Anyhoo, natural things do very well there and you have lots of tourists in the summer too so an added plus.

LOL, that is why I dont live there either! No just kidding, I would live there if I could but being a single mom, it is cheaper to live here. Anyway I can go there whenever I want but yes the super thin girls make me want to scream!

The women in Durango are thin because they know when to stop eating after they had enough, not because of the health spas, hiking trails or the weather.

The women there hike, bike, jog and exercise alot. I think that has alot to do with it and they dont eat any meat or if they do, not much meat. They eat healthy too. Granola, fruit, etc. Oprah also said on TV that she didnt see any fat people anywhere in Durango either unless they were tourists. The people there are health loving people which is a good thing. We all should be more like they are.

But hey at lease i am healthy now, i will take the weight instead of cancer.
But yeah alot of people think cause your big you eat alot. and that isn't the case in so many.

Yes Kali, I know what you mean! I dont eat much either and I am not fat but have that Latino hiney, aka Jennifer Lopez butt. The clothing designers all design all the cool clothes for the pencil thin stick girls and try wearing those low cut jeans on a "hippy" girl and it looks terrible! Alot of it is genes too. I have a friend now living in San Antonio and she is very big but eats like a mouse. It is just genetic in her family, they are all big. Guys just dont understand about women. They eat all they want and look fine and even if they are fat, it is ok for them but for a girl to be fat is not ok from society point of view. Sad but true. I have come to terms with myself that I am not going to be a pencil but I feel sorry for the young girls today who have such high pressure to look like the Olsen twins. For myself, I dont think it looks healthy to be that thin but that is me. Anyway, I am happy for you on your Farmington trip! Oh and have that Blakes Lota Combo, that is what it is called when you order a hamburger, fries and a soda at Blakes, and eat to not being a pencil girl!  Take care!

The problem of overweight is simple mathematics, if the body gets more calories than the body burns, the excess is stored as fat. The trick is to match the calories ingested with the calories spent, foods that don't seem to be fattening, may carry tons of calories. One Club Sandwich carries 800 calories just like a slice of cheese cake. A nutritionist can help to find out how many calories one needs and how to match it with the appropiate quantities of adequate food. Overweight affects men and women equally and it's a health risk for both.

Tito, for some people, eating too much does equals fat but that isnt always the case. There are some who eat very little and are still overweight. I know a Native American friend here and he always watches what he eats under 1500 calories a day or less, but still is overweight and he execises too. Slow metabolism, thyroid problems, genetics and health also play a factor and not just eating too much.
Kalli, the days are counting down and you will be in Farmington. Hope you have a great time!

People burn calories at different rates, some are slow burners, others are medium burners and there are some lucky high burners too. The high burners are the ones that can eat anything and any amount and never get fat. At the other extreme are the slow burners who gain wait with even an starvation diet. That's why there are nutritionists that can help to figure out what is the best plan for losing weight. Obesity is not a problem of beauty, it's a matter of life and death.
