Has anyone noticed that you don't see all that many fat peops in their 60's. Even less in their 70's. Either they're staying home or have moved to the next chapter. I'm in my fitties....
I had a conversation this morning with my girl. She's a 45YO runner/boot camp junkie/vegetarian/health freak. Crux of the talk was why we dance around the fat discussion and accept weight gain and irresponsible health habits form those we are closest to. Not so many years ago, family members and friends might mention one's weight gain. That doesn't happen any more - we just accept it. She asked me if she should say something to me when weight goes up. My answer - hell yes. Checks and balances. I think we worry about hurting each others feelings way too much.
There's no reason to be overweight - we have the knowledge.
