No and don't call me Shirley! Ask me, I'm living proof. The heart has to work extra, just like a person with any larger body mass, therefore the heart muscle adds to itself to handle the additional work load.

Maybe so..but...like I said, I am NOT a doctor nor do I pretend to be.

However.... I refuse to believe that being over weight is the same health risk as a persons height. There is just something wrong with that logic.

A persons height is predetermined and there is NOTHING that can be done to change that....A persons weight is partly genetic and partly other factors including life choices. There ARE things that can be done to change a persons weight.

I just recently had this discussion with a friend...Anybody that is 5' 9" and weighs 350 pounds should seriously look at a lifestyle change. I don't care what you say...that is NOT healthy.

I am glad that you are living proof, but I also hope that you continue to be living proof.

It's a small point, and I don't have a degree in it either, but, it seems to me that people that are excessively tall have had shortened lives because of it. Just because one has a larger heart doesn't mean that it is stronger and therefore be a healthier outlook.

I might take this opportunity to clarify. I don't think it is healthy to be overweight, I just think that the public has gone ape crap obsessed over how lowly a "fat" person is. I am overweight (if you hadn't already figured that out), I am by doctors considered to be Morbidly Obese. That title is a very big umbrella and covers anyone 50 pounds overweight to some that are 500 or 600 or more overweight. It is sad that those that have a metabolism that allow them to stay thin feel the need to pat themselves on the back and take full credit for their condition when in reality, they might possibly need to be thanking their parents for the genes that made that possible. It is time to stop all this crap about overweight, underweight or whatever physical flaw someone wants to focus in on and see the person for what and who they are. I have had a successful career, raised two wonderful children enjoy my grandchildren, play golf, and walk, in spite of a mild battle with arthritis, when I'm in a Disney Park. Some list of definitions in a medical book may classify me as Morbidly Obese, but I will assure you that there is nothing "morbid" about me.

I will be 66 years old this year. I have attended the funerals of many of my cousins and friends, both younger and slightly older and some even considered to be a perfect weight. I am at an age where hearts give out after years of steadily pumping away. This happens to the short, tall, fat and thin. You don't get out of this place alive.

Just as a side note...I was first diagnosed as Morbidly Obese when I was 19 years old and getting a physical and shots for a college sponsored tour of Europe. I had never heard it before, but, I instantly knew that it was an over-hyped word, that meant very little. After that I went through an intensive weight loss and physical conditioning sponsored by the US Air Force. In spite of being "morbid", at 21 years old, I survived a regiment that would have sent a lot of "appropriate" weight people whimpering to their mommy's. Lost 95 pounds in 7 weeks. Take that heart muscle!!! (BTW, I realize that regiment would kill me instantly now) I am a Vietnam Veteran, have owned my own business, have managed to keep my family close and am mule headed and stubborn when it comes to protecting my family. I never became President of the United States, but I can live with that easily and I will be damned if some snot nosed skinny person as going to look down on me because I don't fit in with their idea of beauty. Also, just for the information. I have been in an emergency room once in my life about 4 years ago when I missed a bottom step on a long staircase and did some damage to my leg. That is it. Other then elective (i.e. carpel tunnel and wisdom tooth removal) surgery I have never even had any physical, life threatening problems. I hardly even ever have a cold. (I'm human so I do get viruses)

Sorry to go on and on, I'll stop now, I've had my say. Let's move on with the thread, whatever, that was about.

I got it... they also put arrows pointed upward with big letters that say UP! That's for stupid people. To make it complete they also have some that point downward and say DOWN. :joyfull:
