Not trying to "rock the boat" just wanted to say: Obesity does not always mean a shorter lifespan. My aunt who was the same size as myself (who also had diabeties) lived to be 89 years old. I am a 315 pound diabetic who takes care of herself and who fully intends to not only meet her grandchildren, but her great granchildren as well.
