[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 531904, member: 6546"] OK - This seems a little patronizing....but perhaps I misunderstand you....so let me explain where I am coming from: My husband is "morbidly obese" according to any chart in any physician's office. He is a big guy. BUT - he is healthy as a horse. Low blood-pressure, low cholesterol, normal blood-sugar, etc. He struggled with being "the fat kid" his whole life. He was bullied and picked on... until he joined the football team. All of a sudden his size was an ASSET. Plus - he got into a sports diet and added weight training. Still - he never really lost any weight....he just got healthier. I'm saying the numbers on the scale aren't everything....and sometimes we focus too much on that. [/QUOTE]
