Tuesday I was talking to my mother about weight. I go to the YMCA here in town 3-4 times a week, sometimes more and have never lost weight. I told her it seemed pointless. But, I am also on some pretty intense prescription drugs that have been known to ‘help’ you keep the weight on. Mother just shrugged.
I look around this ‘City of Restaurants’ and you know it is no damn wonder that so many of us are fat. Yes, fat! Not, overweight or heavy, or ‘rubenesque’. Fat will do. On every corner lies a Mickey Dees or Burger King, tantalizing us Fort Wayne Fatties to have a burger and fries.
All of these ‘heavy’ thoughts were drifting through my mind on the way home from Pleasant Lake. That’s where mom lives and where we had this frustrating discussion. And, then, it came to me.
I needed to find a way to escape from Fat City. Oh, not really leave, you know- but escape from the environment that has helped me on the road to fat dom.
I want to find out why Hoosiers rank so high in obesity.
And, why it might not always be so bad to be FAT!
So, come on now -help me along as I start a new journey and Escape from FAT City!
