Gene,
Although I am not a heavy-set person and can’t relate to what you are saying, I want to thank you for this blog.
I am a Type I and I guess I’ve never thought that not all Type Is are slim and not all Type IIs are heavy.
I am thanking you for making me challenge my thoughts and preconceived notions and altering my thinking some.
I am sure you will overcome your battles with your weight in time. Good luck to you.
