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.

Maybe its something in the water down there in the Ozarks. I drank like a fish down there too.

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.

That's funny. The only other history I have with heavy drinking was in 1999...when I lived in Branson.

That was only 6 months though.

I got faith in ya! Just a matter of replacing one habit for another.

For instance meth instead of alcohol will kill 2 birds with one stone.

How in the **** have I never thought of this? I live in the meth capital of the world! People in California call our meth 417.

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

You keep making the mistake of lumping overweight in with obesity, two very different monsters. It doesn't take a ton of work to decrease your weight if you are obese so stop being obtuse.

And for the record, I workout a grand total of 5 hours a week.

It was a joke.

Well based on your previous posts, you made it seem like someone who was busy with life didn't have the time commitment to put towards working out.

My mistake.
Carry on then.

Lately, I haven't had time. But I'm far, far, far from obese.

I was just making fun of the Omaha/GoChiefs narrative.

That's pretty much exactly how I did it. Only I added some delicious ass rabbit food to the protein.

I work out six hours a week, tops, and half that is biking.

My personal philosophy has always been you probably waste several hours a week doing something stupid/destructive, like watching TV...so why not work out?

Eat less, move more.

It is difficult to break old habits, but that is just an excuse. So is justifying the cost of real food vs processed food.

I am 36, a father, work more than 40 a week mostly behind a computer. I realized how heavy I had gotten. Did research and then did something about it. Did I do it right? No, I am sure that I could have done it more efficiently. But I did it. It all starts with committing to it, then eating less and moving more.

Family commitments is an issue. I have to get up at 4 am to get my workout in so that I have time for the family. I eat less cals on the days that I have birthday parties/family functions. It is all about taking personal responsibility for yourself and your choices.

Obesity is not a disease. A disease is a simple way of labeling it to take personal responsibility out of the equation and justify poor choices.

I was going to state something about the amount of time I work out, but a lot of things that I do for fun could be considered working out. I don't really consider biking a workout, although it is. It's just something I do for fun. The same goes for racquetball, football, running, volleyball, and many other things I do.

I spend a lot of time being active, but I think it's pretty silly when I hear people say they can't find an hour each day to work out.
