Crass, but true. I don't mean to hurt any feelings with this, but somehow our aesthetic is inclined toward "slim is beautiful." This idea has been highly controversial; deleterious to health, and then not (e.g. anorexia/bulemia vs. a national obesity index); a struggle between old-world vs. new ("My mom used to feed us like lumberjacks," vs. parents starting their children on designer diets - Google it). I know I have about 20 lbs. to lose, and that's just so running won't hurt my ankle and back anymore. But it's also to increase my energy and develop self-control, character, and efficiency.
