fatness

Oh yes, doughnuts might as well be applied to my hips, cause that is where they end up if I eat them. I agree that many overweight people do more talking than doing, but I think that is because it is hard to do. Starvation and smoking sure aint the way to do it as you found out. Doing it sensibly takes a long time and lots of perseverance. We live in a I want it now society. I have a big concern about todays children. when I am at either my sons or daughters schools, kids today are heavy. I would have fit in better now, and been one of the small ones, than in the 70's when I was a teen and was one of the big ones. Big parents a lot of times, have big kids. The kids are not growing up with the skills they need to stay healthy and fit, because it is not part of their parents lives. These kids are just going to grow up and get heavier and heavier, and likely not have a clue how to lose the weight and keep it off. They certainly don't learn it at school either. Candy and pop machines make the school money, cutting PE saves the schools money, and the PE classes they have are usually not that active. My son told me last year he liked when they played a certain game, because all the "lazy" kids had an option to stroll around the track while the kids who really wanted to play played. Just telling someone to lose weight is not going to help. Some people don't even understand what a portion size is, or how much of something they should have each day. Not sure what the answer is, but I see this getting worse and worse not better.
