I guess it's just the nurse in me. But HEALTHY is more important than being "thin." Don't do it to look better, do it to feel better & live a longer life.
That's totally the way I feel about it. Believe me, being gay and big are two things that for the most part dont go together. But I honestly am not too worried about that part of it. Just like you said, it's more about the health for me. And for Derek as well. I wish he didnt smoke. I really love him and I want him to be around for awhile. Thanks alot for the positive reinforcement btw.
