"My grandfather didn't gain weight until he was seventy. He's eighty now and has a gut. He and my grandma have this reoccurring joke where she tells him he needs to lose weight, and he just pats his gut and says, 'Why would I want to lose this? It took me ten years to get this.' Then they laugh and laugh. I guess anything's funny past eighty four."

"Each body is different. Nobody but your body can tell you if you should be different or lose weight. You'd feel bad if your body feels bad. Feeling bad would, hopefully, trigger a natural response to diet. The only way to maintain a healthy weight is to eat plenty of carrots." "Huh?"
