Work out plan?
Build a body that women want

NEW YORK (AP) -- Unashamed of their size, fed up with fat jokes, and angry at the national obsession with dieting, overweight activists are mounting a feisty protest movement against what it calls the medical establishment's campaign against obesity.
"We're living in the middle of a witch hunt and fat people are the witches," said Marilyn Wann of San Francisco, a militant member of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. "It's gotten markedly worse in the last few years because of the propaganda that fatness, a natural human characteristic, is somehow a form of disease."
The association, known as NAAFA, holds its annual convention starting Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey, bringing together activists for social events and workshops on self-acceptance, political advocacy and the "fat liberation" movement.
Ok ok, I'll stop laughing now, but NAAFA?? You have to form an organization of fat people? Whats the membership fee, krispy kreme donuts? hehehhehe.
On a serious note, I think people are concerned about obesity because its unhealthy and leads to a shorter life span. God gave us one body, treat it like a temple!
