My mother was very overweight all of her life -- I'm really built much more
like my father and his side of the family.  I've been slim almost all of my
life -- just the last few years (i know it's a cliche, but since getting
married), I've gained some weight and fat.  My job is very sedentary, and I
got into the terrible habit of eating too much sugar/starch.  But I am
determined and motiviated to get myself in better shape than ever.
