The fattest nation

It's now been reported the austrilia has bet America as the fattest Nation

This is so sad, people everywher are getting fatter and fatter,  why????   They have and make stupid choices

I see it right here in my own community

 I just read last week that Mississippi was vote the fattest state for the 2nd year in a row. I could have told them that without the votes or reach. I mean we are a community of people that eat

 un-like New Olreans that has a special flavor and specialtiy of food that they love to eat and enjoy where people come from all over the world to get catfish platter or Red Beans and rice ( lol, what I grw up on)

 Mississippi'ns just seem to eat anything that's around.1st they skip breakfast or have a huge breakfast with way more then 3 people could share at ( my favorite place, lol, Cracker Barrel) Fast food after church. fast food for dinner, fast food at lunch time. candy machines at break time.

Exercise is taking care of kids and ridng on the riding lawn tractor and feeding the animals. They really think because they were busy doing something all day they got a workout in. They honestly think I don't eat abd I only ate an egg mc muffin and a salad and baked potote and large coke for lunch and I didn't even have time for dinner so I just ate 2 pieces of fried chicken we had left over from Sunday.

I live on a farm I had to feed the chickens, horses, pig, goats ducks, fish, dogs and cats but I called it feeding the animals not exercise.

I was a foster parent and had 6 kids, 3 at home and 3 in school plus watched my grandbaby for the 1st 11 months of her life while her mama was in school.  I did alot of running around, it seem that it took an hr just to get everyone in there seat belts and car seats. It was hard work leaning over the back of the back seat to buckle them up and unbuckle each time we had to stop somepace so they could all come in with me.  Not to mention the labor it took to get the double stroller out of the car.But I didn't call it exercise I called it taking care of the kids.

 

Breakfast was a riot, I want pancakes, I want donuts, I want I want I want, guess what, they all got 2 eggs and grits with orange juice while they ate Granny or mommey Miss Linda or whoever I was to each child I got to make and enjoy my protien skae with a banana and strawberrys.

It's the choices we make but it's also the way we think that needs to change, The world has to wake up and realize they are living longer from medicine but just think how much longer they would live without the medicine if they just made better wiser choices about how they ate and how the exercised.

 

I am on my 4th fitness cettification , working with  kids, teens, young adults and senior citezens.  I try to set a good example and educate them on the importance of a balanced meal and healthy intense exercise. that's all I can do is keep on keeping at them.  maybe one day it will soak in.
