It’s next to impossible for someone with endocrine disease to want to get up and do exercise. We never have energy.

The point of my story is that we as a society try to manufacture reasons that we should all be obese.

Most people do not have true medical issues that predispose them to obesity. Often times obesity is a wicked self fulfilling problem. Many people who are obese do not have the energy or will to move much nor eat right. I know I didn’t. I would rather drink a 5th of whiskey than run around the block in 100 degree weather.

I mention my wife’s obesity because I didn’t marry an obese woman. I married a thin energetic woman. She has managed to pile excuse upon excuse in order to reach her current weight and health issues.

Of course its easy for me. I mean anyone can commute to work by bike but it is only my body type that actually loses weight under those circumstances.

Almost nobody wants to get up and exercise, whether you have an endocrine disease or not. I certainly don't. I don't have any energy, not only from endocrine disorder but from asthma. So what? We have to do it anyway. We have to do a lot of things we don't really want to do. I don't want to get up and go to work--I don't have the energy for that, either. But not feeling like it is not an excuse. You make a decision and you do it.
