Learn: I, Monkey Woman, used to be very unhealthy during my teen years. I was about 60-75 lbs. overweight. When I was 19 I decided to lose weight. I educated myself on how to eat better and exercise. I am now around 140 lbs. I am currently in the process of trying to lose 10-20lbs; so it is the perfect time to learn more about how to eat healthy when I’m not home and how to incorporate my daughter into my workouts (as a weight! :D) Two of my siblings are also currently slightly overweight as well. My father is also overweight but he has other medical conditions. He has insurance and I find it frustrating that he doesn’t go to a specialist for each of his health problems since he already went to a physician and he told my dad that there was nothing wrong when he has and umbilical hernia and his right knee is swollen. (AGH!) We all (except my dad) try to exercise a few times a week and eat fruits and vegetables. I think all of us need to improve how we treat our bodies. I will also try to learn ways to convince my dad to help himself.
I learned that I shouldn’t pressure my dad. I remember my mom used to pressure me to lose weight. I never listened to her. I was not ready to lose weight. I don’t know how to convince my dad that he should lose weight without pressuring him or making him feel bad.
I found this article: http://www.livestrong.com/article/34430-mentally-prepare-lose-weight-diet/
I will tell my dad about the tips I found here…but I’ll do this when he’s in a good mood.
As for the rest of Modesto, I think we should educate the person that cooks and buys the food in the home about leading their family to a healthier lifestyle.
Act: I am going to create programs that educate parents about how to cook healthier meals, buy healthier foods, and help incorporate physical activity in the daily lives of their kids and themselves. If only there was a way to make unhealthy fast food repulsive…hmm. THAT’S IT! I will join forces with Sad Sack and we will put StinkyButt powder over all unhealthy stuffs. ( I don’t know if it comes in a powder). And I will use my powers of making crops grow super fast to grow produce and give it to poor people for free! YAY!
Imagine: Now that my super awesome healthy alliance has over 500 members we will spread the knowledge to all! I will give free fruits and veggies to whoever needs them in Modesto! We will educate people about healthy recipes and exercise activities, etc. We will spread general awesomeness as well.
nice cooperation with Sad Sack and the use of stinky butt. very creative
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Make junk food just unappealing to eat. I read somewhere that adding blue food coloring to food that otherwise tastes the same will make people not want to eat it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it should be illegal for such a hilarious picture to exist.
Amazing great idea free veggies and fruit yay!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to teach the parents on how to make healthy meals, because they are in control of what the children eat.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for the veggies and fruits!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. People have to be ready to lose weight on their own. It's a lifestyle change - not a quick fix.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so on! Fair warning, though, powdered StinkyButt smells remarkably similar to Onion Powder, so the taste difference may not be all that noticeable.
ReplyDeleteI come from large people, and whenever someone gives "helpful" advice or recommendations about losing weight, it just pisses us off!
lol i think that stinky butt powder should be sold in the store. i agree with your not pressuring your dad. that causes stress or anxiety, and thats bad for the heart.
