This is not a matter of  "thickness".
I'm simply overfat. And jiggly. There's a difference. I don't feel the
need
to  invoke thickness issues. I'm talking 30 (35?) pounds overweight,
not a
non-defined waist.

Not everybody who are looking to lose weight have body image issues. I
have
a pretty good body, all in all. Everything's big at the right place
and less
so at others. I just wish for better muscle definition and to be in
shape
enough not to huff and puff after a long flight of stairs.

Self-improvement doesn't need to stem from issues, simply the desire
to be
the best one can be, mentally and physically.
