In reference to being treated differently when you are thinner/in shape - completely true....


When I was in high school, I was on the drill team and worked out like nothing else. I was 5'3" (on a good day) and weighed about 125, all of that muscle. I was also living in a small Texas college town.......not a good combination. Doors were opened for me, clerks practically tripped over themselves to help me, and waiters spent extra time at our table. Ha, now the flip side of that ~ older, married, and one baby later.....lets just say that 125 is a memory. I work out, try to eat right, but unfortunately it doesn't work like it did when I was in high school. It makes me sick that our society is so weight oriented when so many of us are overweight. Like another poster said - the ideal body weight for height I don't believe matches up. For example, 5'3" should be 130 max. For most people thats an unattainable goal so they don't even try.

oh and don't even get me started on the "mighty kids meal"
