NEED vs. WANT

Let us assume that you are a person that needs a particular lifestyle modification. Needs are easy to identify and do not readily equate to change when the human mindset evaluates the problem. I frequently hear phrases like "I need to get back in the warehouse again" or "I need to stop eating at restaurant XYZ for lunch." "Need" does not address the problem. "Need" provides a temporary fix by making you feel better in the moment through stating the problem.

There are 120 plus employees at CAEC; I consider all of you clients. As my client your direct exposure to a healthier lifestyle (actually in my presence) is limited around your work schedule and home schedule and my work schedule and home schedule. Furthermore, it is limited to whether or not you "want" to participate in some (not necessarily all) of the lifestyle modifications we advocate. This decision, whether or not you "want" to change, is critical to your success or failure in the proposed lifestyle modification.

I chose this topic because every week I experience someone that WANTS to modify their physical fitness and nutrition lifestyle. This weeks' story is special because the client provided me with the infrmation he researched, showing me the lifestyle modification he explored and discovered on his own. This is "want". If you are going to experience a successful lifestyle modification it is going to require a little work. Work to discover what works for you. I am a guide that is here to help all of you in any way that I can, you must "want".

The client in discussion directed me to a website, www.fatsecret.com. This website is free and provides information that allows you to analyze your individual physical activity, nutrition, and calorie needs per day. The user is allowed to input their daily foods and activities to discover whether they are in calorie balance, deficit, or surplus. Fatsecret.com is a pretty cool tool that I suggesat for people that "want".

The client has told several other clients about the website as well as his spouse, who is also using this site daily. This is how wellness works!
