Comments on: The Usefulness of Exercise http://www.thechunkblog.com/?p=68 the lives and times of Kate, Lo, and Gertie Stein Fri, 07 May 2010 02:00:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Adouma http://www.thechunkblog.com/?p=68&cpage=1#comment-22 Adouma Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:35:21 +0000 http://www.thechunkblog.com/?p=68#comment-22 I think a lot has to be said for genetics. Some people pulled a great genetics card and will likely remain slim for a lifetime with minimal effort. I pulled the "stay 'thick' with a tendency for 'chunkiness' if I don't watch it" card. While I don't think people should simply be resigned to being larger based of what their parents and grandparents look like, it will take a bit (or a lot) more effort. Kate, I feel your pain. Don't let a few days throw you off. You're a Phenomenal Woman, Maya Angelou-style. It'll get there. Time does wonders. That being said, I just enjoyed two Dove mini chocolates with messages on the inside of the foil wrapper. The first said, "One's best success comes after one's greatest disappointments." The second said, "Chocolate therapy is, oh, so good." Thought it fit perfectly. Dove philosophy. I think a lot has to be said for genetics.

There's no way I'd have the strength and definition I do today without resistance training. I think too many people focus on weight loss rather than the health (and cosmetic) benefits of exercise. And I totally agree about reading comments on sites such as the New York Times. Ugh. Some people have NO filters! Exercise didn’t help me lose weight, but I really like how it’s shaped my body.
