If I have been “brave” enough, I would have posted a photo of jiggly behind that needs some quick trim burn & cleanse treatment

Nah, I wouldn’t, I mean, couldn’t do that since I find that mean, even if it was ME in the photo (or better be another person in this matter)

Food photos are partly to blame here. Yea right.

So who do we turn an accusing finger at?

The fast food for offering hard-to-resist deep-fried and high in calorie food offerings?

The candy and chocolate manufacturers for making their sweet offerings very much appreciated by those with sweet tooth?

The bakeshops, donuts stores, dessert and pastry chefs who continually experiment with so many yummy concoctions that are hard to resist?

No not them really, they are not entirely to blame for this obesity problem.

Have we looked at how we live our lives?

Starting at childhood, children are now more prone to sit in front of the television, watching shows or playing with their electronic games to fill up their time. Or they just sat in front of the computer for hours doing whatever fancies their attention.

Not only children do these, adults as well enjoy doing these things. Who doesn’t like to watch his favorite sports on TV while munching on crunchy, salty chips, and drinking sweet soda? Napping after lunch?

Sedentary lifestyle, this is what we have to blame why obesity s on the rise. We have stopped moving about.

When there is a significant weight gain, do we just look for the most effective fat burner that we can get our hands on? Or do we look at ourselves and how we live our lives? Lifestyle check is one of the foremost things to do.

It takes more than the things mentioned above to curb this trend. The concern should not focus solely on the increase in bodily weight but the onset of different kinds of diseases that go along with being obese.

One of the keys is to move more and eat less.

And make good on this promise. After all, we have to learn to eat to live, not live to eat.

After she has been fetched, I go online. During that time I prepare breakfast.

After breakfast and the younger children had eaten and bathed, I go back to my online world while lunch is starting to be cooked. The kids play or watch DVD or read storybooks or play with their Play-Doh.

After lunch, I nap. Sometimes for an hour. Sometimes more than that.

This routine had gotten me in trouble.

I gained weight.

I had it coming though, so there is no one to blame but me. I could not point at Food Friday which inspires me to prepare (and buy) and take photos of yummy food.

Before the almost two-week vacation stint, I was beaming with pride when a mother of a student told me: “Uy, pumapayat ka!” (hey, you have slimmed down).

This is a wake-up call.

Should I consider diet supplements then?

Maybe I should start to really get into some sort of a routine of NOT sitting in front of the computer to go online early in the morning and instead, go outside, savor the fresh morning air and check the plants if these have been trampled by big paws the night before.

Whatever I have to do, I really think I should start now. So there, kthxbai!
