My employer is holding a "Largest Loser" challenge, company wide and I signed up. On my way out the door, my co worker stopped me and said "You aren't doing this, are you?" I said I was as she said "Don't you fall under the 'if you are a size 2, this program isn't for you' category?" I said no I do not, and while I should have been flattered, I felt slightly insulted. Just 2 lbs ago, my BMI showed that I was overweight. I do have almost 20 lbs to lose and I think this would be a great way to motivate and get some useful pointers. The more I think about it, though, I think it is all about perspective. My coworker is bigger than I am, so to her, I look skinny (or skinnier), however to someone who ways less than I do, I likely appear overweight. What I mean is, we tend to hold ourselves as the norm, so when someone looks different than you do, then they are skinny or they are fat. We all need to motivate and support eachother to reach our goals, regaurdless of how we view them and not make them feel badly because your oppinion may be different. This, of course is null and void if someone has an eating disorder or is medically under weight, but in general, I think this is a good rule of thumb.
