Weightless

If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women talk of loss, and I do not know which talk is the more boring. ~ Marya Mannes

Wasn't it great time when people didn't really care about weight. A little fat was called curves, and photo-shopping didn't exist. However, that was a hundred years or more ago, things have changed.

Is there something wrong being fat? Obesity is wrong, but being fat, not so much. Obesity is not being fat, and vice versa. The thing is that obesity is an extreme, which is usually bad. Obesity affects a person, not on just a personal level, but on a more serious level; a health level.

Although, you may be fat, or look like it, most of the time, people are healthy. Looking like Barbie, is actually not good. The reason people look fat is because someone is skinnier, and then things get bad when someone is skinnier then skinny.

Honestly, though, people should be worrying less about fat, and rather what do they want to do with their body. Why do you want to be skinny? Is it because what people or the voices in your head say? Because, they will never shut up. That's something that is not fat related. If it's a matter because you want to run faster, being skinny won't help you. If it's a matter of wanting to be ballerina and you want to be skinny so you can hold an arabesque position, fair enough, but being skinny won't help you with that. If it's because you want to take your shirt off in public without fear, please keep it on.

Nevertheless, there must be a purpose for losing weight, otherwise it can be hard to remain so. There must be a reason other than just losing weight. If you have a reason for losing weight and using certain muscles than staying fit is much easier.

Another thing, is that fat is lighter than muscle. So even if you put on weight and look more athletic, the scale will say,”Your heavier, son/daughter, I think you put on some weight.”And the thing is that the scale wouldn't be lying.

Some simple facts to remember would be: Muscle is heavier than fat, dieting will not always help. Dieting is a bit like holding your breathe: After you run out of oxygen, your going to open your mouth and start eating lots of oxygen. In addition, make your sure that your not actually skin and bones in reality but fat in your mind. Lastly, everyone has a different body. People have different metabolism rates and other things. What might work for John Deer might not work for you.

At the end of the day, being skinny, personally is rather silly, you'll still look fat. For the simple matter is that what we see is not actually real. People when their skinny, just means that they don't have extra or unnecessary fat. It does not mean that they will be rippling with muscles. The only problem with being fat is when it stops you from being healthy or what you want to do. Other than that, it's fine. Also, even if you got rid of all the fat in your body it wouldn't be that great. Firstly, having fat actually looks quite nice, you would actually look ugly without it. Secondly, you would be brain dead, because the brain is made up of more than fifty percent of fat.

Although, this is quite an old topic or to be precise, a flogged horse that is dead and then resurrected back to life to be flogged some more;It seemed that, a different perspective was needed. Hopefully, with a different perspective it might help you, if not help stave away boredom.
