I feel the need to "weigh" in here. I never watch reality shows, and rarely even watch TV, cause there seems to be nothing on but reality shows. Anyway as a semi heavy weight I am compelled to come to the defense of fat people.

Too many "thin" people think us fatties just sit around eating and feeling sorry for ourselves. But for me and I'm sure others that's not true. I know I have eating issues, but I also have a body that's very good at storing fat. I have been working hard at better eating and it is paid off. But even the slightest backslide to my old way of eating and I gain weight. And I'm talking about having a couple extra slices of bread and a few chips with lunch, not eating a carton of ice cream. It amazes me how pro food this country is. We really can get by on a lot less food. But we are bombarded with the message to eat more and more. It's disgusting. No wonder there are so many fat people.

I've logged over 4500 miles this year on my bike, go to the gym three times a week and lately have been spending a lot of time behind a snow shovel. I am losing weight but only about a pound a week. It's hard to come in and have a bowl of cottage cheese with a banana for lunch when I've been out shoveling snow all morning.

Maybe I'm just a little cranky with the 60" of snow we've had fall in the last two weeks. Or maybe it's because I've had no cookies, cakes or candy since September. Anyway, not jumping on anyone toes, just saying it's not that easy for everyone to be thin.

And now that the plow has just come and plowed out the street, I'll be going out to dig out the driveway, AGAIN! bikerHen
