"As long as they're making it with their eyes open -- as long as they understand the costs and risks of fatness, and decide that they're willing to accept them -- then I support them." Maybe I'm just having a bad morning, but that sure does rub me the wrong way. Your body is your business. My body is my business. I do not need anyone's approval or disapproval to be fat. That's where the judgements creep in--I don't understand placing conditions on the acceptance of a person's size. What I don't understand is why anyone should care why I'm fat and that I am fat. So what?

I'm not fond of the word 'spirit', but how about Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree? Feliz Navidad?
