I just don't understand at what point in ones life do people decide to stop moving. I go crazy if it rains a few days in a row and I can't go out and WALK. When do people lose the urge to move?
I believe that in many cases it's the ol' frog in the pot thing.....it's just a gradual process. Then they get older, and they naturally get more and more sedentary. And the process accelerates.
I've seen alot of people die, way too soon, and the only thing that precipitated their health problems was their obesity. It's quite sad...
I think the morbidly extremely obese get that way with help. I've had 800 lb patients that, against doctor's orders.....family members brought in food to them. They've obviously been bringing the family member food for years...because the family member can barely go to the bathroom....let alone go to the kitchen to make a meal.
