This is one of the things I think about and that angers me most, especially when I’m at the grocery store, and I could write forever on it. I think there are two subcategories of people who are in the larger category of Accidentally Fat: those who are ignorant and those who don’t care. The latter is a huge category here in the U.S., but that’s another topic. I think there are many good people out there who just don’t know what it takes to be physically fit. All they need is some guidance and discipline to start their path to fitness. The people who don’t care are the people who grow up in super-sized families and just think that they’re “a larger person”, not too dissimilar from having blue eyes or brown hair. They think that being huge is perfectly normal (again, speaking of the U.S.) and therefore are completely apathetic to their physical situation. I wish both categories of these people would take responsibility for themselves and their fitness.

Very well said. My articulation of this very subject isn’t quite as elegant as yours (I just tend to get angry when people repeatedly act like this.) Its funny how people draw a line in the sand, so-to-speak, over and over again until they feel like they have accomplished a lot, when they really have done next to nothing.

For me, I have to be mindful everyday what I do, how I eat, and how much activity I do. NOT being mindful had me anywhere between 40 and 50 lbs overweight as a young woman. Some people think that I “worry too much”, but not thinking about it and making a consistent effort didn’t work for me. Unfortunately, genetics are not in my favor!
