How Debt and Fat Are Alike
I was sitting at my desk thinking and it occurred tome that debt and fat are a lot alike. For example, many people get fat because they are not paying attention to what they are eating. They simply eat to feel good and have no internal mechanism for deciding when they have had enough. They eat until full rather than until satisfied.
The same is true with debt, people spend to satisfy and emotional need or to impress others but they don’t realize that they are digging themselves into a bigger hole. Think about this, fat can limit what a person can do and how much they can enjoy their lives and if you think about it debt does the same thing.
When people are in debt they look for quick fixes rather than behavior changes just like people who are overweight. They look to companies like Medifast to bail them out rather than taking responsibility for their own bodies.
