Weight

I don't like how young children are so obsessed with their weight. I really don't ever remember thinking I am fat or I need to lose weight or I need to work out...other than for the reason to keep my body healthy. Maybe it's because I am blessed with an amazing metabolism that allows me to not gain anything (I have been 115 lbs. and 5'7" since I was in grade 9), but there are some girls that, when with friends, will also comment on how they believe they are fat. At work, I overheard a few chubbier girls saying how they needed to lose weight and then the smallest girls at the table started saying how they also believed they weighed too much.

I really don't think there should be a guideline to how much you should weigh...if a person is eating healthy and able to do physical activity without a problem (not panting and running out of breath after 5 minutes)...then they should feel happy with where their weight is...and not worry about what the scale says.

I just think it's sad that anyone really worries about their weight....unless they really need to because it is putting their life in danger (by being too obese or something...).
