re 25.  Go see Dr. Thiry in AA.  he's awesome.  I went there when I 
was at my heaviest and I think he handled it the way it should be 
done.  He just said after my annual physical that I was very healthy 
and that at some point my weight might become a factor and if I ever 
wanted his help, just to ask.  He never brought it up again after 
that, until I did.  I love that guy.

I think generally if you are over weight, you can be healthy, and I 
have been living proof of that.  I think there are lots of overweight 
people who are healthier than some thin people.  However, if you are 
over weight and can't walk up a flight of stairs without being winded, 
you might want to focus on some exercise.
