Nor me, but then I don't claim this body to be the result of anything but luck.

Good point about the children. If my wife leads an unhealthy lifestyle, gains excessive weight, eats poorly, doesn't exercise etc, she is setting a poor example for my children. Moreover, a person "letting themselves go" is a symptom of deeper problems and an indicator of the person's state of mind.

This argument that women should be able to let themselves go to the point where their physical appearance is no longer appealing, yet men should be forced to stay in such a relationship is one that puts absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY on the woman to take care of herself. Why? Why does the woman have no responsibility what so ever?

Im surprised Adrain can bring himself to talk to fat people to find out, so just so he doesnt have to, let me save him the trouble and say that I'm 6ft and 230lbs, and its no-ones fault but my own. I dont exercise enough anymore and I like eating whatever I want.

Im not going to apologise for it, I havent appreciated anyone telling me how to live my life since I was a teenager.

My doctor rightly recommends more exercise and his PDA programs spits out a 4% chance of a heart attack in the next ten years or something. I can live with those odds. In Polynesia I'd probably be highly sought after.

I think there's a case that no maintenance is better than excessive maintenance, imagine waking up with Insect Spice.
