No, this is not an excuse to go goodyear; just a bit of reality. In a post, about losing the weight, and keeping it lost,

someone made mention, that getting adequate sleep, matters.  The person had worked third shift.  Come to think of it, our bodies were designed to sleep when it's dark outside.  But our civilization needs people to work at night.   If the power goes out, if someone gets a heart attack at 3 am; if an ice storm happens at night, the roads need treated, so essential personnel can get to work, in one piece.  Anyway, people working various crazy shifts, must deal with inconsistent sleep patterns.  So yeah, john and jane, pulling the crazy shifts, may be a few pounds overweight.

Speaking of working, a certain borderline obese housewife would cook her Husband a nice breakfast, before he went to his day job.  Then, an hour later, she made breakfast for their two kids, and also packed their lunches.  Well, we all know, that if you want the pounds away, stay the flock out of the kitchen. (Likewise, if you want to give up beer, you steer clear of the tavern.)  People who sing-song that you need to have willpower, are running their version of salvation by one own works - oh, shut yer pie hole, already; saving ourselves, by our own ("filthy rags") works??  HAH!  That's not Biblical.

What IS Biblical, is having compassion for people, working crazy shifts - and having mercy for people, on the 3am break, and the only food available, is the junk in the breakroom vending machine.
