weihht loss and attraction

Good morning....I want to expand on our topic yesterday and also direct you to the "anonymous" comment posted yesterday that was aslo very interesting.

About a year ago, I had a patient who trains physicians on certain x-ray machines tell me an interesting story. She said that when she was markedly overweight, the phssicians in the training roon would be poorly attentive to her lecture. She could tells that eyes were not on her, but rather their watches, out the window, etc. When she lost her 60 pounds, wearing nice dresses and such, she said the doctors couldnt keep their eyes off of her...she could tell there was a complete change in the "attention factor"..

This is not fair, it is not right, it is "old school" for people to be judged or attneded to when they look more fit or more appealing....but it is reality. People are driven more to people who aesthetically look good. Whether it be chemical or a learned behavior, people in shape and looking good will attract more attention.

Yes, we want to lose weight to be healthier, but yet the above does provide another good reason...not fair per se, but reality. Your thoughts?
