"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.... |

It's so weird - around the globe there are billions of people who are rail thin, who have no clue what "obesity" even is. I mean, it's just some minor miracle that the obesity rates have suddenly shot up in wealthy nations. We must have completely different DNA! (And different DNA from our parents and grandparents, none of whom faced the crisis. DNA mutated rapidly I guess)

Sure people complain about the obesity epidemic, but on the bright side that means more quality blowjobs.

My conspiracy theory is that all the shit preservatives in food drastically reduces your sex drive, which means you don't care about attracting the opposite sex.
When I first started my diet, and stopped eating shit, I got a tingle in my dick that still hasn't gone away. I want to eat healthy because I want to procreate. |

My guess is that your bloodflow has improved as you've gotten in better shape. Whatever the reason, I can't think of a better way to burn calories. |

Note that this isn't an excuse, nor does it make it a disease. Food reward is simply a factor in why some people overeat. Knowing about it can help to develop strategies to avoid it, making it easier to eat less. |

I use myfitnesspal on my iPhone, too. I've found that, whenever I don't keep track and decide to cheat, that's when my diet turns to shit. I'm thinking about starting a blog. I'm a woman, so getting my thoughts out is a must.

You wouldn't believe how fast calories add up until you start to write them down.

It's not a decision to over eat?
