I remember when I was considering getting a UPC license, I went to talk to the District Sup. about it and all he could talk about was my weight and what I was planning on doing to loose weight. Never once did he actualy talk to me about what I needed to do to apply for a license.

No matter what your looks do matter. It's not just big people who get judged on how they look, Poor, Ugly, and Scary people all get judged on their looks aswell. We live in a judgemental society. Sometimes that includes the church.
