Alcoholism and Obesity are symptoms of the disease and the disease is addiction.

You can be addicted to anything some without negative consequences.

You can be addicted to work, working out, sex, chocolate, food, alcohol, etc.

Anorexia is a symptom of of the disease of addiction. The addiction of wanting to be thin at all costs.

You're fat, aren't you?

Am I addicted to exercise because I go 3-4x a week and eat healthy and like to look good with my shirt off?

The "I can be addicted to anything" is a tiresome argument.

Narcissism isn't a disease.

But it can lead to douchebaggery.

I love how fat people point the finger of narcissism for those who care about their appearance. Like that is some sort of bad thing. I like working out but there are plenty of days I would like to skip the gym, but I don't. I have honestly never been depressed a day in my life and I think working out consistently plays a large role in that and the fact I am comfortable with myself, inside and out.

Always enough haters to go around I suppose. Thanks Dave!

I was just being funny. Thought that was obvious. Way to be a bitch about it though.

I love you too.

Let me know when you want me to write you a workout/diet plan.

I'm not fat, but I could lose about 10 pounds to be at my ideal healthy weight.


The problem I have is I try to buy healthy food at the groc. store but it seems more expensive than buying what gets us by. "Healthy Choice" say is more expensive than "Banquet" food products. That is just an example. Diet food cost more than regular foods. So I know "Healthy Choice" or "Smart Choice" brands are good for me but I chose "Banquet" product because it is cheaper and on a budget.

That is an example of what I think is part of the problem & no one really brings up the cost of diet food vs regular foods.


Hamburger & other meats cost more with less fat content. I don't pay much attention except the cost of the product if I can afford it.

These are issues I think America has & part of why people get so fat.
