um.......somehow I don't think that represents the world. I see you are from Puerto Rico. Is that where the figures are from?
And we are growing.
You are? You really must stop the fast foods!
@FrayedBear Itβs the emotional eating that is the problem
@Jolanta tut tut. Try eating for nutrition, health and pleasure. Get rid of your emotional needs with visiting the sick or elderly in the neighbourhood and look forward to sun surf and solace. Here is something that I posted the other day that may assist:
@FrayedBear Thank you for that advice. But when I have those needs, the sick and elderly are usually fast asleep and I do eat for nutrition, health but the pleasure bit gets a bit out of hand. How does one stop that or rectify. I am trying, I am honestly.
@Jolanta Whatever your favourite pleasure is do that instead, but first do so after drinking half a litre of pure water. Repeat as often as required.
@Jolanta PS find a country on the time zone where they are still awake and phone them to converse.
@FrayedBear What you want me to spend a huge part of my life on the toilet?
@Jolanta better than fat in a coffin or one of those four-wheeled electric fat-mobiles they use when they can no longer walk and the ambos need special lifting equipment to get them from their bed to the gurney!
@FrayedBear You know I think the people in those mobiles are not fat because they eat too much but often it is because they have some medical problems and the medication is making them that way, but yes you are right some people are just obese too due to a sedentary lifestyle and bad diet.
@Jolanta Ain't the medical profession wonderful at burying people and their lazy inability to diagnose & cure people. I have recently had one who seems to add ten kilos to his prodigious belly every month have me banned from the medical practice for questioning why a needed referral to a specialist has not been supplied despite 4 months of asking and two visits to see him.
@FrayedBear You know there is a medical board that you can complain to.
@Jolanta Having been there with a far more serious complaint I have no belief in their efficacy.
@Jolanta All wind, smoke and mirrors and no teeth or brains to comprehend reality. I must make a post about it one day.
Is that the Icelandic statistics?
nah...no mention of the norse gods there
@MsDemeanour I thought that they were all happy slappies now?
