why they gain weight

I have always been an active person doing many things outside when not at work. I have wondered for several years why people gain weight and begin to get fat. I looked in the mirror about a year ago and it occurred to me that I was fat. It seems it crept up on me when I was not watching. Working the kind of job I work now I can see why people (even me ) get fat.I work 12 plus hours per shift and when I come home at 8pm I am to tired to exercise, but I eat dinner and then I am ready to go to bed. In doing this I now know how easy it is for one to get fat. Maybe the reason I got fat was so I can have more compassion for those of us that it snuck up on when they were not watching. Thanks for listening.Steve

I am back again

My life has finally slowed to the point that I can begin to blog again. I did attend Linn Benton community collage during winter term. I took more of the classes that would be required to get an associate degree of general studies. It was quite a shock for me to be back in school with all of the kids being so young and me being old enough to be their dad.They were very help full to me and more polite than I expected they would be. I am sorry that I could not have gone longer but I had to return to work so that I could pay the bills for the household. It will be nice to blog again, It might not have always made since but it felt good just to get it off of my chest. Thanks for listening. Steve
