Guess What? Weight is a Direct connection to Illness….Heard that on 1010 Wins Health minute! So where’s the Comedy in that?
There are those heavy, full figured comedians which shall remain namelss, (Monique) who state that BIG IS BEAUTIFUL! Well I think that is the problem.
Making one’s soda extra large at the fast food place, or having BIGGIE FRIES or double, double whopper is not HEALTHY!
So why are the comedians who can afford a : weight trainer, lap ban surgery, and live in doctor telling us big gals and big men that it is alright to STAY BIG?
That is not a good road to lead people down. No, no one is leading me into Biggie fries…I chose those on my own…(if and when I make a choice in that direction!)
But still, self-esteem is a big issue in today. I had a friend who is a rather small man in height and weight….OH, there are men who love women your size. Wait, I will get the name of the “CLUB” that you can go to inorder to meet men who LOVE BIG WOMEN!!!! UGHHHHHH!!!
If there was a moment in my life when I knew that I could see the end of a friendship in big clear letters it was then! I was not into any kind of weird fetish club! Some people like to look at women’s hands etc…..I do not want to be put in that category.
Yes I am big….but no I do not want someone who is looking for a WOMAN MY SIZE! How dare you! I am not a car, mini van, coup deville, or corvet that you pick out at the showroom.
Picture this, “Oh, yes we have the model you are looking for, Large Brown Woman, Gap in front of teeth, teeth more yellow than white, This is our used model category of woman though, but very, very, very reliable!
Great mileage….hardly used at all, only bore one child. But alas, this is a late model you know….a baby boomer. But she does put in a hard days work, despite the now recent weigh in of 269.1pounds!
Her legs are strong. She has actual ankles, not cankles, you know the calve, and ankles combo….she has distinct ankles for her age and weight.
She takes her water pills and blood pressure pills quite faithfully. Yes she is our SEDAN VERSION OF A LARGE WOMAN….A LITTLE BIT LUXURY, AND A LITTLE BIT ECONOMY….YOU KNOW–SHE IS THE HARD WORKING TYPE…NOT THE PINK FEATHER TOE, BON BON EATING TYPE….SO HERE SHE IS!”
See how degrading that all seems? It is silly, but that is how annoyed my small framed, low weight male friend felt when he made that comment to me.
And I told him about it….that is right! If I was a beautiful woman with long flowing black curly hair, I would not want anyone to tell me to go to a club where woman that look like me would find a match of a man who likes woman with black curly hair!
Everyone wants to be loved for the unique qualities that are within their spirit and their heart. No one wants to be picked out for their strange shaped forehead or something.
I am not a cow, a cat or a car. Treat me special please! ooooh, I digress! I am sorry, I kind of went off on a tangent didn’t I? Okay, where were we, Oh, yes.
Being overweight might appeal to some, but where are it’s health benefits if any? I heard it today, on 2/15/08….on my favorite radio news station 1010 wins—that there is a direct correlation to health and cancer based on weight according to a study done.
(The WHO that did the study has slipped my mind at this time—but it does not matter, I have heard that statement from my doctor many, many, many times!)
My problem today, to correlate to that “new so-called statistical data finding…my back has been aching for the past month now. It hurts just above the kidney aread…or at it directly.
One morning on a Monday to be exact, I woke up and was too dizzy and weak to make it to work. I called out sick and made my doctor appointment which I had been putting off.
When I told the doctor about this constant pain after I eat meals, drink, or have to move around too much, she took blood. Since I have highblood pressure and my child Daniel has been getting sick lately I chalked it up to stress.
But to be on the safe side…lets not ignore ole’ Betsy the Sedan Large and Lovely Body Beautiful….shall we? So blood tests all done, and now MamoGrahm, and GYN up next too.
We must check out the facts about weight and health correlation! I do not want to be the guinea Hippo here…but this is really for myself, and my family.
I am merely sharing this oh, so very private health condition, and issues with you to help you women who are in my mid-forties, and 269.1 category….not to direct to you a CLUB for large babes….but to direct you to a better state of mind in regards to your daily health!
Remember…..our families need us to live long enough to see them grow, and mature, and be there for babies and all like that.
So, do me and you a favor,….no I do not know where the club for Big Gals and the men who love them are….I would not allow my male friend tell me where to go….because I am mentally a Big Gal with a Medium, healthy weight woman rising!
(could not resist the horoscope correlation…ladies!) So seriously, take the time to check out your aches and pains. I personally believe in natural weight loss. I am afraid of that lap band surgery.
There are two women that are on my job right now that have lost tremendous weight, from the surgery. But see, I cannot be happy not eating! I am a foodie!
No, I do not binge, I just like a good cooked meal. I have bad habits for eating dinner late into the night and then going immediately to bed. I have to get up early, around 5 am. I always feel sick.
Sometimes I will throw up while brushing my teeth, because the food from the late night dinner after I worked overtime at my job, did not digest properly. You know that when you lay down to sleep your digestive track has the nerve to stop working right?
So production stops and all that food becomes are hard nasty lump in the pit of your stomach and when you awake you feel nauseaous! Ugh!
So getting back to our, yours and my health.
Check out those aches and pains and call Jenny Craig, WeightWatchers and First CALL YOUR DOCTOR AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT…..TAKE A FRIEND WITH YOU IF YOU ARE SCARED…..BUT GO, BIG GALS GO! —All joking aside….look in the mirror, you are beautiful, but your heart will love you more if you take good care of it!
And one more thing Ladies….In honor of Women’s heart month…..and Valentines Day—Take care of your heart and it will take care of you! Happy Valentines Day!
Take care, until next weight and health blog—
