Point taken.
As I earlier posted I hope she was trying to be funny. If she comes rattling my letter box tonight to have a cigarette I'll demand an explanation.:) |

I really do think that a lot of fat people would dearly love to be thin but a history of failed diets has lead us to gain more weight. Have you noticed that many "slimmer of the year" winners later bemoan how they have gained even more than they lost and subsequently find it even harder to lose? Please, please do not do this to children. Introducing them to healthy food and a balanced diet is far far better than insulting them and thinking that will lead to them losing weight. It could lead to more problems if focussed on in that way. Just let them be children, encourage them to eat better food and provide better food in schools - which is what the thread was meant to be about. Yes there will still be McDonalds, but a McDonalds once a week with a healthy diet at school isn't going to be as bad as McDonalds style food being provided by the school with no healthy alternatives. (btw I think McD's have introduced some healthier alternatives too now.) |

I think we need chill pills all round. Beer sounds like a better idea.

Re: More Government Meddling.
Like Willow, I rarely go out for meals because I am very conscious of the temptation of the calorie laden stuff that is served. I drink very little alcohol...maybe a glass of wine with Sunday tea......my meals are served on a 7" plate.....so that I don't overdo the portion size. I haven't taken sugar in my drinks for more than 30 years.....yet as I have got older my size has gone up from a petite size 12 to a matronly size 16......I haven't really dieted, but have always kept an eye on what I eat. As we get older our metabolic rate.....the rate at which our body burns calories effectively, slows down.....as we get older it becomes more difficult to exercise.....arthritis in the knees makes even walking a bit of a pain sometimes. So when you look at us lumpy jumpers......don't think we sit there every evening guzzling biscuits and choccies.....it is just the way we are.

Re: More Government Meddling.
Well thats me really ugly cos I smoke and am well overweight!!! :eek: but then I'm not too bothered what others think apart from those close to home and myself of course and those who know me off here will know the battle I have with myself on that score!!!
Willow judging by what you listed you had eaten I actually do think you maybe don't eat enough to boost your metabolism. I am also a light eater but a lot of the wrong things sometimes. But when I stuff my face with the right things I lose weight!!! Go figure eh... I would take being overweight every day of the week than live like a friend of mine does with a constant battle of keeping weight on... she eats some serious food but remains really thin. She has recently had a stomach bug and lost half a stone in 4 days, now this is weight she really could not afford to lose. she has to eat so much junk to increase her calorie intake and hi energy drinks which are doing her health no good at all. She's aware of any exercise she takes as she's afraid she may drop even more weight.... imagine living like that every day???? Not me... She's a higher risk of heart disease than I probably ever will be!!!! |

Now it's funny that you reckon I should eat more - you aren't the only one to have said that but that is in stark contrast to the opinion expressed that fat = lack of willpower. I know I should eat more fruit and should have bought some today but it's been a funny day. |
Re: More Government Meddling.
yeah well a big prob mine does happen to be lack of willpower especially when you get trouble makers like gayle starting threads about fave chocolate... how dare she... :rolleyes:
It is definately true that by eating more of the right things does boost your metabolism. But we are very good at doing the "feast and famine" bit... Eat loads, feel guilty and cut back big time and then back to eating loads again... Prob with that is your body doesn't know what the hell is going on so when you eat loads it stores the fat and when you eat next to nothing it is more likely to attack your muscle rather than the extra fat.... with all this knowledge I should be thin...alas not :rolleyes: |
