Over the past couple of weeks you may have heard the name Rob Ford. He's the mayor of Toronto, Canada, and has been making international headlines in recent weeks regarding a number of questionable activities.
In a brief recall, Ford has recently admitted to smoking crack-cocaine and excessive drinking following the release of a series of videos depicting him in an intoxicated state. Earlier this week at City Hall, he ran over a fellow council member in an apparent fit of rage in what has been the latest in a series of recent blunders.
Physically, Ford is severely out of shape. He is extremely obese and I can only speculate, but based on his appearance and the evidence of drug and alcohol abuse, he's in poor health. What's interesting about Ford, however, is that in a series of interviews, he's denied the fact that he has any problems outside of his weight.
This is a very important point because in order to get healthy, one must cknowledge they are unhealthy. Living in a state of denial or ignorance is a major impediment to seeking help and making appropriate lifestyle changes. In order for your body to be healthy, your mind must be healthy.
Enjoy your day.
