"It's damn hard to lose weight and just generally get in shape. Americans are getting fatter every year, and 80 percent of people who lose weight gain it all back. Why does it seem so impossible?

Part of the reason is willpower and genetics, blah, blah, blah, but a big part of it is other people. Here are some of those often well-meaning monsters you must overcome in your battle to get healthy."

Ok, this may not be the right place for this article, but I felt it fit better here than in the social category. This was another one that ok, maybe goes a bit more towards the sarcastic side than it may have to, but overall I think there are some underlying good points, and those are what I wanted to share with you. Especially after realizing that I am guilty of being more than one of these people.

I'm most afraid of People Who Make Fun Of Your Stupid Exercise Routine and People Who Never Think It's Good Enough.

Also, cooking for Family Members Who Are Not On A Diet. That always gets me and I end up eating all their leftovers.

Yes, I know Spontaneous People - the ones who can take two bites out of dark chocolate, toss the rest in the fridge, say "Let's go to a club to hear so-and-so's band." Then you end up not eating for eight hours, and you're starved when you get back and order McD's on your way home while she's sound asleep after living on two bites of chocolate for those eight hours ...

And Family Members NOT on a Diet - this ALWAYS fucks me up. Because half of them aren't affected by what they eat and the other half just don't give a shit in how it's affecting them. Oh, and I'm the Cook, so I have to make their food. Oh, and vegetables give half of them gas or other funky digestive problems, so any veggies are what I bring in and and ... I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT to move out!
