I was like this kid, what do we do- if anything?

[Gary O']

When I see morbidly obese moms hauling their morbidly obese four and five year olds around the grocery store, with a cart full of junk food, the kids drinking cans of soda, I want to make a citizen's arrest. Yeah, I do think it's ok to get involved with correcting the ignorant actions of parents who are setting their kids up for a lifetime of poor health. I'm still in the minority, unfortunately, for those kids.

the consolation;
won't find 'em up there in the trees

Yup Gotta move

Had weight issues when sitting at a desk
Blossomed to 265 lbs
I could carry it, but felt slower
‘Diet’ is not in my vocabulary


When commencing to build the cabin, and then live out in the sticks, the weight melted off

At the beginning (265)

Some time later (probably 230-240)

Last spring (210)

Now at 205
Plan to be at 180 this summer
Bottom line, if yer gonna eat like a horse, gotta work like a horse

Excellent advice -- I never thought about it quite in those terms, but it is at the bottom of the whole obesity epidemic.
