Over the last three decades, obesity in America increased three times. This means that it is no longer limited to people who are genetically predisposed to obesity, and there are all sorts of people who have been slim before who have become obese.
Now from what I can tell, most of these people don’t actually want to be obese. They may not want to be harassed or discriminated against, but I don’t think that obesity is their ideal. I say from experience that there is hope.
In school, I was the shortest and weakest kid in class. In my adult life I’ve been doing tons of exercise, and I now am in better shape than most people my age, including many people who have been jocks.
Some people think that they have no time for exercise. That is incorrect. Anyone can spare half an hour a day. It improves productivity and it improves disposition, and the time that is expended on exercise pays for itself. As is said, “People who have no time for physical exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.”
When I was writing on this subject on Google Groups, I was called a fat-basher and accused of thinking with my penis. I bear fat people no ill will. There were any number of overweight people whom I respected and even loved. Once again, I do not believe that these people actually want to be obese. Most of them would not be obese if they found a workable way to slim down.
I know for a fact that there is such a way. If I can go from the shortest and weakest kid in class to doing sets of 200 fingertip push-ups, then most fat people can slim down as well. Budget half an hour a day for exercise. And see your productivity and disposition improve even as you become healthier.
