Ht. 5ft6, Wt. 75kgs - I'm very angry at soceity at the moment and the way they stigmatize slightly overweight and obese people.I had a chat with my very skinny Mother last night and she said she wouldn't be soo thin if soeity wasn't putting so much pressure on her to look a certain way.
And to be honest i wouldn't be trying to loose loads of weight except for the reason to be Happy and healthy but so i can fit in and people will accept me.It really gets on my wick that you have to look a certain way in order to be socially acceptable.I also hate the way if your overweight you are stigmatized.
I wish things would change but they won't.So the only thing to do is loose weight ,look good and feel great.
