Throughout my life when profound events happen, my eyes seem to become recalibrated.

When my wife became pregnant, whenever we went shopping, we would see every pregnant lady in the store.

When we had a newborn baby, our sights locked onto every baby we came across. They just stood out among the crowd.

Now that I have lost a lot of weight, my wife and I automatically notice every overweight person that crosses our path.

Does anyone else notice this? It sort of brings home the point that there is an obesity epidemic in our society.

I work at a convenient store and lately have really noticed what people are buying and who is buying what. I find myself thinking "Do you really want to buy that?"

Yes, I have wondered why I notice this more frequently than before.
