I think it's rather funny, actually! LOL! Maybe there is a certain amount of cynical amusement being put out there...........I'm talking about the Ghetto Prom...........after all, it's just like dressing up at Halloween or any other Masquerade party...........just offbeat fun.......(maybe I'm wrong) but, I wouldn't take it seriously................that said, being overweight is not healthy for anyone. That is what worries me, personally about all the weight I've gained. Obese people are more prone to heart attacks, etc...........I'm a walking time bomb, but, so far haven't been able to stick with an exercise program for more than one week...........it sucks being this heavy.........everything hurts all the time and even walking is tough.
