You Start Getting Overweight At The Grocery Store
I admit I am a people watcher. I enjoy going out and just like to watch people. I like to see how they act and how they interact with their friends and or families. I have spent many hours sitting in a busy mall watching all of the people just come and go. I like to see how the young people dress and how the older people dress. I enjoy seeing the people who are working zip by me with the lunch they just purchased. One amusing fact is that I noticed how Caucasian men with shorts always wear long white tube socks while African American men always wear ankle length white socks. I am not racist and I certainly do not consider myself to be a bigot. I just like to observe people in a harmless whimsical manner. One thing I have done many times is when I go grocery shopping. When at the grocery store I watch all of the people pushing their carts around. Here I always turn my attention on what is in the carts. I have noticed that the people who are overweight have what I have come to refer as "heavy" food in their cart. I have even gone with my own mother and she swears she can't lose weight. Yet when she loads up her cart she always places that gallon bottle of wine in the cart. She swears a glass or two will not affect her weight. I have presented hard facts to her about drinking a glass or two a day of wine really puts on the pounds. On my journey through the store I see the carts of others who are not overweight. They have much better or healthier items in their cart. Oh they may still have ice cream but it is not the gallon bucket. They have more greens and fewer fats. They have the low fat products and do not load up on the junk. There are exceptions to this but for the most part fat people buy fattening food and this is what makes you fat. What you put in your cart is what eventually goes in your mouth and ends up on your waist. The start of a good diet and by that I mean a healthy diet begins before you walk into the grocery store. You must remember that a modern grocery store is a selling machine. You do not even know it and you are bombarded to buy things from the moment you walk in the door. Once those doors slide open and you grab a cart your nose is assaulted with the smell of roasting chicken, The sample lady hands you a slice of the new product on a toothpick. The lights over the meat case are a different shade to make the meat more appealing. The more expensive products are at the average person's eye level. You are under assault and you are even enjoying it while it is happening. So what do you do? It is quite simple. You need to be immunized. It obvious because you have heard it before, You need to take the antidote of a full stomach before you enter the store. This will make you immune to the hundreds of items you must have when you are hungry. The second thing is to create a list and stick to it. You enter the store with the intention of only getting what is on the list. HMMMMM!!! A full stomach and a list? Now that just seems too simple. Many of your poor eating habits start in the grocery store. You need to prepare yourself for the assault before you enter. If you doubt this than take a lap around the store and look at what is in the fat person's cart and what is in the skinny person's cart. This point is even more poignant when you look at an entire fat family shopping. So the next time you see someone watching you it may not you they are watching. It may be the groceries in your cart. |
