Take a look around you at any con and you’ll likely see the problem right before your eyes: our industry has an obesity problem. The numbers back it up, too: those who work in office environments (as many of us do) are more obese, exercise less, and suffer pay discrimination. Many travel a lot and live out of a suitcase. Our meals come from airports and fast-food restaurants. Who has time left over for the gym? Add to that the hidden health dangers of obesity and you have a recipe for disaster. Whether you’re obese (like I was) or not, you can learn something from this rant: our community is the biggest support group you’ll ever have to get yourself on the right track. I’ll share my personal story as an example of what you can do. It’s time we come together as a community to help fight this problem. Won’t you join us?
