This truly is the land of plenty. I don't even think I'm that talented at what I do for a living. I don't have a college degree. I barely graduated high school. But I'm making good coin. I think you have to recognize that this "obesity" problem is a combination of leisure and abundance. Like Winnie the Pooh. But the gymnasium is an abstraction. It's so much easier to exercise when it is an organic part of a lifestyle.

When I was a drifter, I walked a lot, I carried a heavy pack, I procured and cooked my meals under varying circumstances. And subsequently, I was in the best shape of my life. When I returned to "normal" life, one of the hardest things was trying to hold on to that daily allowance of walking, and the way it just fit into your daily chores of cadging a living.

When you drive everywhere, when you have every convenience, when you're only exercise at work is walking to the elevator, and you reach middle age, it gets tougher and tougher. Nevermind the fact that the meal at the end of the day is partly a reward for suffering through the BS day. Not making excuses for people, but the cards are stacked against them. Or else I'm wrong.

you're=your


I don't know when I started making THAT kind of error. I hate to say it, but it's the weed and wine, methinks.

WEll I weigh the same 160 lbs at age 68 that I did at 20( 6 ft 1/4 inch )
Wish it was the 170 ( 6% body fat ) that I did at 21 But I started jogging at 40 and back on the weights at 49 ( very hard to get that 10 lbs more muscle muscle back at that age )
