It is too bad that alot of people pile on fat people as being solely those who overeat. I’ve been cutting back, and don’t seem to be losing alot. I’m taking responsiblity for my eating, but they aren’t open minded enough to understand that not everyone is an overeater. Nor do they understand how hurtful it is to be constantly criticized and scrutinized over everything we eat.
AMEN!
That is my point. It’s easy to sit back and say that those who are overweight ate a box of donuts this morning.
Here is my example.
I have two daughters. One is skinny, one is getting chunky.
The chunky one is the child constantly in motion. She loves veggies. We don’t do sugar in our house because I am fighting weight. No pop, no juice, low-fat milk (8 oz per meal only) She is an ice water drinker. Her idea of dessert is a peach or apple.
The skinny one is a bookworm. She eats anything she wants and only moves when her sister pulls her out. Her idea of a snack would be cake (if we had it) She and Daddy have a secret stash of candy that they eat when the little one is in bed.
So why is the little one chunky? She eats less and moves more.
It’s not quite that easy, is it?
