Arlo: You're not fat!
Janis: I just want to lose a few pounds!
Janis: My clothes would fit better! I'd FEEL better!
Janis: "I want to look like myself, again!"
Janis: Is that so unreasonable?
I work out 2-4 hours per day. I rarely have over 2000 calories per day. I practice martial arts, & cannot shed the 30 pounds that I have left to lose. Man is not meant to be childishly thin, Janis. I no longer care what “they” say about diet, exercise, etc.. I am in superb health at 59, no meds, & a realistic view that I will not have the shape of an 18 year old again. Society puts ridiculous & false expectations on people. Look at pictures of medieval peasants. They are heavy, but their entire survival lifestyle revolved around physical, constant heavy labor. According to today’s standards, they are overweight. So, starving peasants who do physical labor are overweight? Girls are thin, most women are not. Only 1 in 10,000 has a “model’s” figure.
