Today on "Rob, Arnie, and Dawn" Arnie said that fat people don't want to lose weight, they choose to stay fat. His argument: People know what to do to be healthy and they choose not to do these things. Enter stab to the heart from Arnie and stab in the back from myself. Am I stabbing myself in the back if I make the decision to not follow all the research, studies, advice, and well known knowledge that tells us how to eat and when to move?
I know that food is supposed to be fuel for the body, but really what about the pleasure you get from eating your favorite food? What about special occasions that revolve around breaking bread with your family and friends? Bread isn't good for you and neither are the booze that I want to drink with friends. So am I really making the decision to stay this plump? I guess so.
It really sucks to think that I would be making myself overweight when I'm trying to be of average weight. Talk about burning from both ends of the stick (is that the saying? I don't remember). I guess Ill have to make more sacrifices here even though I don't want to. I don't want to not like chocolate. I really don't want to think about the effects of junk food on my arteries as I consume it, but I guess that's what I have to do if I want to get off this plateau.
