I was greatly relieved to get beyond your trivial poll about soft drinks and on to weightier matters such as our weight. I can't wait for your next poll. I am over weight but not discouraged about it, neither am I constantly trying to lose weight. I just try to eat nutritiously and exercise regularly and maybe that will pay off eventually if I am consistent. Weight makes our first impression.
People judge immediately according to our size.
Slender people are seen as in control and overweight people are seen as lazy. As much as I wish this wasn't the case I have come to accept it as the norm. I wear larger dark clothing to cover my problem. I was slender as a teenager and didn't put on weight until I started to have children. With each child I added a little more and have had minimal success in taking it off.
