Strangely, it's odd that the fact weight is based directly on exercise too. It's not advertised enough in the media that it's important to exercise as well as eat healthily. I'm fat, but I have a good diet. I have discovered recently that my theory about exercise is directly true for myself, my mother, my boyfriend and my boyfriend's parents. And we're all just using exercise machines and/or wii-fits

It's funny because I barely exercise; I walk everywhere, but I don't do any upper arm exercise except for occasionally juggling and poi. I don't go out of my way to DO EXERCISE. It is silly that weight does correlate to happiness for people, mostly because of the current culture that beauty = slimness (slimness? :s) and people don't want to deviate form the perceived 'norm', which of course, isn't the norm at all! Sometimes I feel guilty for being slim (without doing a thing about it) around people who are larger, especially when they feel badly about being larger...& then I wonder if I would care as much were I larger. Unless I do an eating experiment, I guess I won't know! But then, for me to put on another couple of stone I would have to stop walking so much and start eating more fatty foods and so I think my self-esteem would probably drop because of that, rather than the actual weight issue. Hmm...lots & lots of factors, it seems
