Yesterday I wrote about the myth of "fast" food, today I want to write about the obvious outcome of the gluttonous lifestyle that many Americans overindulge in. Won't you join me as I talk about obesity?
I find it difficult to believe that there are so many fat people out there today. Admittedly, I myself am a little bit over my ideal weight (maybe 15-20 lbs, but far from obese), partly due to the fact that I LOVE to cook and bake sweets; however I also walk a lot, stretch intensively, do push-ups and sit-ups, and occasionally do yoga. My biggest concern about the obesity epidemic across this nation and into other parts of the world is this: the majority of obese people that I have met are fat, lazy, lacking self-esteem, and stupid, not to mention parked in front of the T.V. or hanging out at Wal-Mart.
Believe me, I get NO JOY in saying this... AT ALL!! The problem further continues when this level of gluttony has become the "norm". I have spoken extensively about the long term health care costs and medical related problems associated with being overweight (see past blogs) and do not wish to rehash the same info over and over again for the sake of being redundant...
Fat, stupid, and lazy... this is the new face of America. Forget the "American dream"... this is the American NIGHTMARE!! What is worse is on top of the fact that now this has become "normal", there has developed this FUCK YOU attitude about it as well towards those who are repulsed or even those (such as family members and friends) concerned with the health and welfare of their loved one, but still end up with this bitchy attitude of hostility, lack of concern, and/or embarrassment. This embarrassment, however doesn't really seem to be stopping the fat people from fucking, breeding, and spreading their gluttonous lifestyle on to younger generations (see blog "Who done did... that?"). I find this bad attitude prevalent especially in young women who are overweight... again with the FUCK YOU mentality. So if being fat, stupid and lazy weren't bad enough, three BIG STRIKES against a person, but then you add in being a BITCH or an ASSHOLE... well, you have a first class certified LOSER in the making.
On top of that I have heard ALL THE EXCUSES as to why this situation cannot change. My favorite excuse is that the person is too embarrassed to work out because they are fat... WTF?!? So a person would rather stay fat than work out in front of others?!? This is BEYOND STUPID and LAZY!! Then again comes the FUCK YOU attitude that we should just accept these people as is, continue to lower the standards on both adults and youth, shut up and not say anything?!? I DON'T THINK SO!!
I KNOW that no one is perfect. I KNOW THIS! All I am really wanting, for ALL of my blogs, ALL of my rants and raves, is to get people to WAKE UP and THINK; to take personal responsibility for your actions and behaviors, BOTH GOOD AND BAD. Like EVERYTHING else it DOES take a significant amount of effort which all too many people are unwilling to make. Notice how I said unwilling, because it is NOT a lack of ability. We ALL have the ability to do many great and amazing things, but it takes willpower, motivation, and follow-through to be successful, no matter what the undertaking may be. This willpower has decreased among Americans; to do so many things... and quite frankly I find it disturbing and sad. It must be a very shameful thing, this gluttony and obesity, as those who are afflicted often sneak around, hiding their corpulence from others, denying their own personal responsibility which is generally as easy as putting DOWN the fork. Okay, perhaps it ISN'T that simple... let's be honest... we ALL know the only REAL way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more! TRUTH!
Instead of actually doing something to help his/her self, however, the obese person often just continues to make excuses for this bad behavior and eat and eat and eat, as the food is comforting and helps them forget about the obese lifestyle choices they are making. Instead of being positive and proactive, the person, often with low self-esteem, gets angry with those who are thinner and/or in shape, cursing that person as if he/she made the wrong decision to get/stay in shape. There are so many illogical and erroneous excuses that people of all walks of life use to rationalize bad behaviors. I am sad to say this is the case because the truth is that people either don't want help or don't know how to ask, for fear of being judged, which is one of the greatest of all human fears... which makes me laugh personally because I genuinely don't give a shit about what most people think. For that matter... why do YOU care what a complete stranger thinks? As if their opinion is more important than your OWN SELF IMAGE... which is obviously battered and bruised since you substitute positive feelings and emotions for JUNK FOOD... which only negatively reinforces the low self esteem and negative self-depreciating behaviors.
What can we do? How can we stop this?
I know those who feel for their obese loved ones sometimes feel helpless and afraid. This is understandable. All the psychology, yelling, pressure, concern, or even support doesn't mean jack shit if the obese person DOESN'T WANT to eat properly, exercise, or take helpful advice/support. Again with the FUCK YOU attitude. Fat, stupid, lazy, and bitchy... this is what we have to look forward to. So don't give up on those you love. Stay strong and firm in your resolve. Get rid of the junk food and snacks, the sodas and the high fructose corn syrup sweets. START eating fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats (only about 8 to 10% of diet, NOT 40-50% as it is currently by the majority of Americans). Skip the dairy, as cow products are not only bad for the human digestive tract, but they can also lead to heart disease, osteoporosis, and a whole slew of cancers (see above image). Get rid of all the processed foods from your pantry and cupboards. Replace the junk food snacks with carrots, celery, raisins, dried fruits and nuts. Snack on strawberries, apples, and bananas if you need an afternoon or midnight snack instead of getting Taco Bell or McDonald's. But ABOVE ALL ELSE... GET RID OF THE LOUSY FUCKING ATTITUDE... NO ONE LIKES IT...
I'm not sure what else to say about that. People just need to exercise, get healthy and live longer, more fulfilling lives... if not for yourself, then at least do it for your family and loved ones... oh, and get some fucking self-esteem, PLEASE!!!
This has been the Quiet Mouse.
Truth. Peace. Compassion. Love. Respect.
