An unusual factoid was published last week.
2012 was the year that the number of obese people on earth EXCEEDED the number of malnourished.
This sheds a whole new light on Malthus who in 1790 gave the dire prediction that by 1950 there would be so many people on the planet that mass starvation would ensue.
Miss Piggy, who was famously quoted as saying:
"I never eat more than I can lift,"
would have hated the solution given by Jesus who said:
"If your hand offend thee, cut it off. It is better to enter heaven with one hand than miss Eternal life with two."
Clearly part of the problem of those who are overweight is with the hand that puts the food in the mouth.
Radical steps are necessary. Our local tennis pro some years ago had his wife's jaw wired shut. For three months she had lunch and dinner through a straw and it did the trick.
If you are serious about quitting your food addiction you must do WHATEVER it takes.
A person rarely gets overweight alone, since eating is a SOCIAL experience. Therefore they will rarely lose weight ALONE.
If you have a problem WRITE DOWN your weight loss goal, PRAY and enlist a GOOD FRIEND to walk DAILY with you back to the good old days of size 8.
Jubilate.
