I was reading in the forums about a man who lost weight to fit on a Disney ride. It made me a little sad because I remember being six years old, going to the fair, and hearing the man who ran the pony rides telling my uncle I was too fat to ride the ponies, that I would hurt the pony if I did.

I don't think being told I was too fat to do anything or be anything as I aged ever inspired me to lose weight. I think it mostly just contributed to my poor self image which in turn led me to more emotional eating when I was growing up.

So true, but it doesn't have to be that way. I remember a story once where an obese guy couldn't fit into the chairs at Olive Garden. He called corporate and gave them hell. Later he thought about it and that incident inspired him to get healthy and lose weight. My point is that now they we are older we have a choice...to let things get us down or inspire us.

You hit that one on the head FRY120. It is all about the choices we make. And not just about food and exercise but about every aspect of our lives.
