"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.... |

Welp, use it against me later, I don't give a ****. I lost 185lbs and put damn near every bit back on in the last 3 years. Went from running 40 miles a week, to drinking a gallon of bourbon a week. I've been trying hard to break the chains of drinking, but it's really easy to do after a long days work. Never drank in my life before I moved down here. Alcoholism runs in my family. Funny how life works. But I know it's not a disease. It's a series of horrible ****ing choices. I'm searching for the willpower to break the ****ing chains.

My generation didn't spend all day playing video games. We were outside doing something active, sunrise to sunset. Stickball, street hockey, touch football, tennis - hell, we made up games to play. Sadly, it's my generation that is allowing obesity to become an epidemic among children. Buying the PS3 because everyone else has one, then allowing thier kid to sit on it for hours on end. Going through the drive thru and feeding your kids garbage because you're in a hurry or because you can't say boo to your kid. Instead of blaming "big food", people can take personal responsibility for their predicament and do something to change their habits. It's not going to happen overnight. Small steps can lead to big change. |

So you've made some bad choices in the last 3 years. BFD. You've done it before, (lost significant weight) and you'll do it again if you want to. Start small, break those chains, then power on. |

Like I said before, I just got tired of it and figured there was something more to life than getting drunk all the time. I didn't really have a plan as to how I would find that "something more". I just assumed it would be evident if I wasn't drunk all the time. But whatever works for you, just move on to the next part of your life.

I haven't gotten to the point that I'm ready to go down that road. I've been drinking for a short period of time, and feel I can do it with will power. I'm not opposed to it however if it becomes something I feel necessary. |

If you guys would just eat an all protein diet and work out two hours every day, obesity would be eradicated.

Let's make it happen. Set a date in that timeframe, and I'll be sure to set aside the company tickets. |

I went for 7 years and was sober for that long. I enjoyed it. Met some nice people and made some nice industry contacts too. You wouldn't believe who is in AA. Hell Ringo was in town one week and kept coming to our club. But in the end it's up to you. I started feeling like I wanted a drink again and went out and did more "research" as they call it. Life is definitely much better sober and cheaper too. ****ing drinking is expensive. |
