After listening to today's show, I'm doing some thinking. I'm definitely in bad shape. I'm 50 lbs overweight, I drink too much, and I smoke too much. I eat the worst kinds of foods. I'm thinking I should change. The diet would actually be the toughest thing. Not only will it require a lot of will power, but I'll have to change my son's and father's diet, too (I do all the cooking).So...  Anyone else thinking more about their own health, after what happened to Fez?

You brought up a great point Papa.  I'm sure we could all use some improvement, personally even though I'm pretty slim it aint from my eating habits.  Eventually it could definitely catch up with me, and I'd rather not end up giving myself insulin shots 20 years from now just so I can eat a plateful of chocolate chip cookies every few days.  I should probably quit smoking soon, as I'm still young and not hopelessly addicted.  Today was certainly a mortality wake up call.

Papa I was thinking the same thing.   I am not getting any younger and it is time to make a stand and lose some damn weight before they are putting me in a box.  I know it was hard for Fezzy living alone and picking up stuff quick to eat instead of cooking for himself.  Fezzy we are all behind you and we are going to make an effort to get healthy ourselves.

Good luck, take care of yourself so you can be around to be an old fart for your son for a long time. The hardest part about a change is starting, so, get started.

Yeah, I guess this could be a wake-up call. I'm not overweight, but my diet is pretty poor.( I love Cheesesteaks) A few too many brews in the evening. Too many smokes...  and CHEEZ-ITS!!!My cholesterol is a bit high, and I get winded too easily.I'm with you, Papa!!  Let's try to impove ourselves, At least a little bit.For inspiration, look at the Mike Teach pix!!   DAMN!!! If that SOB can do it, there is hope for many of us.

Actually, the news is a little scary to me. I
have multiple sclerosis, diabetes and mild cardiopulmonary
hypertension.  about 8 years ago I was told to quit smoking and
lose weight or die just like my father, who had a heart attack and died
at the age of 48.  I quit smoking cold-turkey and lost over 80
pounds. I've been working overnights now for just
over 5 years.  Overnights makes you sedentary.  I stopped
exercising.  I put back 40 pounds.  Last year, I started
smoking again.  In other words, I'm nearly right back to what I
was when I was told to get off my ass or die just like dear old Dad. So hearing about Fezzie scared the shit out of me.  I think it's time to do something about it for myself.

For inspiration, look at the Mike Teach pix!!   DAMN!!! If that SOB can do it, there is hope for many of us.=True on the SOB part, which is exactly what I became when I quit the booze and dropped the weight.There is absolutely nothing I or anyone can say to anyone else to get them to get their shit together. You have to hold yourself in front of yourself and ask some serious fucking Qs. Easy to say, but very, very difficult in practice; because people don't want to hear the truth about themselves, and rarely speak to themselves about it. We blow ourselves off. Sober fucking sucks, but drinking like Elfish was worse.Hungry? Thats beyond suckage; that's slow fucking torture, ongoing for three plus years, I have no words of advice on how to be hungry for that long, except I am picking my suffering.The sugar tastes good, the tobacco smokes good, the booze feels good; millenia of instincts have told us 'if there's food available now, eat it; and eat it all, coz who knows when the next meal will be'; and zillions of years before that our instinctive drives for pleasure were hard wired into the brain and are the strongest in the brain; the brain is an addiction waiting to happen; its wired that way, what evolved for survival is now set in an utterly different world so we become these machines of eating and drinking and laziness, now in a world surrounded by stuff that sets off the pleasure parts, but also sets of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, ad nauseum...So easy to rattle off, so so so difficult to practice...

Mike you did great, and inspired me to lose some weight a year ago. i was not heavy, just heavier than i wanted to be. i dropped 15 pounds, mostly from putting the booze down and stopping the late night eating. made a big difference, and I feel so much better.

Within the last year and a half I lost about 70 lbs.....I'm down to around 160 to 165 lbs. now, and I look and feel a lot better.  On the downside, I suppose, is that I've taken up smoking.  But I'm not a chain smoker, so it's not quite as bad as it could be.For those of us who don't have XM, what's up with Fezzie?  I'm guessing by these comments that he's had a health scare, but I don't know what's going on.

just a recap: ron came on today and stated that on thursday, fezzie
had a heart attack, but still did the show.  he went to the
doctors after and is currently in ???.  he has also been diagnosed
with diabetes. fez will be out for a few weeks, recooperating. for
the last 2 months or show fez has shown symptoms of both; he's been
kind of sickly, complaining of chest pains, and getting slurry off
a  single beer.  it's reccommended that you sign up for a 3 day trial; all you need is a email address.  the show is preplaying at midnight. 
   godspeed budday.

I think what got me thinking the most today, was hearing from the callers. They talked about the trials of diabetes, and the one guy who talked about the quadruple bypass surgery. If what happened to Fez, happened to me, I'd be screwed. I don't have health insurance. I'm definitely going to change the way I live. Now I just have to figure out if I should change it all at once, or one thing at a time. The one thing I have going for me is a good family history. Almost everyone dies in their 80's or 90's.

I can not recommend the movie/documentary/whatever it is called 'What the Bleep Do We Know?!' which contains a lot of bullshit psuedoscience, but is one of the first films to directly address many of what people here are thinking/talking about. Ron wrote to me recommending it; 30 minutes in I was taking notes on what was being said.-The science of Addictions-The science of Love-why we choose to be miserable-how we can transform ourselves, utterlyall tied in with the world of cell biology and quantum mechanics.=WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.  She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn’t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life – that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn’t reality at all!  As Amanda learns to relax into the experience, she conquers her fears, gains wisdom, and wins the keys to the great secrets of the ages, all in the most entertaining way. She is then no longer the victim of circumstances, but she is on the way to being the creative force in her life. Her life will never be the same.  =<a href="http://www.whatthebleep.com/">http://www.whatthebleep.com/</a>

Don't forget about Pantera.  The man is now an adonis.=At the Red Rock West thing, such was P's transformation, that I was in the then almost empty room for about 15 minutes before I recognized him, and we've met several times before. I was flabbergasted, the guy puts me to shame.OK he was wearing glasses I wasnt used to but still, 15 minutes and then I'm like, ummm... uh.... that's you... Bobby?...

Please check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.Heart disease has been documented in kids as young as 13 years old.By SLOWLY beginning a workout routine, you really notice the results over time. Eating too much junk just puts too much stress on too many organs in the body including the cardiovascular system. Just walk a block at first if that is all you can do.Try to eat complex carbs ( pasta, rice, bread etc.) in moderation because the body will store some as glucose and stored as fat. THis is not rocket science, every one can do this, the important thing is to stick with it, and try to exercise at least 20 minutes/day for 3- 4 days a week.This is a great website and there are some really funny posters here that bring alot of entertainment to alot of people. Some times we need to step back and realize that ther are serious issues concerning everyone. By increasing your exercise routine, you will slowly start to increase your metabolism rate, and start to feel better about yourself,sleep better, and look better. It is just the right thing to do in this crazy stressful world.Not a sermon, just a thought

A few months ago I went to the doctor and got a wakeup call about my weight and the path i was going if i didnt do something soon.  i was looking at a lot of health problems but luckly I have turned my life around and I feel 100% better.  I workout every morning and I have changed my diet dramatically.  It's been about 3 months (but about 5 months since i have any fast food) and I am very close to the 30 pound mark....I still have a long way to go but more importantly I am SO much healthier now than I have been in a long time.
