what sadden's me deeply is that yesterday, a girl that I work with came in with diet pills. She is 5'10 and weighs 151. When I was younger, I was a size 5 and thought that I was fat. Life then happened and circumstances beyond my control allowed me to gain weight. After the death of my daughter, I could not walk up a flight of stairs without being short of breath. I decided that that was enough. I was to young to have that problem. I was also facing my husbands health issues at the time. Exercise was and still is my escape from my problems. Yes, I am fat, but I am one that exercises. The fact that I am fat does not make me unhealthy.
My point is, it does not matter if you are fat or thin, what matters as many others have said, "Are you happy?" Unfortunately, society makes us have threads as this debating what the "ideal" weight is.
