Fat Stupid

What are you stupid? No, but "explain it to me like I'm a four-year-old." What is obese? I know it means we're overweight. (Actually its when an overweight person is overweight.) Think of it as your eating habits. If you order a Starbucks anything and its Venti, or a you morn the loss of McDonald's supersize choices, if you 7-11 and "Super or Double Big Gulp" you're probably obese. If you think snack foods should be eaten between meals and you snack every day, you're probably obese.   I don't mean to sound like an overweight Jeff Foxworthy but you just might be obese. If you desert every day and the size of the desert is larger than all the fresh vegetables you've eaten all day, you just might be a fat person.

We all feel fine and not fat at all until we're having problems breathing while walking somewhere we couldn't park close enough to enter, or can't make love as long as we use to while trying to satisfy our partners desires, or we just plain run out of steam. When we're leaning against everything to hold ourselves up while standing still or asking the young ones to slow down because we're a little tired. But we're not fat. Fat is someone else we know bigger than us but its not us. Or if it is we're happy with the way we are and you just have to accept us for who we are you skinny heifer!

Blaming you isn't the solution anymore than reminding me that I'm an obese person in waiting. What might help is more than perpetual naked mirror watching or news stories telling us that we're not as large as people from Mississippi. BMI (Body Mass Index) - It takes some higher math abilities to figure out how to compute how overweight you are scientifically. Let's just KISS (keep it simple sweetie) "if you can pinch and inch" then walk one around your neighborhood everyday.
