Weight Loss/Maintenance

2017-07-07T7:31:17+00:00

Is it fair to ask "others" to pay for treating obese food addicts who don't care about their diet? Shoving grease and sugar into our faces is an addiction, and I have it. I try to lose weight, and keep my blood sugar down, but it is hard. I just wonder why I work so hard to stay healthy, but I am supposed to happily pay for treatment of others that don't know what a salad or a walk is. Others that do/don't even pretend to care about their obesity, and their health problems. Just saying.

That's how universal health care works. You pay for everyone or you should also take away health care from thin people who eat nothing but junk food, people who do drugs, drink, don't wear seatbelts, don't use sunblock, have super risky hobbies, sit at desks all day...the list goes on.

Pizza, fast food and sugar. Us the money to help pay for health care.

Watch TV for an hour or two. Adds for pizza, all you can eat restaurants, soda and beer.
