There was discouraging news today about the obesity rate in the us. 22 more states are added and they say that the recession is not helping any. It really is the modern lifestyle that is at fault. No one moves any more and the food industry is fulfilling our bodies dream of unlimited sugar and fat.
Someone here posted an entry about declaring her independence from food demands. I am too. I am also declaring my independence from food advertising and my body's natural tendency to want to relax and chow down like the rest of the country. I declaring my independence from large portions at restaurants where there is not a vegetable in sight. I'm in control of what goes into my body and the activity it does. I've been doing it and I am going to continue to do it.

Good for you and the rest of us. May we all take control of our bodies and what we feed it. The more we stay away from the fast food and over loaded plates of fat and carbs in restaurants the better!!!!
