It’s like a game of Spot the Boobies.

2 years ago, I weighed 162 pounds.  Today I weigh 126.

I didn’t lose the weight by hating myself down to a size 4.  Not through dieting, not through crazy amounts of exercise, not through calorie counting, or purging.

I lost 35 pounds by learning to love and take care of my body.  I realized that part of loving myself is giving my body what it needs.  I changed my diet to include mostly plants, I cut out soda and fought hard against my addiction to sugary/fatty foods.  I began to see food as fuel and to use it as such.  I also made sure my body was in motion for at least 1 hour everyday, and these days I am even working on becoming physically stronger.  I knew that my old eating/exercise habits would not suit me as I began to age.  I knew that I wasn’t treating my body well.

When I truly began to love it, it took a new shape.  I loved my old shape.  I love my new shape.  I love it all because I love me! x)

A-fucking-men.

I was just watching Ricky Gervais’ stand-up comedy.  He gets a lot of minutes out of fat people and the message is, “You’re fat because you’re greedy and you eat too much.”  The part that bothers me isn’t that he’s mean — it’s that he’s so freekin’ wrong.

I don’t know any fat person who hasn’t tried eating less.  Hey, if that worked, who would be fat?

I changed my diet to include mostly plants, I cut out soda and fought hard against my addiction to sugary/fatty foods.

There it is.  It’s not rocket science.  

Most of what we eat is not even a food.  It’s stuff that you could not even digest in its raw state, processed so that you can stay alive eating it.  In some cases, like high fructose corn syrup, it’s more of an addictive drug than a food.  All the while, your body is saying, “Oh, there’s no food!  I should store up fat to get through this famine!”

But, we live in a world where industry is trying to feed the most people with the least effort. Over-processed poverty-chow that ships cheap, with a freekishly long shelf life is the American staple.  Add a powerful dairy and beef lobby and the government practically mandates hamburgers — threatening you with that terrible “protein deficiency”.  Go outside and see how many people you can count who aren’t getting enough protein.
