Our surgeon general is overweight...

What do you all think of this?  I know I need to catch up with the goods on Mexico, SCUBA, para-sailing, horseback riding, swimming, etc but wow she is in the latest Essence magazine and she is working closely with Michelle Obama and her campaign for the problem of childhood obesity for me it came too late.  But Zumba could be a way, or hip hop dance...no idea.  I just know the Surgeon General has been criticized for her weight yet maintains that you can be healthy at any age and size.  I agree. What say you all?

  1. I have to agree as well. There is over weight and then there is obese. Being overweight has been proven to be good for you (to an extent) as long as you do get out and move! But if you are going to sit on the couch all day and eat cookies and hamburgers and not move, that is something else all together. Not everyone is a size 10 (or smaller) so saying that someone is overweight is relative I believe.

  2. Never thought about this point. I tend to always look at things from a weight perspective as one way or another not the in between space you have identified. Maybe there is something wrong about eating food all day and not being active. Unless of course it is because of depression right? Yes. Obese. That is a frightening word. Let me look it up. Your comment really makes me think.
