BB agenda
I have a similar agenda, the UK is turning into the land of the fat!!!!
Had to do the mandatory core training at hospital I work at, and we were talking about how patients are not lifted anymore, have slings.
I thought I would be all clever about how it was an issue in hospitals if they had a 20 stone (280 lb/127kg) patient, with MRSA, it would be a problem as the sling would have to be sterilised if a second patient came in.
The nurse practioner for the back care, looked at me oddly and said we currently had 5 patients between 36 and 45 stone (490lbs/223kg and 630lbs/286kg) and that was USUAL.
She herself, is what I would consider grossly overweight, and was talking about how someone's back could be damaged just bending over and picking up a pair of slippers, that it wasn't the weight, but the angle of the back......
I didn't tell her I had been doing dead lifts with 75 kg the previous evening!! I think she would have been horrified!! She also admitted to regularly 'skipping' lunch as it made her feel sleepy in the afternoon!!
People seem to have no grasp of reality when it comes to what they are shoving down their throats! It is getting really scary, and what is going to happen when there is this massive divide between 'bariac' (sp?)/morbidly obese and people who actually able to move!!! Bariac is the new pc term for morbidly obese, human rights and dignity!
So I have an agenda. My agenda used to be mainly environmental, however after spending 5 years on the environmental 'front lines', I realised that to 'heal the planet' it was first necessary to 'heal the people'.
I have put my head, heart and body through hell/heaven and back (some of it felt great, sometimes I wanted to crawl in a hole and die) to get some things sorted, all the damage, some from childhood, some just a result of growing up, some I even inflicted on myself. I have been looking at why I hav been 'medicating' myself with food, nicotine, drugs, sex.....I still have a huge thing about shopping, I can't resist a great pair of shoes or a handbag, especially if it is in the sales!!!
I also realised that just sorting out my immediate environment was not going to be enough, so, here I am tarting around on the internet.
And in all honesty, it really didn't occur to me that I might be able to make a difference because my ass looks great in a bikini, didn't even occur to me that my ass lookked all that great......I have had to learn to listen to what people are saying to me, about me, and be responsible for how I look. I am responsible for how I look, and I was responsible for how I looked when I was a chubette, I am responsible for how I look when I step on stage in a bikini.
I always thought that making a difference in the world would be linked to my work in science, or my other vocation, painting.......
I am one of the lucky ones. Really, I should be a big fat bloater by now. I have weight trained, ran and rode my bicycle, on and off, since the age of 16, I have the 'mesomorph' body type that can build muscle and take off fat (and put it on) quite quickly. The gym is like my church, and running and weights are like my meditation, my prayer. I go a bit potty if I don't manage to get my butt in the gym.
I became a vegetarian around the age of 20, and was quite quickly introduced to macrobiotics. That dealt with my 'fat' habits (butter, cheese, cream, crisps/chips...).
I 'fell' into bodybuilding, by accident. The closest gym to my new house in England was a proper bodybuilders gym. Several pro-natural bodybuilders trained there, and being a curious type of person, ended up going to a show.
I ended up spending so much time training I thought I had better do something with it, otherwise it was just self-absorbed navel-gazing. People kept telling me that I had a great physique and that I would do well.
So now, I am planning on using my body to make a difference, and what that will end up looking like.....
