How long can we continue to go on this way? How long can we teach are children that it is okay to order the large anything at a fast food drive-in (or a deli for that matter). It isn't okay. It isn't okay for you to keep gaining weight.
Not because there is any one way to look and if you are not thin you are not okay -- but because you are not nurturing yourself. It is not okay to keep using food as a substitute for friends or activity or stress reduction -- because it masks the problems and does not solve them.
It is not okay to say that you must just be this way. Or to say there isn't any way you can eat less, you already eat hardly anything right now -- your waistline says something else.
It is not okay to say you have tried everything and nothing has worked. Get creative, try something new, ask for help. This is your life we are talking about. It is about giving your family and friends more time on this Earth with you. It is about living your life to the fullest you can imagine and not regretting letting your weight stop you from doing anything. It is about creating a nation of healthy people instead of a nation where most of us are obese, on insulin and always take the stairs because we can't climb a flight of stairs without becoming out of breath. That is not okay.
