Half of me loves it....everyone should be ok with who they are, right? Everyone should be happy and no one deserves to be made fun of due to their physical appearance. BUT....the other half of me hates it, because it is NOT OK to be obese. That's not me trying to hurt someone's feelings....I'm legitimately worried about the health of a good portion of the population. It's an epidemic, and campaigns such as "big is beautiful" is glorifying obesity, whether that is the original intent or not.
I love everyone...well, most everyone. I just want you all to live long, healthy, happy lives, and being overweight can prevent that.
Yeah, I turn 30 one week from today. I figure that's going to be about mid-life for me. Though in truth my heart is good, my cholesterol is fine, but the T2DM is going to get me.
