X-Women

Brunette wrote earlier this week that she is getting all hot and bothered in her Christchurch apartment. While Sir Loin is still unclear what norks are, Brunettes commitment is admired.

Society makes strong moral judgement about the overweight: they lack will power and indulge themselves by eating too much and not exercising enough. Thin people are stronger and superior to fat people. While being overweight can be unhealthy , this judgement is also a social construct. A person starving to death in Ethiopia would no doubt love to be overweight.

Recent research shows that being fat may stem less from an individuals love of rich food and more from their mothers love of pies.

"In the current study, the team measured the epigenetic state (the degree of chemical modification) of DNA in umbilical cord tissue from nearly three hundred children and showed that this strongly predicted the degree of obesity at six or nine years of age. What surprised the researchers was the size of the effect - children vary in how fat they are, but measurement of the epigenetic change at birth allowed the researchers to predict 25% of this variation. This association is much stronger than explanations of obesity based on heredity and lifestyle." - NZ Doctor

IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME

Sir Loin thinks that Fat people are easy targets. He is right. No one in their right mind wants to be unhealthy and in the main chubbies are not healthy.

Im chubby. Nuff said.

nThe first few weeks in Christchurch saw long days and quick meal fixes required - the takeaway shop got a fair hammering. It was not helped by the fact that they were the best damned fish and chips we have had in ages. The motel only has a microwave so that limited our options and a girl can only have so many baked beans.

About 6 years ago we went on a health kick - ate good food - backed up by a weekly shame meeting at Weightwatchers and a big Xtrainer. We only ever did about 15 mins of exercise every night but it was at a high resistance so the sweat dripped at pace.

We walked down stairs. We walked everywhere. We drank bugger all.

We lost 2okgs in about 3 months.

Sadly we have put it all back on.

So a stint in Christchurch has given us a great opportunity to shed a bit of lard. So we hired a X Trainer.

We started on Sunday night - its night three. We love it - we can still stay glued to the TV for a bit of mindless stress cleansing and we huff and puff and bounce around. Must say having bog norks necessitates wearing some cast iron corsetry or risk bruised boozies.

For us we view exercise the same way as most people view masturbation.. Something best done in the privacy of your own home.

We have never fiddled with our fiddly bits in public and we wont huff and puff and have our bountiful boozies bounce around in full view either.

Only thing is the X trainer has developed a bit of a squeak so we hope it lasts the distance as its got quite a distance to go.

The last taboo is falling..  Fat sheilas on the cover of the worlds finest fashion magazines.

The issue dedicated to real plus size women  - is called the curvey edition. Makes us feel like getting our kit  off and dancing naked down the aisle on the Wairarapa train.

BACON BUTTY - WONDER FOOD

We knew this...

The telegraph reckons new research shows that bacon helps relieve hangover symptoms.

Bacon and poached eggs, on thick wholemeal toast washed down with a Banana smoothie means that after a couple of vinos too many - we can win the DomPost trivia quizz with ease....

WE ARE EXCELLENT PRODUCERS OF CO2

Apparently the bigger you are the more you do to pollute the planet. According to a Reuters story on Kyiv Post from the Ukraine, Fat people do more harm to the environment.

Overweight people eat more than thin people and are more likely to travel by car, making excess body weight doubly bad for the environment, according to a study from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

"When it comes to food consumption, moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler," and food production is a major source of greenhouse gases, researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in their study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

"We need to be doing a lot more to reverse the global trend towards fatness, and recognise it as a key factor in the battle to reduce (carbon) emissions and slow climate change," the British scientists said.

They estimated that each fat person is responsible for about one tonne of carbon dioxide emissions a year more on average than each thin person, adding up to an extra one billion tonnes of CO2 a year in a population of one billion overweight people.

The European Union estimates each EU citizen accounts for 11 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

What bloody bollocks, its not like we fart like dog or burp like a dairy heifer all day. Thank god we have John Key at the helm - Helen would have instituted a fart tax on fatties on the back of this research. Hell, now she is in the UN , she will be claiming that poor people should stay thin to save the planet from the ravages of global warming!

Where are the economists doing the counter study looking at our high rate of consumerism that helps stoke flagging economies? We should be revered, put on a pedestal ( albeit with a sturdy base) as citizens to emulate. After all we live hard and die quick from the good life. That saves a hell of a lot of hot air.

FINALLY AN INSPIRATIONAL EXERCISE VIDEO

Thanks to Cactus we finally we have the inspiration we need to lose weight.
