How would you like to be described?

I was just wondering...

After I get this thing implanted and I have some success how will strangers describe me? Now they probably say early to mid forties, tall, white and heavyset (if they are nice, other adjectives might be chubby, fat, huge, etc.).

I think I will be happy with tall, early forties (fat makes me look mid to late forties now) average :biggrin: build.

How about you?

Unfortunately no weight loss is going to make me any taller. :biggrin: So I'll probably always be described as short (5'7"). I think right now I'm probably described as a short massive whale.

I'd be happy to get to being just considered "average." I think my height is basically average, so it'd be nice for the weight to match that.

I've always been the 'big guy' in the room. Would like to get noticed for more than just my size. Some people like to put the word 'Big' in front of my name when they talk to me. I have been fat since my pre-teen years. Would be nice to be on the other side of that equation for a change. Just being considered 'normal size' would be great!!!
