Its my biggest issue in my life... and know what? I'm far healthier than a lot of skinny people!
*Sigh*

Oh, Catnapper, I am with ya on this one. I wish people would judge us for who we are and not how we look. I can remember walking around the Ohio State campus with my son who was maybe 10 years old. We were there for one of his big swimming events. Anyway..we were walking back to our car and of course there was a group of college boys across the street and they made mooing noises and nasty remarks the whole way. My son held on to my hand and said he wished he was big enough to go beat them up. I told him no good would come from that. When I finally got to my car and we started down the road I burst into tears. Brandon patted me on the arm and said to not worry about it that they were just stupid people. Smart little boy he was. I'm use to it and I'm aware that I have put myself in that position, but for them to do that when my little boy was with me just humiliated me even more. Hmmm...I think you are right...this should be in another thread.
