Hi Susan,
Yes I think it is unfortunate that many go by appearances. Perhaps it has to do with society's image of the "perfect man/woman." Everyday we are bombarded with super looking people in magazines, advertisements, tv shows and movies. It seems like if you are a guy you need to be 6'2" with bulging muscles and the girls need to be a size 5 and with a perfect tan. Maybe we have bought into Hollywoods image for to long. Actually, back in the Middle Ages, if a woman had a few extra pounds, she would be considered ideal. Well, just my thoughts. Glad you are feeling great though.
