No more taunting allowed, because this size proportion of most people is so common that it wouldn't be funny (as if it ever was) to joke about someone's large(r) size.

But there is a solution to most of this epidemic of the increasing girth and waistline of the vast majority of adults, mostly in North America.

Use up more calories than you take in.

Now, I am not supposing that this simplistic solution applies in every single instance. The true, and genuine out-of-whack thyroid conditions come to mind.

But for the large majority of adults, it has simply become a case of we are eating too much and exercising too little.

But the word 'exercise' scares most folks.

Visions of bulge-revealing grey sweatpants and armpit showing sweatshirts come to mind for most people when they recall history's recent exercise crazes.

But in today's world, one has to get 'exercise' where they can.

It doesn't have to constitute a three-year membership and daily trips to the local neighborhood gym, be it LAFitness, Golds Gym, Bally's, or 24hour Fitness.

Exercise can be as simple as walking to that co-workers desk across the office, instead of phoning them.

Or, yes, walking those two flights of stairs up to that next meeting at work, instead of taking the elevator.

Or, parking your car at the FAR end of the parking row and walking in to the store.

Exercise can even be as simple as taking the groceries in from the car and carrying them into the house - one bag at a time.

You see, in today's world we are all busier than ever. Even though we have all the tools, gadgets, and devices that were designed to make our lives easier.

So we have to seek out exercise where we can find it in our lives. Why? Because we all need to continue eating.

And as long as we're going to continue doing that, we're going to continue taking in the calories. And if they aren't going to be used, they're going to be put away somewhere in our body. Yes, they're going to be stored as fat.

Can we all say 'Hello love handles'?

So you see, exercise for most people does not have to consist of a monthly membership fee and pumping iron with the rest of the gronks in the gym. Of course, if that's your deal, like it is mine, than go for it because that'll do you a world of good.

But if you're like most folks and you barely have enough time to change your mind, never mind your lifestyle, don't worry.

Just change how you do the things you ALREADY are doing. Change them so you make yourself work more and subsequently burn more calories.

And you might realize that you're actually, gasp, 'exercising'.
