Chapter 2 LIFESTYLE
Obesity And Romance

There’s sure a lot of conflicting opinions about this. Unfortunately, Dr. Selby skipped this subject in his 2-
minute discussion with me that day. So, with a little help from WebMD to make sure my facts are straight:
From WebMD’s medical point of view: obesity causes blood vessels to clog from fatty deposits that can cause
the tiny arteries in the “private-parts” to shut down resulting in impotence or erectile dysfunction. Maybe So.

But from my point of view, the following was also a major factor for the decline in my romantic lifestyle during
my obese years. But, hey, this is your life – so you decide. PICK ONE AS YOUR ROMANTIC PARTNER.

I’ll bet you picked the one Nature designed.

Regardless of your like or dislike of romance – somehow it’s how we all got here. So it must be somewhat
important. Similarly, this book would not be complete without a discussion of this topic.

Thanks to Dr. Selby, my life includes direct experience before, during and after . . . including LONG after
obesity. I had a great romantic life BEFORE obesity took over. Coincidently, obesity came VERY shortly AFTER
my “wild & crazy days” ENDED WITH MARRIAGE. Life settled down, my activity level subsided (it actually
stopped), and so did the need for those “wild & crazy” added calories – BUT MY FOOD INTAKE INCREASED
WITH “THE GOOD LIFE”. Fatso and endless pain emerged rather quickly . . . . . romance soon left the room.

The fatter I got, the less interested I became in romance. The rare times I thought about it, I blamed IT ALL on
my busy career and everything else. Raising active children was also an excuse for obesity and thus lack of
romance. This lead to endless pain, depression & despair, which decreased romance AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THE ONLY REASON FOR OBESITY & ENDLESS PAIN AND DEPRESSION IS OVEREATING – NOTHING ELSE.
Overeating is ONLY because of SUGAR ADDICTION. Sugar Addiction was the cause of the disappearance of
my romantic life – NOT OBESITY. But obesity got the blame. Overeating is causing various pains all over
your body that can EASILY be reversed (see below). So can a romance – if you would like it to return.
