I've exercised regularly since the age of 22 when my ballerina girlfriend dumped me for someone effectively identical to me in every major way except that he was ripped and he could dance (and oh yeah, Atari ST versus Amiga). He and I have even indirectly intersected over the years. That event was both heartbreaking and catalytic for me. I have been a fitness freak ever since.

Anyway, the Fitbit uncovered that I wasn't walking enough even though I had a pulse of 50 or so and all my vital signs were more or less awesome. My response was to address that immediately. But that does not seem to be the norm. The norm (at least in America) is to return to denial. A solution for that IMO is thekiller wearable business model.
In my case, 13 pounds, and yes 100% directly attributable to the mindful state induced by wearing the fitbit. But as I've said in my other two posts in this thread, my response to the information it provided does not seem to be the norm.
Or as the old joke goes: How many psychoanalysts does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the light bulb has to want to change. Devices like the fitbit offer you either the blue pill or the red pill. Which one you take is up to you.
