weight

my existence has always been defined by my weight-- at least according to people i know here. every time they see me, there's always a comparison of how fat or skinny i've gotten. it's the first thing people say.... "wow, you've LOST weight!" what about, "i haven't seen you in such a long time! it's great to see you!"

growing up, i've always been compared to my cousins in height and weight.

i admit that i've become a little self-obsessed w/ weighing myself too often... seeing how many tenths of a pound i've lost or gained.

it's time these comparisons stopped.
