Yes Jim, being happy in yourself - that is what matters. I know we all want to be slimmer to look better etc.. but it is the feeling better that really matters. I know I will look nicer when I have lost some weight but it's feeling less tired and more fit that I really want. I am a happy person and although my weight gets me down at times, i know that it is just a part of me, something that over time I can improve on.
