[QUOTE]Originally posted by Eponine: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zesovietrussian: [qb] I think those who take good care of ourselves have every right to judge those who don't, [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not going to flame you, but I'm going to disagree with your basic assumptions. I'm 195 lbs and 5'2"- by the BMI I'm morbidly obese. I also eat a pretty fabulous diet full of fruits, veggies, and meats. I'm actually pretty passionate about good food, but that's another subject entirely. I also have two kids I run around after all day long, so I'm constantly moving, including a daily ~hour long nature walk. More than just diet and exercise, I make sure to get enough sleep, some time to myself, and maintain good relationships with those I live with and am around every day. I avoid cigarettes, coffee, and drugs (both the illegal and prescription kind). I wear my seatbelt. By all standards, I take care of myself. My husband worked with a guy who thought ramen was "real food". This guy ate Hostess snack cakes, and fast food pretty much all the time. He was also really really skinny. Shortly after telling me about this guy, he landed in the hospital. He had to be fed by an IV, and diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. But he was skinny. Fat/= doesn't take care of themselves. And Skinny/= takes care of themselves. You can't tell by looking at someone whether they take care of themselves. [/QB][/QUOTE]
