Thoughts of Resentment

"

The doctor said my skeletal system is being strained form the excess weight, as well as my diabetes becoming uncontollable.

When I get on my knees to work, I can hardly get back up anymore,,,can I help it that im overweight?

Im so tired of my wife telling me I need to cut down on the amount of food I eat. I wish she would just shut up about it .

I like food , its provides me with a certain "comfort". I like beer too , drink a six pack a day , hasnt killed me yet.

My father died shortly after his quadruple bypass,didnt help him any,,, guess we all got to go of something.

As long as I keep taking my medication , I'll be ok, guess I could cut back on my smoking , and drink light beer.

But I'll be damned if i'm going to let others tell me how to live. Its my life.Where do they get off ? Telling me I need to exercies and diet, what business is it of theirs? They all act like im going to die soon or something . I'm only 54,,,I dont plan on checking out anytime soon.

 

Medieval theologian

Thomas Aquinas said of Gluttony: "Gluttony denotes, not any desire of eating and drinking, but an inordinate desire... leaving the order of reason, wherein the good of moral virtue consists."

This was sad and it reminded me of those Discovery Health shows with the 700 lb people, excellent job on the portrayal of Gluttony
