In reply to Dr. Umar Dar. I agree, Umar, there are companies out there who benefit from selling a lot of cheaply produced food.

I believe that our health is our personal responsibility. As medical doctors we are required to provide patients with options, but we can not impose treatment on them as long as we consider them sane. It should also be noticed that obesity is often seen as an opportunity for big business to make money. It’s like offering an alcoholic a free beer with every purchase of an amusement park ticket. Business and corporations continue to exploit the vulnerabilities of people suffering with obesity all in the name of “inclusion” and due to the sensitive nature of the topic many of us don’t voice our concerns. Celebrities are notorious for doing this as well. Please feel free to read more about celebrity sabotage on weight, on my blog http://www.drumardar.wordpress.com 🙂

In reply to sean. Exactly, sean! We are so busy *doing* things that we hardly spend to think about *what* we actually are doing.

Derek, for me Florida always translates to “Miami Vice”.

Yeah, TV gives you illusions 😉

In reply to sean. Whats awesome is you noticed it and did something about it. Most won't even admit it unless something life threatening comes of it much less do something about it.

Oh I love my state, between all the sweating and bugs people are bound to slide into a roller coaster- no need to widen the seats.

It felt like I woke up one day, 60 pounds overweight. I lost alot of weight when I started paying attention. It’s hard to pay attention when you eat what you are served. When you order a burger, and get 7000 calories and a gallon drum of soda to wash it down. In our busy days, I think it’s important to take a step back, and look at what we put in our bodies. And please stop comparing Europe and America. Great article as always, Evil.

I can see how it would work in theory, a smaller container for the portion of food would make the serving seem larger so your mind would make you think you have more to eat. I do this for lots of my meals and it does work to a degree.

However you’re right that it doesn’t quite work if you’re at a place where you can get as much as you want and know it.

In a way I was as I wasn’t happy with myself in the least but when it would get me down, I would just go eat something which just made things worse of course.

In the end, I just kinda got tired of it and wanted to see if I could change. Started watching what I ate, tried walking every day, and saw the pounds start to come off and haven’t stopped progressing in one way or another since.

A lot of ideas are very debated. Doesn’t make them true, or false for that matter. Most fat people don’t even try to lose weight and blame it on their glands/genetics/whatever. That’s what bothers me… And inflicting obesity on a kid is just…terrible. I mean some parents (not all) should go to jail for stuff like this. It’s not like they live in the stone age. They have every information readily available and still…
