Is there any point when people just give up and don’t care about their weight? I have heard older people worried about their calorie intake just as much as I see younger people concerned with the same thing. I think it is just one of those things that just never really goes away. I am glad that people try to be conscious about their weight, but there are far too many people who are over obsessive over their weight. We’ve heard it over and over, the fact that on the television, on magazines, and just in society in general, that you have to be skinny to be an okay person. It’s really sad, but it’s true.

Children learn it at a very young age as well. It seems like it is one extreme or the other with most people. Either they go overboard on dieting, or they absolutely do nothing about their weight. But even those who don’t do anything to control their weight, I believe that if they are overweight it bothers them. I think it’s uncomfortable to be overweight. People look at you different when you are overweight, and sometimes you are just treated badly. I don’t know the extreme on either side of the coin because I haven’t been hugely overweight or underweight, but I think severely underweight people deal with the same issues. I wish we could all just be happy with the way we are.
