Dear medical types,

When I say I eat a reasonably healthy diet and get reasonable amounts of exercise, please believe me.

I know what my weight would be like if I didn't exercise much, because I have my father as an example, and he makes me look slim.

And I know what I would look like if I didn't eat vegetables *or* exercise, because my uncle makes my father look slim.

Yes, I am obese.

I'm doing *really well* given my genetics, though.
