good job rocky 

[southernraven1969]

What's making kids fat??Lazy parents who feed them fast food instead of COOKING HEALTHY MEALS..(And please don't say u don't have time..DON'T HAVE KIDS,THEN!!)...Then,you have lazy ass kids who sit on the couch all day,playing video games...WAA!!!CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE AND EATING HABITS!!

[ncfwhitetigress]

I know exactly how Rocky feels. He's trying to find the underlying cause so he can treat it and not just the symptoms, one of which is his obesity.

[alphacause]

The obesity epidemic among children is so out of hand, that I would say of all issues that threaten the future of this nation, the rapidly growing obesity problem of our youth will be the one culprit that, more than any other problem, will likely break this country in the future more so than terrorism, the deficit, global warming, or the machinations of foreign governments. The problem is so extreme, that I would propose a radical solution. (see in next post)

[justinsmommm]

OBESITY IS A BY PRODUCT .

 AGAINST OBESITY NOT AGAINST OBESE PEOPLE. Best wishes Paul

[wogahboy]

simple! eat less exercise more.

[RedFlower26]

It's not that simple. Pedople have to also change WHAT they eat. They have to get away from processed foods. For me, I largely stay away from anything that has high fructose corn syrup in it, because it's not suppose to be in my diet.

[MrGrevy]

@RedFlower26 Calories are the bottom line, not sugars and carbs. Moron.

[petermccann2004]

are you the fat chap in this programme

[TheTigerOne]

You spelled program incorrectly.

[NOIRIST]

'Programme' is the UK English spelling but both are acceptable.

[kjang1994]

i hate it how people call people fat for no reason when they did nothing wrong

[TheTigerOne]

You imbecile, people call people fat because they have high amounts of FAT in their body. Is that so fucking hard to understand?

[JadenTheCoolGuy]

hmmmm so you feel the need to call other people fat. that must mean you have extreme insecurity about the way YOU look huh buddy?

[moralhiground]

Dhhuuuhh...where did THAT come from?? Heads up, 'buddy', they ARE fat...and we can all see it...same as calling a.n.other person blonde, or skinny...it's stating a FACT.

Now, maybe calling them obese, lazy, weak-willed, repulsive flabby slobs, on the other hand...

From

an ex-fat person...

and yes, I got that way be EATING TOO MUCH...difference is, I took responsibility for it and didn't sit there bleating on about how I was such a poor poor victim and no body would help me boo hoo

[smurfp4444]

OBESITY IS A BYPRODUCT.PLEASE VIEW  OBESITY THUNDER BAY. Is food a substance???? What is the current plan ???

If food is a substance ,than is it possible to have a food subtance abuse issue.

Thanks Paul

Just start by making small changes that you can stick with. Slowly switch to diet soda and only low-calorie sweetened foods. Then, once you get used to that, make some more small changes such as walking up the stairs NO MATTER WHAT. Then, when you get used to those changes, start adding more changes. If you keep doing all of the small changes that you promise yourselves, you'll see big changes.

Eventually, you'll stop drinking soda, stop eating (or over eating) candy, and be more healthy!

[JadenTheCoolGuy]

this kid really pisses me off! he doesnt acutually want to lose weight but yet he complains about it and expects our sympathy. if he doesnt have any motivation to get thin then he doesnt have to, he just shouldnt complain about something hes not willing to change.

[agbdd2ke]

Thats how we should all treat obese people nicely and with respect and class. That woman has class. I overcame obesity by losing 81 pounds and have kept it off and its so true we have to want to do it a doctor can talk till his/her face is blue it won't get the job done till we say okay now its time to kick it up a notch and go for it in life.

[jakerodely]
