Fat Get Fatter

Some guy is saying that all Americans aren't getting fatter, but that the fatties out there are getting super fat and basically kicking the bell curve and the scale off the charts. The article is quick to point out that this is a contrarian view, but still, I think the guy is at least part right.

Even if all Americans (in general) are indeed getting bigger, it seems self evident that there are more and more super-obese folks out there. I notice this especially out here in Denver. Quality of life and the weather (see below) bring lots of outdoorsy folks to Colorado. The lifestyle generally promotes fitness and most people seem to be in at least ok shape. But those who are not often seem to be of the 300 pound variety.

I stumbled across an exercise log from two years ago last night. Had you asked me previously, I would have guessed that today I weighed significantly more than I did two years ago. I was surprised to look and see that I am about 13 pounds lighter now. Not that I don't need to lose some weight. I definitely need to trim the gut before the big beach wedding (la boda mas grande en la playa).
