Weight Loss Blog!

Okay, so I'm starting a weight loss/weight management blog.  Mainly because people have this idea that thin is happy and if you took a look around, that clearly is not the case.  Now I've usually been the kid in my family to go up to the buffet table 5-6 times and come back with a plate full of meat.  I did this feat at the ripe age or 11 by the way (ask my family).

But being fat and having this fat guy persona isn't so much of a bad thing.  What brings people down isn't their fat, it's the response from people looking at their fat and thinking they are disgusting or some other negative response.  If you take a look at some of the historically funnier and brighter people in history - most of them are fat.  They didn't care about their fat per se, but they cared about the idea of how they were perceived.  If they wanted to be perceived as powerful, they would see their fat as a strength against their puny little opponents.  I'd rather be well-fed than malnourished any day of the week.  There is such a thing as a starving artist and a fed artist.

Being fat, or obese, as many health insurance companies will put it now, isn't a bad thing.  In fact, I believe that there is this triangular based theory related to one's weight that will dictate one's sense of humor, one's sense of narcissism, and one's sense of happiness.  In fact, the same theory goes for with people who believe themselves to be ugly.  Let's not forget that the "prettier" people in society do not have to have the same set of skills that another person must attain to be a viable member of the workforce.  Much like how height affects one's earning power, I believe that the same could go for people who are overweight and/ugly, but in a negative fashion.  I don't know of any study out there for this, but it would seem interesting to look at.

In the up coming posts, I will take a look at people who are fat, happy, and in very powerful positions in life.
