Some people are naturally small, and some naturally big, and as long as you work out and eat right, your heart will love you back. Simple as that.<BR/><BR/>Diets are for the stupid. Depriving your body of any necessary food group is the most convoluted anti-logic there is. We don't need to change people's bodies, we need to change their minds, which is much much harder.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757023.post-1118603025647041462005-06-12T12:03:00.000-07:002005-06-12T12:03:00.000-07:00Hey Kreedle! I had to leave a message becasue you...Hey Kreedle! I had to leave a message becasue you're describing me when you talk about "smaller women" (I'm petite--5'1" and 111 pounds for anyone reading this who may not know me) although I also want to make sure you know that's NOT the lifestyle that I lead. <BR/><BR/>If I want a burger, I eat it; if I want a cookie, I eat it; if I want BBQ, I eat it; if I want ice cream I eat it...I think you know where I'm going with this. I don't deprive myself of any food--I just eat it in moderation.<BR/><BR/>Unfortuantely, in today's society, so much emphasis is put on dieting (not to mention that many who diet wind up gaining back the weight they "lost" and some more on top of it) and depriving rather than adopting a healthy lifestyle.<BR/><BR/>Here's the difference: what you describe--eating in moderation with a balanced diet and excercising--is a healthy lifestyle. Depriving yourself of carbs for three months or going on Atkins for two months is highly unhealthy--and it can be deadly.<BR/><BR/>I think the point that the quote may be trying to make is that being bigger puts a person at higher risk for developing high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and for having heart attacks due to those and some other factors. Additionally, being a larger preson can further agitate some of those conditions and lead to a heart attack and/or other more serious problems. <BR/><BR/>Now, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen to skinny people--Bill Clinton just had a quadruple bypass, although he looked to be in pretty good condition. High cholesterol (and all of those other conditions) can occur in anyone--regardless of size.<BR/><BR/>So in a nutshell, the quote makes a blanket statement, but so did you! <BR/><BR/>Just becasue someone's small doesn't mean they're not enjoying life...but just because someone's big does not automatically make them unhealthy. <BR/><BR/>Alright, I'm done! Love ya lots Miss Krys! Take care!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
