Weighty Perspective

One of the most memorable visits to a physician I ever had was because of a nurse. She weighed me, then glanced at me out the side of her eyes, so fast I almost didn't notice, and shook her head. "I remember when I weighed that. I thought I was huge. Now I'd give anything to be that small again."

I've gained weight since then, and I see her point. I guess how a person feels about his weight depends on if he's come up to it or gone down to it.
