Fat "acceptance" - from the PoV of a fat person

104. While This is True

Rock climbing is bad for your health, as you might fall and die, as are many extreme sports, or even less extreme sports like Football. People exhibit all sorts of bad behavior, that don't get called out nearly as much as fat people do.

Part of the book they talked about above likely points out, you can be obese, and still stay in shape, walk, run, or play tennis, racquetball, and do other sports. In fact it's probably more important, as to your health that you do stay in shape. My dad was thin as a rail, and died of a heart-attack at 39. I'm 60, and morbidly obese, or as I like to call it, really fat. But I walk a mile and a half each day, and I garden during the Summer. I could do more, but I don't.

Plenty of things can kill you. I've found I've been smart enough to avoid a lot of pitfalls that have befallen many other much thinner people. If someone figures out a way to give folks a pill, they'll make a mint. I know self-help authors have made a fortune on fat-solutions, and it's the biggest section of the self-help area, which sells more books than the rest, and is about 40% of the market (self help).
