One of my friends posted this on FB and I felt I needed to share. It is a body scan of a 250 lb woman compared to a 120 lb woman.

Look past the obvious size difference.

More importantly look at the enlarged heart, swollen intestines, pressure on the knee and ankle joints and fatty deposits on the brain.

carrying a few extra pounds may not be that big of a deal but obesity is killing you slowly!

Thanks, 96. I saw a smaller version of this, on Conditioning Research, awhile back. It's ghastly. And it's also a reminder that whereas many trainees will be concerned about unsightly, subcutaneous fat, it's the visceral fat that's slowly killing them. And the brain fat ... yeesh!

Was this done by the TSA?

I don't know, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to touch her junk.

If I was that 120 lb woman, I wouldn't be standing so close to the 250 lb woman, especially around the dinner hour.

That is very telling and if that doesn't get somebodies arse moving they may have no hope unless they survive a health scare.

You'd think so. But I have a trainee for whom a heart attack didn't do it. A diabetes diagnosis didn't do it either. What pushed her over the edge is seeing a picture of herself at her peak weight.
