I have had a lot of friends from dims die horrible deaths in just the few years i've been here. i have to say it has affected me very deeply. none of them even reached their 50s. most were in their 30s. none of it was WLS related. sometimes i look around at the younger generation who are in their 20s and already well over the 400lb mark and it really frightens me that i'm going to lose them soon. they already have old lady diseases that i don't even have yet. it took me until 40 to reach their size. i was always athletic to a degree. i've always been careful of the types of foods i ate. i'm watching their lives go by unexplored and limited and it saddens me. even now even though i'm not quite ready for international flights again i can still fly all over the country.
i'm not anti fat at all. i feel its beautiful and it can be healthy but when is it just too much? does it ever bother you to see so much bad health and misery going on around you? do you ever worry about the bad habits that are encouraged even though you can easily be fat having good ones? is doing things like cup cake eating etc... for effect really necessary? how do you handle it? how does it apply to you personally? i know i might be overly sensitive but i'd really like to hear everyone else's opinion on this stuff.
