Vampire Girl......er Dork
By all standards I am obese. However, I am active, and I am strong. I am a Paramedic and have to be able to withstand long, critical situations, heavy lifting/carrying, etc. People don't think I weigh as much as I do. I guess I carry it well. Am I dieting... no... I am in the process of permanantly changing my eating habits... thus a better outcome than dieting. Am I working out? Yes. Am I still obese? Yes. Do I expect others to haul me out of the water if something happens to me? No, but I would hope that they give it a good shot. I am responsible for myself. I also like people to give me the benefit of the doubt when they look at me.
