but the rest of us are either > dieting or apologizing for our weight. What is wrong with this picture?
Actually I have found the weight gain and wrinkles to be a liberating thing - it's like I've become an invisible person. I can come and go places with very few people noticing, if I want. I can do and say outrageous things and people accept it - they just think it makes you more interesting. I don't have to be worried all the time about how I look because I finally realized it doesn't matter as long as I'm neat and not slovenly. I am able to get more things done in committees and work situations because people are focused on what I'm saying - not how I look. I love where I am in life. I do try to watch my weight for health purposes but as long as I am able to mount my horse without a problem, I'm satisfied -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
