I don't have the energy to edit this tonight. I'm typing on this little notebook that is so hard to get it right. My fingers are all over the place.
There are so many fat people out there now. I see them riding in their scooters all the time.
I see them riding the elevators when they could be walking the stairs like I do.
They are constantly looking for the easy way out.
I saw a young lady coming down the walkway with a greasy bag of fries. She was eating a burger while waddling and trying to stay upright. The fat was causing her to struggle for balance.
I used to be like that.
The truth is, there is something in food today that causes excessive increases in the appetite.
People can't even wait to get to a table before they are trying to shovel the stuff in.
I used to be like that.
I get my coffee every morning from Dunkin Donuts. I get the same thing every morning, so the lady at the window has it ready for me when I pull in.
I use the coffee as one of my many intakes of fluid. No calories, just a bit of caffiene, and flavor (it's decaf).
Is caffiene the culpret? No, but it could be.
So, is it sugar, salt, or some super secret hidden ingredient?
I don't know.
Maybe, it's a combination of lifestyle, food additives, brainwashing, and lack of willpower?
I was taught to finish everything on my plate because people around the world were starving. I had to finish whether or not I was still hungry. Heavy was better back then. But we walked more, we didn't watch TV as much. We were active. We burned off extra calories.
So, now we have another crisis.
For those of us who have found WLS, we are the lucky ones.
I wish we could find out what was causing the problems and fix them so that so many people wouldn't need the surgery.

After you've had our surgery, you really do notice things you notice the many fat people, the double and triple ice cream cones, the huge portions you get in restaurants and so much more. Not long ago, I saw a morbidly obese woman walking. She was walking the way I walked when I was morbidly obese. I could tell she was in pain. I wanted to reach out, but it could be she didn't have insurance or didn't have the money for the copay that her insurance required. Anyway, I didn't even know her so the whole thing was moot anyway! It's sad to see so many young people who are grossly and even morbidly obese at such young ages. In my last support group meeting, there was a young woman who is preparing to have surgery. She had just been cleared by a cardiologist who disapproved of her plans. He said that the surgery was becoming "too popular." If you think about it, we are surrounded by food, much of it processed beyond recognition. A lot of the foods at chain restaurants, for instance, contain sugars and salts that actually encourage overeating. One prominent restaurant brags about how much food you can get for $10. If someone can refill their plate more than once for $10, they are going to stuff themselves with a lot of fat, sugar and sodium calories. It's a sad situation.
There is a comment in Chinese (I believe it's Chinese). I ran it through babblefish and it came up with a strange translation. Then, I clicked on the link since I have pretty good security on my computer.
Well, it came up as a soft core porn site, in Chinese. Click on it at your own risk. It's a shame stuff like this happens. The people over there must thinks we're really idiots.
