That's sort of what I thought you meant, krisk. I'm just not all that touchy about being a few stone over my "desired" weight.
Actually, my weight has been all over the damn map. As an adult (I think I was at my heaviest when I was about 17 or 18), I have been as thin as 103 pounds (I'm 5 foot 7 inches) and as heavy as 189 pounds.
Lost most of my weight when I left home (and got away from my mother's good cooking), and started living off of potato chips and soda pop. My weight was probably at its peak right before I left for Europe (in 1969).
Even at 189, I guess I didn't look all that big, since when I went to my ten year reunion (and weighed 120) no one freaking noticed that I had lost 69 pounds!!! It turns out that no one ever noticed what I weighed. All that teenage angst for nothing.
