&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;When people gain weight, we always tell ourselves to go on a
diet, exercise, and live healthy.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;But we
never actually do those things and we gain more pounds because we get depressed
just by thinking we are getting fatter and fatter.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;I guess we don&amp;#39;t really get to lose weight
because we don&amp;#39;t have the right reasons for it.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;
&lt;/span&gt;So let me give a list of possible reason why we should start losing
weight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style=&quot;margin-top: 0in;&quot; type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;If you
     keep on whining about how you always get tired easily and you think you
     are gaining weight, then you are probably right.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;So start listening to yourself and stop
     eating so much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style=&quot;margin-top: 0in;&quot; type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;&quot;&gt;There is more of me to bear is the
     bedroom translation of there is more of me to love.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Meaning the fatter you get, the harder
     it is for and your partner in bed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

     are not doing anything or you are not working, try to exercise instead of
     watching TV and again eating too much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

     don&amp;#39;t have to hear someone whispering if you paid for two for taking two
     seats in the bus or train.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

     you lose weight everything else lose fats including the suprapubic fat
     pad.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;So guys if your belly starts
     to shrink, then something will appear to have grown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

     scratch will be a blast!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 0.25in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.25em;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

     chance of getting a heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, depression,
     sleep apnea, impotence, back pain, joint problems, gallstones, low sperm

     you&amp;#39;ll be able to ride the Jet Ski, and a wakeboard with a lighter
     weight.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;And you can surf without
     worrying that the surf board might break in half.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;So pump it up and hit the beach.&lt;strong style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

     are able to lose weight.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Even if
     you did it in a cool way or just the regular exercising and dieting way,
     as long as you were able to reach your goal.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;It means you are one heck of a
     responsible person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
