Yes, turned 80 this year. Obese woman all her life, syrian descent and eats everything. Tons of fruit, veggies, you name it. All balanced, no extremes. Just lots of everything. Also drinks lots of iced tea. NO heart problems. NONE. She has a very discerning palate, too (actually just an acute sense of smell). No it’s not me. She does have an inherited problem though with her veins, but not weight related.
genetics most likely
My mother on the other hand ate lots of potato chips and cookies and cake and junk food. Stroke at 72.
When they control their blood sugar by losing weight they stop getting serious infections and other symptoms.
They lose weight and blood sugar controlled and they crave the crap food and gain it back again.
and over
Your thoughts?
True, I am specifically talking diabetes and yo-yo,
But I think they want fat people to not give up so they tell them to try again.
See food diet, you mean. LOL
They better not!
I just quit smoking two weeks ago after smoking for forty years!
Hang on. I’ve got to pick-up a midnight combo pizza
and a couple of 40s.....oh, and some ice cream. Save
my place; I want to read this.
Orson Welles. Barely.
Mark Twain observes of Tom Sawyer’s Aunt Polly, “she was particularly devoted to her health magazine, never noticing that the good advice in this one contradicted the good advice in the previous one.”
OK, then the hell with it...pass the bag of donuts.
I guess Gov Christie will live forever.
I do. I have known several fat women who have lived over 90.
They were actually normal women, but by todays BMI they were considered obese.
It’s said that a glass or two of wine is great for the heart. Dunno about any other type of alcohol, though. Wine gives me a headache, and I love beer and whiskey.
Thank you.
I don’t foresee ever smoking again as I have really lost the desire and it is such a pain in the ass because of the no-smoking fanatics. At least I am not paying their taxes for them.
A pox on them all.
(Not aimed at you dear just the same type of fanatics that brought us prohibition and therefore empowered the IRS, Justice Department and the mob which in turn gave us the Kennedy clan.)
It took me several tries to actually stick to it and I have been happy about that ever since. I finally made myself imagine what cancer of the larynx would be like every time I smoked a cig. After a couple of weeks I threw the pack against the wall and never smoked again.
It was sometime after that the smell of smoke started making me hate it.
Thousands. We lived near century village and other retirement communities.
Thousands upon thousands.
