This doesn't cover what one should eat. If you eat shit, that's what your body is going to turn into. You might die young, but at least you will die thin. > My mother was a yo-yo dieter and crash programs > certainly didn't work for her, and she did religiously swim three or four > times a week for years.

Most overweight people just can't/won't commit to that kind of change, for whatever reason. > People gain weight for different reasons.

At least, that's what I got from it. Kind of a "I don't feel sorry for those who don't try to help themselves." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:345991 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
