Gail, I and most other guys really don't have a choice here; it's the way
the world is.  Either I could try to rail against it (sorta like trying
yell at the sky to stop a rain storm) or I can adapt to this.  The up
side is that at least this is something I can change with a judicial bit
of hard work and smart investing.  I think it's much tougher on women
because they're judged more on their physical appearance -- which is
*much* harder to improve.

Gail this is just the way the world is (you know this -- that's why you
lost the weight in the first place!)  Ya just gotta accentuate your strengths
to overcome your weaknesses.  If you're a bit over-weight and just can't
keep the pounds off, develope an outgoing friendly personality and increase
your financial status to compensate.  If I was given the choice of a
poor, great looking bimbo or a *slightly* overweight, outgoing, financially
secure woman, I'd chose the latter.
