OBESITY NIGHTMARE….
No comments on OBESITY NIGHTMARE….…or rather, a site is starting to show fat people’s reaction to America’s (drumroll…fanfare…lights…) Obesity Nightmare It started with a Tumblr post, and has continued with photos from Brian (at Red No 3) and Turn It Over. Why? Because we do not exist to be the government’s or the healthcare industry’s nightmare. We are people. We are living our lives. You want to know what we think of…

Things to read
I think a lot of people look to exercise to help them lose weight, and when they don’t lose weight immediately with exercise, they quit. They return to the couch, and they basically never move again. What is lost in that is that fitness is almost certainly more important than fatness. — Gretchen Reynolds, promoting her new bookThe First 20 Minutes. On the one hand, this is…

Surprise
As I got out of the shower this morning I was greeted by the man of the house singing “Happy Birthday” and holding out a plate with Top Pot maple bar (with birthday candle). I was delighted and happy. Sometimes it’s nice to realize that surprises can be good as well as bad.

Monday…yeah, I guess it is…
Nothing like meeting and interviewing 6 5 4 3 job candidates in different buildings after a 1-hour whirlwind meeting to make me feel scattered. I did pull it together, though, and I think I did a good job of interviewing. I tend to dress a little more on the “business” side of business casual when I have interviews. Partly that it’s easier for me to stay on time…

Food Wants and Aversions
I grew up either on a diet (and craving what was denied by the diet) or off a diet (and eating everything the diet denied). No in between. Now I can and do eat what I want. And I find my wants vary. Some days I really, really want, really crave … a banana. Or something meaty. Or something fresh and crunchy, like a crunchy salad…

Music Monday: Good Morning Moon (with finger puppets)
From Marian Call comes this perky and upbeat video. She’s introduced it in concert as the song she wrote for a NASA “write a song to use to wake up the shuttle astronauts” contest. It didn’t win, but it’s a perky wakeup song. It’s Monday. Have some perky. (Update: embed isn’t always working but you can go to http://youtu.be/o-tiQxSg-4s for finger puppets!)

Music: Alright, okay, I give in
I haven’t done a music post in while, so here’s one. As mentioned on twitter I went to Norwescon this year. I liked much of the music in the concerts, but this one by Vixy & Tony touched in me in particular. It’s not recorded yet. All I have is a cellphone video someone uploaded to YouTube from the con. Alright, okay, I give in I can’t…

Blog commenting
Is it just me or is the combo of “prove you’re not a robot” and OpenID on blogspot.com sites difficult? I tried to leave comments on a couple blogspot sites today and it kept insisting that I didn’t read the image correctly or that OpenID had erred. Gave up on OpenID and tried to just enter my name and it again didn’t post — and didn’t even…

Big Fat Sleep
No, it’s not news that lack of sleep is tied to fat. What sleep researcher Dr. Orfeu Buxton found is more information on how this occurs. The resting metabolic rate of the volunteers by the end of the five weeks was 8% lower than where they had started. […] That could explain why night shift workers tend to gain more weight and have a higher likelihood of obesity than day workers;…

Americans Are Fatter Than They Think!
I tweeted this, but I’m just not sure how to fully express the snark this deserves, so I thought y’all might want to give it a try. See, a study has discovered that…drumroll…BMI can be inaccurate!!!! Really!!! You might be fat and not know it!!! (eeek!) And since most people who are “overweight or obese” aren’t actually very fat, increasing the number of people who think they need…
