jackofallgeeksI'm stunned. And this is going to be all sorts of shallow and I'm-a-horrible-person, but...
So, long story short, I've gotten in touch with a number of old friends through Facebook. It's a big part of why I like the place. But in the last couple weeks I've gotten in touch with a couple girls I used to be good friends with, and... To be blunt, holy shit, they put on A LOT of weight!
Now, I'm not the picture of health, or even dietary concern, myself. I weigh about 190lbs, but I'm also nearly 6ft tall. I'd like to get down to, say, 175 or so, but I don't think anyone would call me fat. There girls are fat, to the point where they look bloated or swollen. Their faces are familiar, but all wrong. And they were both small girls when I knew them. That was YEARS ago, like 5 and 6 years ago, but I just can't understand how someone can let themselves go like that.

This is, I tend to forget, one of those horribly taboo subjects that you can't talk about without upsetting people and being completely misread. See Jenny and Erin above, neither of whom I think are fat, but both of whom took exception to this admission.
Fact: I'm a superficial, elitist jerk.
