Things like taking the easy way (and less healthy way) out when preparing food, not getting kids out and moving, because tv / computer / video games are such a good babysitter for busy parents-- they make a huge difference overall.Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-27216060980798925402012-10-13T18:51:31.287-07:002012-10-13T18:51:31.287-07:00Lifestyle changes are good for weightloss.

Guess that's why I'm getting so fat now, after almost 8 years in the one place.Kate Larkindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202347563426692610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-18841408549384471042012-10-13T08:27:39.523-07:002012-10-13T08:27:39.523-07:00I wasn't overweight when I was working full ti...I wasn't overweight when I was working full time in an office but I had the normal pounds that most people could lose. When I left my job to stay home, I lost 14 pounds over the course of 4 months. And not because I was trying to. It was simply the change of not sitting all day, not having access to all the junk people tend to bring to an office, and preparing meals from fresh ingredients instead of prepackaged stuff. Avoiding starbucks helped too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052604405996474436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-37347990814843634622012-10-13T03:38:03.089-07:002012-10-13T03:38:03.089-07:00At my daughter's school, they only have gym 2 ...At my daughter's school, they only have gym 2 out of the 6 days in their 6-day cycle. And her school goes up to 5th grade. I had gym every day by then. Also, I agree that when we were young, we were always playing outside. Kids now sit in front of their video games all the time.Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-25582928056729119902012-10-13T02:11:00.121-07:002012-10-13T02:11:00.121-07:00Yeah.

Look at the majority of female musicians these days and it's all about the flat belly and nothing about whether or not they can sing or play or write songs. It makes me mad!Kate Larkindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202347563426692610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-69366380316899518962012-10-13T01:41:54.509-07:002012-10-13T01:41:54.509-07:00I'm one of those fat people now!

Outdoor activities replaced by TV and the computer. <br /><br />I fought my weight for years and years. I'm very happy not to anymore. Life is short and good food is one of the few real pleasures left that doesn't cost much. I'm enjoying my remaining days and don't see why people have become such worshipers of the young and the skinny. Look at all the rag mags that trash an actress if she gains a little weight. What about people's personalities, intelligence and ethics? I guess those things aren't important anymore. It's all about how you look.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.com
