Along with my prediction about a possible future of the medical system, I am also working on a proposal for a weight loss camp that is similar to something I was involved with when I was young. The basic idea is that you have a total immersion in a very remote wilderness camp that is run along similar lines to a military boot camp in that there are disciplines and strictures and many mandatory activities, with important differences of course.
For one thing, once you have signed all the contracts and agreed to the weeks of getting the equivalent of sargeants yelling at you and abusing you, you will be given massive doses of various physical activities outdoors. However, you will be naked at all times. Also, you will be required to have sex with all the other men and women in the camp.
This may seem a bit irrelevant, but it is meant to address the body issues that fat people have, and their resulting poor attitudes toward sex. Plus, constant sex will help distract everyone from the fact that they are getting less food than they are perhaps used to.
And another component is that they will all be immersed in information about healthy eating habits, and be taught how to prepare healthy meals.
Again, I am writing this not just because it involves stroke fodder; but also because I think that it is a good idea and I wish somebody out there would do such a thing. Feel free to rip off my idea! I suspect fat people would pay thousands to attend such a camp.
In response to a reader that opined that I was delusional, I just said you may be right. But I know a few things. There are a lot of fat people out there who are incredibly desperate to not be fat. And I know a lot of them have tried everything they can find, and spent thousands on these programs, and done lots of diets and lots of exercise programs, and are still desperate and still afraid to have sex because they don't feel like they are human beings. An important part of the problem is self image. They are both shy and inhibited because they believe that they are ugly and nobody wants to fuck them. Which is a self fulfilling prophecy, as they are usually too inhibited to allow anyone to get close to them.
So I hope to explode that self image. With dynamite.
My concept is, for one thing, to have them all naked all the time, so they cannot hide their bodies from everyone, and so they can start to see their body as not that different from everyone else's, especially when they are in an entire group of naked bodies. It will help them feel more OK about their own body. and come to accept their body as a normal part of the human race. Which is another one of my objectives.
Many fat people do not feel human, and being forced to have sex with everyone else in this artificial environment will bring them closer to their animal nature, which is usually very much suppressed, and the source of much shame.
So I hope to explode their old repressed and highly defensive self image by getting them to behave like animals. And in so doing, put them in touch with an important part of what it is to be human.
Not to mention that with all the sex, activities in the outdoors all day, and intensive lessons about cooking and the appreciation of great food, they won't have much time to tell themselves how miserable they are that they're losing all that weight.
