I've lost 60 lbs over the past two years, and (although I could lose more) it's remarkable the difference it has wrought in my life. Not the internal self-confidence (although it has)... but the most important thing is the *absence* of discrimination. I no longer have to wait to get helped by sales clerks, or to get a drink at the bar. In little ways, every day, people signaled to me that I was being discriminated against.

That's the worst part...and I still get it sometimes...since I am certainly NOT a size 4 (more like a proud size 12). So I understand. And it pisses me off too!

(((HUGS))) all
