It would only attract my attention if the person expressed grief at inability to find partners, health issues, social isolation, etc.Steven Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630529492355131777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-85380435477158527392010-02-15T12:22:22.906-08:002010-02-15T12:22:22.906-08:00Here's the thing Steve.

I eat pasta, rice or potatoes with my meat. So I am borderline obese not could I can't resist food when I see it but because of the foods I enjoy. Earlier this week my wife and I ordered a pizza pie to share with our two grandsons ages 7 and 11. My wife and grandsons each had two slices. I had one slice decided I was full and we froze the extra slice. So, I weigh the possible gain from losing weight if I change what eat against the pleasure I get from eating the foods I enjoy and I eat what I like. My decision just like those who risk themselves skiing or engaging in other potentially harmful activities.Marty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465745755940914756noreply@blogger.com
