I look at weight as a long-term health issue more than anything else. I exercise on a regular basis and each time I do so I refer to it as an 'investment' in my Health IRA. As I read health articles, more and more attention is given to preventative methods such as exercise that will make growing older more enjoyable and decrease my chances of developing health problems. With health care costs sky-rocketing and being self-employed this is a big concern for me.
