Weighting Moments

The Great Weigh Issue..

With a sneering smile and a charming voice he says

“Are you over weight? I have helped others who are over weight!”
I hear it as “Come to me and make me richer and you will see”

Yes sure the issue of obesity is placing people at risk of early death. Ill health is plaguing those that have sunk into the murky waters of despair regarding their weight. While yet others take great pleasure in pointing them out, as failures, in need of the magic potion that they alone can sell.

We who have bodies and metabolisms inclined to weight gain know all to well the dangers that we encounter each and every day.

Television takes great delight in scrutiny and examination of those that are often trapped in a body of despair. Lets watch them squirm and sweat and cry. Make em work, physical exertion in all sorts of exercise will make them thin.

But what of the person stuck inside, all they seek is to be normal, what ever normal may be to each. All they want is to eat normal, exercise normal rest normal and fit into a society which unless conformed to will exclude.

With the exacerbated problems of ill health brought on by the epidemic of obesity I ask why:

Can’t our governments come up with real support,
· By subsidizing products that will aid people in the quest for weight loss?
· Getting to an exercise program that is affordable to all?
· Giving free access to dietitians?

Do they really care or care less?

From one who has tried most of the so called weight loss programs, gripped in the circle of obesity, high blood pressure, arthritis and diabetes.

Stop pointing the finger and give those that are more prone to weight gain some real help and support..
