"Obesity is a disease not a decision"
This is a new campaign that the American Medical Association actually declared obesity a disease! Billboards with this phrase are popping up around the country.
I've worked out for 10 years straight and I definitely sacrifice eating shit food even though I enjoy it just as much as the next guy. THIS IS A DECISION I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY MADE. http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/da...n-disease.html Discuss.... |

Honestly, the weight lifting at 5am throughout the year was the worst for me mentally. Sure, there were days were you'd break mentally on runs or conditioning but never in my life did I just hate everything on the planet as much as that.

I drink mostly water, but do like to cut gatorade with gingerale after a long ride. There's just something about carbonation that I really did. I like tea a lot, but haven't made any in a while. Should do that. Only other thing I drink is almond milk, as part of carnation instant breakfast before my rare early am rides.

If obesity is a disease, I'm working in Calcutta. Seriously, we got a coffee/pastry food truck outside, a breakfast vendor on site, and differing lunch vendosr/food trucks arriving throughout the day. Yesterday KFC was onsite and people were acting like Shroud's was in the breakroom pan frying up chicken, it was like they never heard of KFC before. It's an all day operation of shit food. It's 8:30 am and the food consumption planning conversations are already firing up.

Well, at least I don't have to ever worry about being overweight. Let alone obese. I imagine that would suck, like having herpes or cancer.

I really don't think that's true anymore. You would read that several years ago, but I rarely see it anymore. Eating several small meals is a strategy that works for some because it keeps them from getting hungry and eating a ton of junk food. It works for some because it keeps their calories low, not because it speeds up their metabolism.

This is what I do. I used to drink a TON of soda every day. I just stopped one day as an experiment and it was much easier than I thought it would be. The thought of drinking soda now seems crazy to me. I don't want it at all.

It's been very difficult. And when I talked with my doctor about it, frankly, he didn't believe me. He said "eat less." So... I disagree that it isn't just as easy as calories in vs. calories out. Maybe it's just me, but that's my personal experience. |

What's funny is I can pin point the exact moment when I became fat. My Dad was in the Air Force and got orders to Japan. He went there before us for 6 months to get everything set up. During that time.....my Mom, brother and I went to live with my Grandparents on their farm. My Grandma would not let you leave the table until you ate everything on your plate.....and she would make us WHATEVER we wanted. My Dad said that when we got off the plane in Japan....he didn't recognize me because I had gained so much weight...and I was only 8. It's been a ****ing battle ever since.

I'm with your doctor. I have a really hard time believing this. It's not that I don't believe you... I just don't see how this is even possible. Your dietitian's explanation also makes no sense, as you'd lose weight in "starvation mode" as s/he terms it.
