How Big is Too Big?

I am happy at the size I am right now but do not want to get any bigger so that I outgrow my clothes. I would like to eat to maintain my weight. Even if I lost 100 pounds I would still be in the plus size range. I also do not want to get bigger because of the stress on my knees. They are starting to hurt when I sit for long periods of time.

Setting Them Straight

When I was at Seminary I was in a discussion group and one of the members was passing out Hershey's kisses.
"Here," he said to me, "Take six."
"Are you saying that because I am large?" I asked.
"I was just kidding," he said.
"Well it wasn't funny," I answered.
At the risk of being defensive, I think it is important to set people straight about the assumptions that surround fat people. Because I was large, this man assumed I would stuff myself with Hershey's kisses. And if I was going to stuff myself with Hershey's kisses, I would not need his damn permission.
