You know what, you're too smug! Here's why. I was in great shape in my early teens, marching band, summer swimming, summer softball, and always riding my bike around town!

When I started gaining weight due to my estrogen/metabolism kicking out, because of the Diabetes onslaught, that was out of my control, and a mystery to my doctors, my mom and myself!

Good for you. Glad you had a great start in life! I did too at once!

Must be easy to sit back and ridicule, did you ever have a rough start at anythng in life!?

Until you been in all the shoes of people across the world, with a different life than yours, don't ridicule, mock, or even compare!

Lady, I'm 37 years old!! I'm not ridiculing a single thing. Diabetes runs in my family. Doesn't mean I'm going to change my eating habits too much though. I don't really like sweets all that much. I was fat at one time (doing a good job of getting fatter) and fat runs in my family. I didn't give a dern for what I looked like. I actually remember not changing the TV station one time when the remote's batteries went dead because I would have to get up to do it. I look at my mother, her brother and sisters, and God love 'em don't want to end up like that.

As for BMI, according to that, I should weigh somewhere around 180-185. In the past six months, I've lost 10-12% body fat and put on 25 non-fat lbs from where I started. Sorry, but BMI is a joke.
