Gosh I'm sorry people, I guess I missunderstood what you were all getting at. I guess I have egg on my face now (along with a little gravy, jelly, and some bacon grease)! I haven't been this embarrased since I dropped my tray at the all-you-can-eat buffet.

Let me add to the point by saying that I have very little sympathy for those who's troubles, IE: being morbidly Obese, and the associated troubles brought about by being so are almost ALWAYS through their Own actions.

While there are exceptions, Mostly it's their own actions that made them what they are today. As such, I sure as heck! am not going to feel sorry for them, or what they have done to themselves + the health troubles associated with Their own actions.

If you don't care about yourself, don't expect Me (Us) to either.

On the other hand, if it's something you have little or no control over...Well that is another whole ball of wax.

My size is due to my heredity. I had/have no say in what is in my genes. Several other potentially "Bad" things are in there too. As such, I have to be determined to try to avoid certain things, and embrace others.

I also was born with a birth defect (I'm almost blind in one eye). It has prevented me from doing many things that I wanted to do in life, but I understood this from an early age. I made other choices, and I kept on "Living" Life. I didn't play "The Victim" It's just "not Me".

Some people think life "owes" them something. I just don't get the whole "I'm a victim, I'm helpless, I give up on life, Now give me something!" mentality.
