The other evening I was watching a TLC documentary — actually, a trio of them. Half Ton Teen, Half Ton Mom, and Half Ton Dad. And while I was sitting there watching these shows, I suddenly realized just how good I have it… compared to people who are 500 lbs., 600 lbs., 800 lbs. and so on and so forth. I bet those people would kill to weigh what I do, even though I myself am still classified as morbidly obese. They probably also want to roll their eyes and scoff at people like me for being so upset about weighing what we do.
…Just as I would kill to weigh what a 200 lb. person weighs, and just as I roll my eyes and scoff at the people who weigh 150 lbs. and even 200 lbs. who want to lose 20-50 lbs. If only I had that “little” to lose!
So, I’m going to try my best to not discount the feelings and weight loss issues of those thinner than me… however, exceptions will be made for the 125 lb. woman who is moaning over those last five pounds. Because, c’mon… really? Five pounds?!
