Words are inadequate

I'll never understand why people get so hung up on the health-related and aesthetic aspects of body size/composition, when to me it is almost exclusively a matter of range of motion and functionality. If someone has the urge to climb a tree, explore a cave, or sprint across a field, I think it's sad that one might be prevented from doing so because of excess body mass.

I've never been heavy, but in the last few years I've developed a great deal of strength and flexibility that I had never had before, and I would be miserable to return to my less functional self. I would feel imprisoned in my body.
