The Science of Obesity

National Geographic has a special called, "The Science of Obesity" and it discusses the way the body adapts to our overweight stature - all the way to how the body reprograms itself to keep going.

I was struck by the tenacity of the human body - its amazing what we ask of it, and how it always strives to survive - regardless of what we're doing to ourselves.

Check it out - it is truly eye-opening.

Ya Kris - if you could see how your skeleton has literally changed the way it supported you with that weight - I think you'd trip out!

I'd love to see that..what a great blog this is! I have a LOT of weight to lose, and I admire my body for hanging in there with me through all the ups and downs.
