I read this from the MSN news site.....hmmmm....Harrison Ford fantasies......
Maybe you CAN blame being fat on your genes. But there's a way to overcome that family history — just get three to four hours of moderate activity a day.
Sound pretty daunting?
Not for the Amish of Lancaster County, Pa., who were the focus of a new study on a common genetic variation that makes people more likely to gain weight. It turns out the variant's effects can be blocked with physical activity — lots of it.
I vote for moving to Lancaster Pa and becoming Amish! We can be lovely, size 4 Amish women with 7 kids and no electricity. We will hope and pray that an accident happens to our hard-working but boring Amish husband and that Harrison Ford crashes into our barn ,we have an illicit affair with him in between feeding the children and milking the cow, and we pass our idle time running from crooked cops and drug dealers.
We will sweat like pigs, have boobs down to our knees from all that breastfeeding and probably have hair on our legs and crotches that resembles a jungle (Do Amish women wax?)
Perhaps- inspired by never being able to actually SEE Harrison during our midnight trysts, we make candles and use the excess wax to open up our own Amish Hair Removal Salon. We quickly become the Mary Kay in the world of Amish Hair Removal, open up salons in all Amish settlements and quickly amass vast quantities of pies, chickens and other methods of Amish payment.
All of the waxing and trysting with Harrison will continue to make us svelte and lean. Who's with me??????? The train for Lancaster leaves on Friday....
(Bring extra Twinkies for the trip. We can work it off once we get there!)
