Creating Our Own Standards

My night of dinning pleasure has come to an end, I ate sushimi, Caesar salad, jumbo prawns, Alaskan king crab legs, goat cheese and bell peppers with raw sweet onion from the cold section and the chafing plates provided me with lamb chops, and spinach soup.  I savored roasted ham that melted in my mouth and spring potatoes with fresh herbs.   For dessert I sampled an assortment of creamy and buttery delicate cakes, with chocolate mousse and a digestive of espresso and cognac. The total meal came in at under 2,000 calories, more protein than carbohydrates and more fat then carbs which means, I did not gain weight but I did nothing to get rid of my belly.  I am a Fat man in paradise, I love to eat, I derive great pleasure from food and it does not control me, I control what I eat and how much I eat and so can you.

Many of the actuary tables that are popular with the insurance industry such as Met life has almost everyone categorized as overweight or obese, no secret why they do this.   In today’s world, 240lb to 260lb is a common size.   Met life’s actuaries say my ideal weight is 72kg/ 160lb to 79kg/174lbs.  That is not what I want.   I believe my ideal weight is 84kg/ 185lb to 86kg/190lb.  I reject Met life's assessment and guidelines.  I know the weight I want; one that will make me happy and allow me to live a long fun filled life. Met life's actuaries do not fit into my desired standard of living.

Why live life by some one else’s standard?  I believe we should create our own life’s plan, one that is designing with life’s little pleasures, a life style that has rewards, adventure and happiness. In my opinion following a self generated road map to happiness is much healthier than being led by an insurance company’s idea of what my world should look like.  As a Fat Man in Paradise I am going to indulge and I am going to savor every , nibble, sip and bite.  I suggest you do the same.  

Go have some fun.
