Not long ago, I attended a concert by Jimmy Webb. He brought up all the amazing artists he has written for. He then began to tell us about Linda Ronstadt, and how her health was failing....how she had began to struggle with her weight and, being ripped in the press, made the decision to have some sort of gastric bypass, which then lead to the many health issues she has struggled with and continues to endure to this day. He was about in tears as he relayed the phone call he received the night prior with the disturbing news that she might not make it through the recent issues. Just before he began to stroke the keys and sing one of the many songs he had written for her, he asked us all to pray and send good thoughts her way.

My point being, some have personal struggles with weight, either being over or under weight, and until you are in that person's shoes, one should not spout off how they 'wish they'd lose weight so they'd be healthy' etc etc... it doesn't always work that way and there usually are all sorts of reasons behind weight issues. Take a look around, and be thankful if you yourself are healthy and right on target for your weight range. JTIS my opinion.

enjoy
