"People who are obese are the ones who have no money, no education, eat cheap sugar and fat, and live in neighborhoods where cheap sugar and fat are the only things available," Drewnowski says. "We say they should choose better. But in our society, they have no choice."

News to me.. I read it twice before I was sure I got it right. I make bad choices cause I like the way it tastes not because I am uneducated and poor. I just can't believe it. My aunt who is a lawyer, definitely not uneducated or poor, is obese. My other aunt is a stay at home, but has a degree and lives in a million dollar home, is obese. I am in my 3rd year of college on my way to a masters and possibly a Doctorate... I am fat...

Anyway, the rest of the article has some good information so it may be worth the read.

I started back tracking my calories on Sparkpeople and eating right. This morning I had an egg and bacon sandwich and for a snack I had some strawberries with Fat Free whip cream. yumm yumm. I may walk on the treadmill later but I am not sure. I want to go swimming but they don't have the pools up out here. At least not at my apartment. I am so sad. All the pools are up all over town, but they are slacking here. A couple of years ago I lost 80 pounds in 6 months by swimming everyday. I am planning to ask my fiancée for a puppy when I make it half way to my goal weight.

Trey and I are getting ready to buy a house soon after the wedding. I am so excited, stressed but excited. School begins again, June 1st I am really excited to get back to work. I am also taking a fitness class so that will help me with my weight loss. I am very excited!

We are also trying to get in shape so that we can start TTC! I am worried what the doctor might say about me getting and being pregnant. I have a heart condition called Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. I did meet another girl that has the exact same condition and she is Pregnant and has said it is going well. I need to get my blood pressure under control. I know right now its a little high, pre hypertension. So here is hoping that I can make some significant changes in my diet and health in the next 6 months.
