Weight is just a number on the scale. If you're happy with the way you look and, more importantly, if you're in good health, then who cares what you weigh? Besides, weight is a misleading number since it tells nothing of what that weight is composed of.

Being healthy is a good thing, but I think as a culture we are obsessed with weight. I disagree with the joke at the beginning of the piece - I know many men who prefer women with some substance. Not all of us like the supermodel look.
