I noticed that in the time I have been a member of free republic, I have put on 17 pounds. There are so many interesting topics being debated on this site, that I spend more hours here than I should, and have less time to work out.
Participating in free republic is a lot like watching TV, and if one is not careful in watching one's hours, one can turn into an internet version of a TV couch potato.
How many freepers have seen a weight gain?

Actually I have lost a few pounds over the time I have freeped here, but I just figured up that if I had gained in proportion to what you have gained here, I would be 85 pounds heavier. Considering my original weight , I would now weigh 300 pounds.
I'm not suggesting that you give up FreeRepublic, but it might be good for your health to run around your neighborhood or even walk for two minutes for every one minute you spend freeping. Either that or jump into posts with barf alerts, every chance you get. That won't make you a genuine anerexercis, (what ever) but it will substantially curb your appetite.

I think that all activities can be linked to obesity in America, given that it's an American "epidemic". Take me for example, my wife has been nagging me for three months to clean out the garage. From the start of her nag to now I've gained 7 pounds. She doesn't believe me when I tell her that she's the cause. She'll believe me when her bitching causes Richard Simmons to come into our bedroom and bawl over me because I'm too damned fat to get out of bed.
I think that the sad truth is that we're just all getting fatter and fatter no matter what we do. Embrace it. Enjoy it.

I am not overweight although I sometimes gain a pound or two. When I do, I am more careful until I lose it. Exercise? Not me! As my brother in law new freeper Ah Beng says, " I hire someone to do that for me!"

I've found a useful way to offset the trend to gain weight while on FR is occasionally spend just one day reading articles posted from the NYT and the Washington Post along with editorials by Sheila J. Lee and Bill Press. The resulting nausea is usually good for a couple of pounds weight loss. If all else fails view threads with pics of Hillary, but use this one with caution!

Actually, a few months after discovering the internet I made the unpleasant discovery that I had put on 40 pounds. I am happy to report that I have taken most of it back off, but it's a constant battle, especially for a petite female.
