Default Re: Fat Acceptance

I feel I have a unique perspective on this as I've been on both sides.

I used to be stick insect thin but years of oral steroids (chronic asthma) have changed that. I would never consider myself healthy and fat. However, I don't think being too thin is healthy either.

I would like to see insurance companies impose the same restrictions on underweight (size 0 types) who also have health issues.
