All of us are a bit coo coo over Wellness today. The Affordable Care Act or Obamacare is punishing Doctors and Hospitals and Businesses that FAIL to motivate their Patients and Workers to take better care of themselves. One of the favorite factors, so Obamacare creators think, is being skinny. Very few of us are skinny! In fact, many of us are Obese. (In America, the greatest threat to poor people is Obesity!)
So everyone is on the lose weight bandwagon. Unfortunately, not many Doctors, Nurses, Counselors, Managers, Insurance Agents, etc know how to motivate obese people to weigh less. The Kaiser Company not only got on the bandwagon for health, wellness and fitness they built the wagon! They also researched how well their weight loss programs worked. In a word, not well. Many, many dropped out of the free classes, exercise programs and rewards for losing weight. WHY?
Since Kaiser is an insurance company they had a lot of medical history of the participants. Guess what? Those who were most successful in losing weight dropped out the most. That sounds crazy! It is not normal. Why?
Want to guess why?
Losses and shock, trauma, abuse did it.
Get my book Breaking Free to read how to heal these hurting hearts and souls.
