The report revealed these key findings:

For the sixth year in a row, Mississippi topped the scales. A 33.8 percent rate of adult obesity made the Magnolia state the worst in the nation.
Tied for second were Alabama and Tennessee, followed respectively by West Virginia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas and South Carolina.
North Carolina tied the only Northern state to make the top ten—Michigan—for tenth place in terms of highest levels of adult obesity, with a rate of 29.4 percent.

Mississippi was also worst for obesity among children aged 10-17, with a whopping 21.9 percent of children being seriously overweight.
Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Arkansas were all in the top ten for childhood as well as adult obesity—but Oklahoma, Michigan, and the Carolinas were replaced here by Illinois, Texas, Georgia and, oddly, Washington, D.C.

The states who fared best on adult obesity are concentrated in the north and west, with Colorado, Connecticut and Washington D.C. leading the pack, followed by Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Rhode Island, Utah, Montana and New Jersey. While it may seem unusual that D.C. would be in the top ten best places for adult obesity and ten worst for children, because it is really a city not a state, it’s hard to make truly reliable comparisons.

One state! ONE! Just one state that is under 20% and that is only barely. And, my goodness, 21.9% of kids 10-17 obese in MS. Well, as my home state, that does not surprise me. It just makes me very, very sad. :(

As a matter of fact my world IS that small and in my world it IS big news.
I live in a very small town. And we'll take any news we can get. :glasses:
And if I wanna get excited about this, I'm gonna!! :clap:


:raspberry:

you can take excitement out of the boy but you cant take the boy out of the excitement..

or is it the other way around?

why have i been irritated all day?

:hammer::badmood::slapfight::wtf:

i know i can stop feeling grouchy....

i can! dang it!

:eatinghersheybar:

:rrose: I've been spinning and out of sorts too....

here....we need more :chocolate:

i think we should go to one of those "spas" that let you take a bath in chocolate....i would seriously love to be in a tub up to my neck in chocolate right now. Which tells me how off i am, cause usually when someone mentions bathing in chocolate all i can think is "omg what a waste of chocolate!!"
:bath:

for you, Jo :bunchflowers::gimmehug::chocolate:

I'm proud of myself for removing the keyboard tray. :cheerleader:

Thinking about next week, all that is riding on it, trying not to be too optimistic/excited for fear I will be really disappointed if it doesn't go well. :praying:

Waking up with a headache every morning is getting old. :badmood:

Sweeeeet.

I am pissed as all hell....the DA program I was working with to help me acquire a part time position, is considering dropping me out of the program because my back has gone out. Well, DUH, thats why I am in their DA program! Did they think I wouldnt remain disabled once in their program? Oh for gods sake...I HATE what I go thru because of this back....

fuck fuck fuck...

softness..I feel for ya and shurly know how u feel.It amazes me that if a requirement for being on a DA program is to be DA they shurly dont think its going to disapeer once on the program...gov..sometimes I wonder.

I am pissed because I just went out and bought a new book shelf and my cousin was helping me put it together and he broke it, so now i wasted all this money and i have no fucking bookshelf......................................... ............ i hate BIO MEN.

having composed myself and determined what it is I can control over what it is I cant control, I have determined that I can address this matter with the agency that referred me to and is paying the other agency to find me a PT job.

sorry for the swear words earlier. It takes alot to make me crack like that...but this was the last thing I needed to hear after sweating it out one more time in ER...

Good Luck!!!! Now that my oldest niece and nephew are leaving tomorrow, I will be able to go to the college next week and finish everything up so I can start college at the end of August.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Take your cousin to the IKEA in Seattle, it is down by SEATAC, and make him buy you a new one. I bought a desk from there, and I had it put together in twenty minutes.

Have a good night,

Zimmy
