My Air Conditioner Makes Me Fat

Posted by Mrs Zeee on 07/24/2009

I come up with all sorts of excuses as to why I can’t lose weight but now I think I have finally found the reason why I am unable to shed the pounds: AIR CONDITIONING.

My air conditioner contributes to my weight gain because:

1) It regulates the temperature to just a touch above chilly — perfect weather for an increased appetite. Think about it, when you are hot and sweaty in the summertime, the last thing you want to do is eat. But, in the chilly A/C, it’s license to consume because you are comfortable.

2) I grow accustom to a cool home and because of that, I dread going outside and having to re acclimate to the heat. When I do have to leave the house, it takes me longer to do so…

3) No better way to nap than to sit on the couch in an air conditioned room with a light blanket on…Can you say LAZY?

When I look back at all of those photos of my relatives from the 60’s they were all rail thin and you know what else? they were all glistening with sweat because central air was non-existent. Did braving the summer heat contribute to their svelt-ness?

I think I’m on to something here.

Maybe I’ll try a few days in August sans air conditioning…

but I better get some more deodorant!!
