#3. How does your weight affect us? Sometimes we worry you won't be around as long as we'd like. Yes, if you hurt yourself dieting, that diet is totally wrong for you, but what about the theory of eating whatever you want AND exercising. I don't want you to exercise to "feel pretty", I just like you around.
And of course, I'll love you either way.
Now if only Martin would give me more than 4 compliments a YEAR (not exxagerating) then I might be able to feel pretty without dieting, too.....
He has a point, actually, as obesity rises so does the number of people diabetic and that can kill as well as lots of other nasty things. The diet I'm on is specifically to keep your blood sugar from spiking too much.
Actually, diabetes occurs just as often in thin people as it does in heavy-set people. :-) Lots of things can kill me. A mugger, lightning and penicillin could all take my life. My bus might careen off a cliff. Does that mean that I shouldn't ever take the bus again? Of course not. But I have as much of a chance of dying on a bus as I do of dying from any kind of complications due to my weight

While my dad's diabetes didn't set in til he gained a lot of weight, it's not necessarily the weight that brought it on. Maybe unlike what certain doctors claim or at least imply, it's the lack of health not the excess weight. It's my extreme lack of health for a while that caused certain symptoms of asthma and diabetes for me also. If I have/had diabetes, it's the not as common type where instead of avoiding sugar, sugar helps. Circumstantial evidence says that the reason I've felt extremely weak sometimes is when my blood sugar level gets too low. Interestingly, now that I'm exercising more, I don't feel weak and rarely get out of breath. Health is improving

The people who are skinny with diabetes tend to be more genetically likely to get it and it's generally a different type. Adult onset diabetes has been directly linked to obesity.
I'm not saying you're not healthy. I'm just saying there may be certain foods that may make you more likely to become diabetic if you eat them a lot.
HUGS! Once again, you've hit the nail on the head. If you're dieting for yourself for health and/or personal reasons then have at it. However, if you're dieting because someone made fun of you and/or told you that you'd be more attractive if you lost weight then tell that person where to go and what to do when they get there. The same goes for exercising. I have a stretching routine that I do. It's to help keep my laparotomy scar flexible. I actually enjoy it and I've found that these exercises have helped to keep me limber.
#2. I love the list.
