When I look around in my country I can see many fat, obese people who resigned to healthy lifestyle or have never heard of it and who thanks to no movement and junk food gain day by day. In my opinion obesity started being worldwide problem and it is weird paradox that meanwhile in one part of our planet people are dying of starving, somewhere else they voluntarily decided to shorten their life by being obese.
As far as I am concerned obesity might even kill and it seems to me that many people underestimate this fact and persuade themselves that it can't happen to them. There are so many health problems obese people suffer from starting with high blood pressure and ending with heart dissease and vessel problems, so that's why we should be alert and should be able to recognize when there is high time to start fighting against fat hidden under our skin. Some people opose that obesity is dissease - well, if it is symptom of some illness then of course it is but if it is just a sign of laziness, then I won't ever understand how they can consider it dissease.
Why am I talking about this all? I personally reduced 20 kg (44 lb) one year ago because after second pregnancy I somehow got stuck, enjoyed motherhood and didn't have so much time for myself. I even almost reached the stadium of low obesity and it scared me a lot, so now you can see why I consider this topic close to me. However, I can be thankful to my smart brain, which one day turned on some alerting tone and announced: Enough!!! Unfortunately, not all people are like this because one friend of mine is more than 100 kg (220 lb) and she is satisfied with her body.
Without doubt we live hectic life and modern life style makes everything easier and faster. Instead of walking we use cars and bikes, instead of going upstairs we use lifts and kids instead of going outside and enjoying some games like football or playing hide and seek sit in front of the computer. From above mentioned examples is obvious that we lack of movement and these who aren't able to realize it might end up as obese.
Without hesitation we can say that obesity is also one big business, which is supported by chains like McDonald, KFC or Pizza Hut and we all know they offer junk food and as for quality one doubt it too after latest affairs. If people would think more about what they eat, would try to follow healthy lifestyle, these chains would go bankrupt one day.. however, we prefer supporting them and don't care about the most important thing we have - our health.
In my opinion some people are lazy and they can make hundreds of excuses why they won't reduce their weight, which is so sad. Others are not lazy but not motivated enough, so I wish at least these people would find some energy to start and to change their lives. If we all would think properly about our lifestyle, about choosing some sport activity we would do three times a week, if we were examples for our kids, if we better went for trip instead of roaming around the mall, then obesity would slowly but certainly one day almost disappear but.. this sounds more like a fairy-tale..

Interesting topic for those who want to reduce some kilos, but for me I wish I coud gain some! lol poor me . :)
Nakshatra,
thanx for your comment and m glad you liked it :-) I fully agree with you and on one hand life is easier but on the other hand - we lack movement and that´s something what can become in some years big problem. M happy that I realized this and m doing my best not to be 100Kg :D
Technology is also the cause of obesity. Like People sit on sofa and eat potato chips, always stuck in mobile phone and computer. In the kitchen we use mixer, dishwasher, for washing clothes we use washing machine. In short technology has made our life easy but lazy. Eat whatever you want but exercise is must. If you want to lose weight always sit with begger to eat and give him your half food. Your writing is really good. Keep it up!
Areal, thanx for liking it and btw I plan to write a blog about this topic and maybe you will find there some useful tips how to lose your weight! Just be patient because I feel lately little bit busy here - group, blogs, recordings :-D omggggggggg kill meeeee!!!
Hi Luzzi!
Having a good diet and regular exercise is necessary for a healthy life....but some people deprive of that due to their jobs, for example, people who work desk jobs, they have to sit behind a desk without any physical activity from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.... and after work they are too tired to go to gym and do exercises ...on the other hand, they can't eat good food at work place.
Great, Luzzi! I'd love to read if you reveal it. Probably, I need to lose 4 kgs. :D
Obesity may lead to many health problems, in other words, it may take lots of medical treatment once they are ill. Thank you for the reminder of exercise. I think I should keep practicing aerobics.:)
thanx for your corrections, now I know how to use lack also as a verb because I blindly - don't know why - considered it in this case noun :)
As for resigned to ...the only one expression on my mind is.. gave up on.
I am glad u liked it :)
