Somewhat.....I hate being critical about nit picking sort of things...remember my Grandmother being that way & I felt like punching her out most of the time....but just blew her off as being a stupid B!%@#^ lady that I never wanted to be like.....noticed that many old people were that way & chalked it off to old senile minds (she did die of alzheimers).

As far as the weight of others.....My Mother was always complaining that she had gained weight after she got married but never did anything about it. I saw many women who got married & got fat (overweight like fat). My mind thought...oh, you catch your husband then let yourself go???? So I made sure that wasn't going to happen with me. My Mom always told me that after she had me, she couldn't control her weight....so when I go pregnant....I made sure I didn't gain more than 5 pounds....my daughter was over 8 pounds. I didn't even look pregnant until the last month & I am only 5'2"......but I was back in my pre-pregnant shape in a few weeks.....the guy sitting next to me in my accounting class in college mentioned that I had lost some weight over Spring break......lol.

I wonder what people eat that are very overweight....but doesn't seem that much that it would cause that kind of weight gain most of the time....seems it has to be body metabolism.

Sad thing is that my husband gained weight.....overweight....not healthy.......went back to my thinking of my Mother.....you get married & let yourself go???? It doesn't matter how you look anymore???

His problem is that he eats from stress where I get sick & can't eat.....he gains what I loose & more. It is definitely a turn off, but his personality is more of a turn off & I left because of his personality after 33 years of crap....not because of his weight......but sure that his personality & his weight gain are part of each other.

Yes, I notice, but my best friends are overweight & they are the most wonderful people in the world.....weight has nothing to do with how wonderful people are inside.....so there is nothing about anyone's weight either overweight or underweight that would keep me away from them. One's heart & mind are what make a friend...not how much they weight.
