Some Aussies find it funny that we Americans are so FAT!
While visiting Sydney and surrounding areas, I came to the realization that we are looked upon as the fattest country in the world! Are they correct?
Look around… looks like it!
There is even a beer commercial for a new 2/3 less carb beer where they send the carbs that are no longer into the beer to people who really appreciate carbohydrate: Americans!
Now, don’t get mad about it. They are absolutely right! We are “fatties” and we eat junk and we don’t take care of our health. That’s the truth and that’s what Being Fat Sucks!, my book coming out in less than a month, is all about: Telling the truth. It’s time to start being honest with ourselves and those around us for the good of those involved.

Who's the fattest of them all?
In case you can’t read it… drum roll… it’s the United States in 1st place!
OK, maybe I am a little on edge… it’s because I spent 10 days there, enjoying the scenery, the people, the food and the wine and now I am being honest with myself that I have a couple pounds to take back off. I exercised every day, but it was not enough to offset the calories in that wonderful Australian Shiraz or that Kangaroo filet.
Here’s the best part: In the past, I would have rationalized those extra pounds and they would have gnawed away at my self confidence which could have sent me into a downward spiral of complacency and lying to myself about how I really felt till I was back up to 200 lbs and everything sucked again!
Not going to happen. Being Fat Sucks! and I refuse to go there again!
I welcome your thoughts.
Bye for now!
