Obese vs Health

This morning woke up with a rather strange dream. Don't feel like recalling it but the dream was so clear. It has something to do with teenage suicidal attempts. And I know the persons that I saw would never end up doing silly things like that. They are bright people whom I taught them their school work since small. And I am sure they are doing very fine at this moment. So, let's ignore that detail.

I have commenced the gym today. Finally, after days of contemplation, I made the choice and it's somewhere near the house. Very cool place. The workers/attendees are very polite and friendly. They even shielded me from the carpark when the rain hit so hard. Thus, basically customer service is a very big A plus.

I am not trying to be insensitive. But everytime is an opportunity for me to highlight this issue. Obesity vs health. Sometimes people just lament that they are born to be obese. There is nothing to be done for being obese. I am not quite sure if that statement is true. Though I have not reached that stage before or overweight, I would never imagine to be anywhere near there. I have seen people morbidly obese, meaning they are not healthy due to their weight. It comes with diabetes, hypertension, joints problems, bone problems, etc, etc.

Knowing that there are so many complications coming with that, some people just choose to ignore and accept the faith that they are born like that. It's a vicious cycle though as one would continue gaining weight and more complications may arise. An example clearly shown in the latest news. I don't know if I should blame the parents. But if parents are ignoring this fact and let their children to go on being obese, they are actually destroying the kids' future as well as contribute to their children's suffering.



I came across a youtube today and find it quite creative. Perhaps some negative reinforcement might help to alleviate the problem. But this shows how the japs gov is concern about their people's health. Imagine when we have a healthy nation, we will have a more productive country. Besides, the politicians should play a role because they are the role models and the law-maker, that at least in our country. We don't want to see a minister who has a huge belly advising us not to be obese. That's really contradicting.

Anyhow, the gym today is a little exhausting. I shall begin step by step.

Until then, gd nite.
