PreviewWords&ExpressionsText B Reading More In pictures from college I was thin.I worked full time,went to school full time,smoked,and lived off fast food and soft drinks.Friends say that I dont look like myself in those pictures.I looked ill,sad,and unhealthy.Para.1Heavy Body,Not Heavy HeartText BChineseChinese Now,at a weight considered to be dangerously high by medical charts,I live better than ever.I have given up smoking,and I eat a lot of vegetables;I enjoy walking,swimming and dancing classes.I exercise and eat well because I love living,not because I want to lose weight.My doctor tells me I am healthy,and this is much more important than being thin.Studies show that overweight people who exercise have a lower death rate than“normal”weight people who do not.Para.2Text BChineseChinese Negative attitudes toward fat people begin in childhood.One study showed that,as early as nursery school,children liked pictures of disabled children of similar ages better than those of fat children.Similarly,a study of college students said they would rather marry a drug user,a thief,or a blind person than someone who was fat.These attitudes create discrimination that affects fat people in every aspect of their lives,including money matters.In fact,overweight,white women usually earn less than thin,white women24 percent less,according to one study.Para.3Text BChineseChinese People

at an amazing failure rate95 percent get back what theyve lost within two to five years.The often-heard comment of“you have such a pretty face”does not please me because of all thats not said:“If youd just lose the weight youd be beautiful.”Beauty is a taught concept and the cultural standards for beauty change constantly.Para.5&6Text BChineseChinese Later in life,I was happy to learn that some cultures have very different standards of beauty.While I was visiting the British Virgin Islands,a local man invited me to be in a picture with him on the beach.I asked,“Why me?There are women who look like models here.”“Bones are for dogs,”he said with a smile.“Meat is for men.”Para.7&8Text BChineseChineseMeaning:Although we are overweight,we are healthy and happy.1Heavy Body,Not Heavy
