After 447 days of "blogging" I am quickly come to the end of ideas to blog about. I think that I have hit all the salient points on dieting and specifically how it pertains to me, but I still have over a 100 days to go. And here I am again five days behind on the dang blog, with nothing new to write.
There is an over riding theme - I am doing good - or as is the case now - I am doing bad. Recently I found out genetically I am predisposed to obesity. But that is all statistics. And we all know how statistics can be manipulated. But I have to say, when I found out that I have a greater chance of being obese then the average bear, I thought there you go. However; what about T2? She too has the same genes as I do and she never even got overweight. Ah she must be an out-layer.
And then you have women under 50 diagnosed with breast cancer. The statistics are 1.45 (one in 69) will have breast cancer in their forties. So I know seven women in my circle of friends who had breast cancer before they were 50. Truthfully I don't have that big of a group of friends - in fact I would have to say in my little world I would be lucky to say there were 100. Let's say 100 - so in my world 7% of the women I know had breast cancer before they were 50. So chances are if you are my friend and you don't have it now your not going to get breast cancer before your fifty. But I think the clock starts all over after 50 right?
Anyway statistically I am 30 points above the average person to become obese. I always knew it was my parents fault.

ReplyDeleteyep, i'm counting on being an outlier for *lots* of things now that i've seen my genotype.
Does "out lier" mean someone who sleeps outside? Or is it "out liar" which is what the newspapers should do with our President?
ReplyDeleteI'm blaming my teachers
