Chapter 1 OBESITY: “The Good Life”
Obese People Get More Exercise
As a morbidly obese person at 5’ 11” and 300+ pounds,
I was ALWAYS carrying unnecessary weight around with
me All Day EVERY DAY (and every night) FOREVER.
THE EQUIVALENT OF:
<<< THREE 50-pound bags of CEMENT
OR
ONE 150-pound Barbell >>>
The pain was so constant that depression set in.
If I asked you to pick up just
ONE bag of CEMENT how
far could you carry it ?
Could you even pick it up ?
As you know, 50 lbs of FAT
and 50 Lbs of CEMENT are
exactly equal in weight. BUT
FAT TAKES UP MUCH MORE
SPACE THAN CEMENT.
Just imagine, overweight
people carry all that extra
“CEMENT” ALL DAY & NIGHT
causing pain, depression &
suffering ruining your life.
I can personally tell you as an
obese person carrying all that
added weight all day and all
night, I had lots of exercise
because my back, feet and
knees were always in constant pain. If healthy people had as much exercise as I did, their backs, knees and
feet would be just as painful. I had to sit down as quickly as possible because I was always out of breath,
uncomfortable and exhausted carrying all that useless CEMENT all day and all night - FOREVER.
The worst part was I didn’t want anyone to know how awful I felt because I knew
the lecture I would get about my weight. At 34, romance was a distant thing of the
past and so were many other things – like swimming, boating, and even a simple
walk in the park. Why would anyone pay this price ? YES . . . I was addicted to
Processed SUGAR. Look at this 7UP ad to see why > > >
PICK ONE – A or B:
(A) A daily walk in the park with your dog or friend AND one terrific meal a-day OR
(B) Sit at home in pain with your CEMENT that cost an extra $10,000 to $30,000
a year in food and medical expenses PLUS the loss of 7 – 10 years of your life ?
