Acceptance or Excuses?

This may very well be the greatest lie a group of people has ever told to themselves or other people, but apparently, there is a movement out there where people who once struggled with their weight loss are now "embracing" their non-weight loss and encouraging behaviors that make them gain weight.

I tweeted this link from the New York Times earlier today: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/16/health/nutrition/16skin.html?_r=1

Basically, after years of following diets and regulating what they ate, these people, as advised by their therapists, gave up trying to lose weight and ate everything and did everything they would not do while trying to lose weight.

While the airy lifestyle of not caring or worrying about losing weight at all times does seem like somewhat of a vacation, I cannot see how it would even be possible to one day wake up and not only not care, but the extreme opposite.

I wonder whether these people will decide, when they are heavier, that this was not the right choice for them? But, at the same time, perhaps it is the right choice because they were able to free their minds of the constant worry about their weight.

What do you think? Is embracing your weight mere acceptance, or just an excuse for those who are tired of trying?

I agree with you. There are so many health issues that correlate with obesity. While I understand it can be a sensitive subject, being healthy and at a healthy weight is the best thing for an individual

Looking to expand the line, Bowerman began nike dunk experimenting with the concept of athletic shoes with rubber spikes. By pouring a liquid rubber compound into his wife's waffle iron, Bowerman created an innovative running-shoe sole. The company unveiled nike air max featuring the Waffle sole for athletes competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., in 1972. A succession of shoes, many based on the waffle outsole, followed. Some of the most famous are the Waffle Racer, Air Force One and official nike shoes. Frustrated with credit limits at local banks and a general lack of faith in his vision, Knight finds a new method of creative financing. Through the Bank of Tokyo, a trading company called Nissho Iwai introduces BRS to import letters of credit and lays a foundation for future rapid growth. With the help of dunk sb manufactures its own shoe line and the Swoosh Design trademark is created. The night before jordan shoes boxes are to be printed, Johnson dreams the company new brand name, NIKE, the Greek Goddess of victory. A soccer/football shoe is the first NIKE model to hit the retail market. A nike shox to promote the shoe becomes the first apparel item.
