Obesity: 'Like the new smoking'

http://www.latimes.com/health/la-he-cancer-obesity-20110307,0,2785774.story

Mormons should know that simply not smoking and not drinking is not a guarantee of good health.

Anybody want to go on a serious diet?

Alcohol, nicotene, eating, shopping and gambling all qualify as sef-medications for clinical depression.

"Studies show that Mormons in the state of Utah are, on average, less physically active and 10.5 pounds heavier than their non-Mormon neighbors."

For what it's worth:

I live in Utah, and I'm fat, I admit it.

> Anybody want to go on a serious diet?

Yes. I'm on one.

edited to add that there is 20 lbs less of me than at this time last year.

You can live without alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc., but you can't live without food (for very long). I believe that losing weight and then maintaining that loss are THE hardest things to do.

could you move over a little bit?

I know I'm fat, but it's part of my plan to take over the universe by means of physically occupying it.
