I would kindly ask you to please to watch the program (Video) I posted. I think they did a fair job of covering this issue, without holding back the facts.

I have struggled with my weight in the past, and needed to make some serious life changes.

If anyone bashes overweight folks here, I don't agree with that approach. I hope somehow I've encouraged you to take a step in the right direction.

I just get annoyed at others judging others. Everyone has issues in their life somewhere... none are perfect...yet.

I have been eating extremely healthy foods for over a year now... I exercise and try to stay healthy. I am in the right direction...because I just want to be healthy.

see.. if you have a person suffering from COPD, you know that they probably smoked at some point in their life.... however, they can have the disease and not be a smoker.

You can have someone who is single and pregnant who doesn't have sex outside of marriage anymore....but they are still pregnant.... or someone can have a sexually transmitted disease, but no longer be sexually promiscuous.

someone could have cirrosis of the liver, but no longer drink, or never was a problem.

Just because someone is overweight does not mean they are unhealthy or that they are current overeaters... they could have been in the past, and they could have changed their habits... but still dealing with excess weight.

I have lost over 50lbs in the last several years... but then I started maintaining the current weight. So... when I am judged because of my weight, it annoys me.... especially when someone wants to say it is linked to my salvation.
