness than any other time in history and yet there's a rebellion style of living. I ask you...are you going to allow another day to slip by without taking complete care of your yourself - mind, body and spirit?
