Quotes by Shawn Weeks

Cookies dont make us fat. Theyre not to blame for our obesity epidemic. You know what else isnt to blame? Fast food, chips, candy, technology, soda, or anything else. The choices we make over a prolonged period time determine the width of our backsides and size of our pants. No one food, company, or activity is responsible for our obesity epidemic.

You know what feels good to most of us when these obstacles, stresses and concerns consume us? Eating a dozen, warm chocolate chip cookies.Sure, theres always a time for chocolate chip cookies, but they arent a solution to our problems. Neither is skipping the gym. Abandoning yet another weight loss attempt because life got too hard shouldnt be an option. Its no doubt annoying to have to count calories and keep burning calories when the world is going to hell around us, but its important to keep perspective if youre actually going to be successful in losing weight. The perspective is that even through the pain and discomfort from a death, move, job loss, or general stress might last weeks, months, or even years, it is all temporary. Good health is, too.
