philadelphia used to be top 10. since all the homosexual people started moving here, the amount of fit people has risen. It took us off the top 10 standing haha.

It's disapointing walking through the mall or anywhere where people congegrate. Everybody, "including me" is fat.

I'm working on it though. Something clicked and it's no longer okay because everyone else is fat too.

I just heard someone say something about this earlier today. From either Leno or Letterman:

"The trick is to get the ambulances big enough for the patients but still small enough to fit through the drive-thru."

Are we getting fatter as a nation, or just more extreme? On the Bell curve, usually more people on one extreme means more people on the other extreme as well. Are anorexia and bulimirexia on the increase as well?

K to you. That is a well thought out scenario, and makes perfect sense. As the folks get fatter, peer pressure for instance can turn many to bulemia and anorexia.

ST. LOUIS - Going to the hospital is rarely fun. If you weigh over 300 pounds like Beth Henk, it can be embarrassing. "I've flipped an exam table — I sat on the end of it and it just flipped up," said Henk, whose weight peaked at 745.

This story is more depressing...

I won't lie.... I'm on the other side of the coin... Food scares me to death!!! It's my greatest affection, and my worst enemy. It can make me physically ugly or beautiful...( according to my OWN mind) and I allow it to determine my worth and esteem. My control and value. It's everything I can do to eat in the first place, r if i do to stop, and not go "lose it". I would give the WORLD if I could go back in time, and change the time all of this started and enjoy food, life, etc. again. I used to NEVER think about it before and I was never fat, and never missed a date. very popular in school, but somewhere i got the notion the thinner i was the better i looked. Now when i run into the counter i get bruises on my hip, cause im bonier than i used to be. But i secretly LIKE IT! WTF!!! I've been seeing a eating disorder specialist for a year now, and theres only been mininmal change so far. But I think your right. All this obesity epidimic hype has actually scared me so bad i feel it's pushed me deeper into my wrong thinking and BAD behaviors. Not to blame it on ANYONE BUT ME, but, that, and kate moss gets me thinking too much!!! Anyhow...just thoughts.
