FAT TALK.
It has been calculated by someone who does such things that there will be twenty million purple shopping at Wal-Mart today. That would be pretty close to the number of people who will be , at some time during this day , also be talking about being:”fat”..
.
Not that there is any real connection between the the two facts unless you are one of the millions among that group who cannot stay away from the confectioner's counter in the food departments.. If the store in your community is anything like those in our area, there is plenty of walking to be done and that should help in weight gain problems.
That seems to be the number one subject for talk these days. It is heard throughout the firmament in various languages an d lingoes, too. The prattle of the bulge is a cacophony of complaints, cautions and contrasting claims which reverberates throughout the firmament as a continuous subject of conversations. I'd even go so far as to claim it it is more prevalent than Andy Griffith re-runs.
The usual tactic is for the fat focused individual to assume a posture which lets him or her appear to be a eviction of the conscious acts of others, or the opposing extreme , in which he or she accepts full, personal blame for caloric excess and stand forth as being a martyr to the cause.
I sometime have thought there is a danger that fat talk is becoming a language unto it's own, spoken by people who are fat, people who think they are fat compared to some idiotic standard, people who are going to be fat if they continue their present rate of gastronomic input. Left uncurbed, it could become a dominant language of world cultures.
There is certainly enough free or compensated advice floating around in print, on the radio, the TV channels, on Internet pages and in every other branch or facet of the media serving us so well with information to show quite plainly that excessive in take results in ponderous outgrowth. It's the old “in-out” idea as applied to computers years ago. How the physical extension of our body structures comes about depends solely on the quality and quantity of the supplies we provide
While we are on the subject with so many people, how's your weight coming along? I lost five whole,pounds last month.
