However, just because there are temptations doesn't mean you have to give in. I believe getting morbidly obese is a full time job whereas doing a marginal amount of fitness activity requires much less action.
I have never had a fried twinkie....that just sounds gross. :eek:
Once an overweight person shifts into that obese column, moving is more painful and a lot more tough. Yes, it is what they need to do, and on the WW boards, when people ask how to get into the habit of exercising, I always say start with 20 minutes a day, and as your body adjusts and gets used to that start. But it is getting started that is so very hard for people.
Nope, no one force feeds people, although I have had friends and family members tell me I am skinny now, why don't I just have...... and someone who is not strong enough would give in, heck I give in at times.
And losing the weight is not as easy as gaining the weight, you can think it is, but it just plain is not.
There is a lot more to being obese than just an eating problem, just as there is a lot more to anoerexia than an eating problem.
