Life is good. Life can be good if one is healthy. One might have one's choice of a career, all the wealth in the world, even the life one is living is of one's choice-- but if you have no health, are all these of any use? Kids should be made aware of this the moment they are able to understand and not be allowed to put anything they want into their mouth. Yes, children should be allowed treats because if they are not allowed to enjoy food, who is? But they should learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy food right from the beginning-- children are like a white board-- you can write on it in any color you want. Teach them young- they learn fast.
I was a very chubby child myself- loved sweets, all things fried, cheese- you name it-- hated fruits, vegetables and all things good. If you see me now, you wouldn't think so. But all my life I've been yo-yoing from chubby-fat-ok but never thin. But then, like I told a friend of mine, since I won't be walking the ramp in this life, I'd rather not be a size zero.One doesn't have to starve into invisibility! In fact one doesn't know what thin is until one is in a room full of size zeros. Now in the twilight of my life, I have learned how exactly to eat sensibly, enjoy my treats, not give up any of my favorite foods- because if you do that, you will begin to crave for them and then go on a binge eating unless you become anorexic. And then like I always tell my friends, being inherently thin is not always healthy, and being inherently fat is not always unhealthy- it is your blood tests,blood pressure, lung power etc which determine your health.I wanted a good body less for health benefits and more for looking good.
Watch out for my next blog where I will tell you how NOT to DIET, enjoy all foods, exercise moderately- now this is not for those Mr Americas- and have that great figure which makes you look good in any type of clothes you like-- Females are likely to be more interested in my blog-- sorry guys!!!
