We all spend money on "necessary" things...house payment, food, clothes, children's schooling needs etc. We also spend "discretionary" monies on recreational things, such as eating out, hobbies such as golf, vacations etc. We make decisions all the time as to where to direct our hard=earned money.
What is it worth if you could "buy" living for more years free of disease processes such as heart disease or diabetes? What would it be worth to you to look and feel 10 years younger? What price would you pay to be able to wear those clothes in the closet that no longer fit?
The answer for most people: Those above mentioned things are worth LOTS.
Whether it be investing in a piece of gym equipment for your home, hiring a personal trainer, or even entering a weight loss program such as ours, your investment into your own health and happiness is the very best investment you can make.

weight loss and investment
Good morning....I am writing this entry from Florida....yes, your doctor does take an occasional few days off...thank you to Donna and the staff for providing the great care in my absence.
Me Marsha posted a comment yesterday that was positively commenting on the "worth" of our program, basically saying that if she totaled up all the monies she has spent on "fad" diets, this would have exceeded what her investment is in our program, and although expensive, she feels better "worth for her money" being in a medically supervised program.
Money is precious as we all work so hard to earn it. Taking a grand and investing this in a weight loss program is a big chunk of money. However, lets look at the flip side: What happens if we develop a serious disease such as a heart attack, diabetes, breast cancer or pancreatic cancer? How much lost wages will be realized because of time away from work? How many doctor/hospital bills will not be fully covered by insurance? How much money will be spent on medications?
The answer is that preventing the comorbidities of being overweight will SAVE you tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars in the big picture. Your investment into your own health is the very BEST investment you can make. I am not just talking about paying for our program...such things as hiring a personal trainer, getting workout equipment for your house , etc...all of these "investments" will save you LOTS of money over time. The added bonus: you will feel happier, look younger, improved self-confidence.
You cannot invest in the stock market , real estate or anything else nearly as high a return on your investment as investing in YOUSELF.
