All of my life I was teeny tiny and generally underweight. Of course I am small-framed and only 5'1". Over the past few years, I guess about 5 or so now, I have increasingly gained and gained and gained!!! I am pretty positive it started the most when I had to start on anti-depressants ... which I will most likely be on for life. Anyway .... I am now diabetic thanks to my ballooned weight and lousy eating habits.

Now ... to my purpose of this poll (do I have one...lol)



Basically I have become "comfortable" so to speak with being "fat".... not comfortable in a healthy sense, my blood sugar is very hard to control and I feel lousy most of the time. By comfortable I mean .... content, accustomed, settled, non-motivated to change. Hmmm.... could it be that I actually enjoy being fat!!!??? I don't know ... but I know that people (women in particular) tend to accept me better and treat me nicer. I was fairly attractive when I was thin, and had very few female friends ..... which I think is the case for most girls ... and it is a SAD testament to how insecure we women are!!!! Also, I have been amazingly surprised at how "accepting" my hubby is of my fuller figure! Could it also be that he feels more secure at this point in our lives with having a wife that doesn't get "the looks" anymore????

What do you all think? I am posting this poll with many choices ...
