I don't think just what we put, or don't put, in our bodies should be the only thing to determine whether or not we are obese or not. Personally, I have always eaten crappy foods and healthy foods; it was a nice balance, but I never technically had to watch what I ate or count things. Now, I find myself attempting to eat better and in smaller portions and I will admit, I suck at doing that. I know that it is a issue now because I am not involved in sports like I was seven times a week, every week. I could eat junk and be somewhat toned because I was constantly on the go. Now, I play maybe one intermural sport a semester and stayed hyped up in my room studying, or having girl night. Besides I'm an RTF student so tv and movies are my life, so I spend most of my time persuing the brilliance that is the big screen. I do not receive near as much exercise as I should be getting, but at least I am aware of that, and I am okay with it.
What is ridiculous is people don't realize that when they try a new diet, they have to do more than that. Sure it is great internally for you body to eat better foods, but that isn't just the only thing you must do. When you see those television adds that says "take this tablet once a day and you will shed pounds" people tend to not listen to the rest of the ad. Every single one of those ads I have seen also say or read "...along with eating healthy, water, and daily exercise". Well duh! If you ate healthy, drank water, and exercised daily, of course you are going to loss weight. The tablet isn't what is working, it is the other stuff that you should be doing along with that stupid tablet. I understand it is difficult for most people to do all of that with our busy schedules, lack of money, and just will power. Lets face it, I have been saying I am going to eat better and exercise for weeks now and I just enjoyed a yummy slice of pizza about an hour ago...it was delish!
Also, when we discussed that that ridiculous lady said fat people aren't happy, are you kidding me? I know plently of people that are a tad over weight and several who could be considered obese, but they are some of the happiest and funniest people I know. I think it is how you handler yourself and what you make out of your life. If you are happy with yourself then who cares what others think. I enjoy food and food makes me happy, I just try to stay active. And if it works for me, obviously it works for other people as well.
