15 or so years ago I was borderline skinny, then a change of job resulted in much less physical exercise. Oddly I didn't notice my weight climbing as I rarely bothered the scales as I am not obsessed with looks and have good health. Nor did others point it out.
Today I am about 25 kgs heavier than I was
back then. I still fit into an airline seat without too much trouble, and I am
happy with my life. If I lose weight fair enough but I am not going to do so
just to satisfy others who are so sanctimonious about themselves.
sn, whilst agreeing with your opinion re some of the comments posted here being unneccessarily harsh I don't understand how anyone could put on 25kgs, around 4 stones in old money, without noticing. Shirts, jackets or trousers would have to be adjusted or replaced to accommodate the extra inches.
