Examples of funky things that happen to me now that I am bigger than some people are comfortable with (these are in the last couple weeks):
- guy at the dance class I am attending mentions I might like another dance class because it is “more aerobic” (He was nice. It’s just that his assumption was that I was there to lose weight!)
- my shoulder and right arm hurt. I’ve been typing a lot at work and this happened to me during grad school when I was at the computer too much. My mom’s advice: “You need to get some aerobic exercise. Walk or run everyday.” She didn’t tell me that in grad school when my arm was hurting and I was thinner.

Just interesting…

Also, I’m looking for a man for a relationship and my own mind tells me that maybe I need to lose weight! Nevermind that I have had boyfriends at all different weights, guys like me now, and it didn’t seem to help me any when I was thinner, and I can see from looking around that love is not size predjudiced.

Also, in a women’s group I am in, a woman suggested I lose weight to attract more men, but she didn’t seem to think that would do the trick for my skinny and equally lonely friends.

Sheesh.
