I am overweight. I like myself, and am not as concerned as I should be about being overweight. I do want to exercise, theoretically, but other things just seem more important until another day has gone by without exercising.

My weight, whatever it has been, has never really affected my self-esteem. Maybe it should - I'd exercise more?

Losing weight is the right thing for me for so many reasons - long-term health, avoiding knee and joint problems, extra wear and tear on various systems ... I have seen older people who were overweight at my age, and it ain't pretty. I just need to do it.
