Words of wisdom from an old farmer (married 60 years).
Marry a thin girl and ten years later you have a wife twice the weight and six to eight kids. If that is not good economics than what is, especially in todays economy.
Just imagine my disappointment if I married a nice Zoftig lady and in ten years she was only half the weight. Who’s gonna reimburse me for my loss?
Now, for truth. My loving tolerant wife tells me were only married 30 years. (it just seems like 60)
What is more important then to a Kallah-Moid? Overeating or finding her Zivug?
Face it, there is an extreme shortage of Bochurim who are looking for pleasingly plump girls. (Half of which are obese)
Hashem gave girls the ability to make themselves attractive and he made men to appreciate this. Somethings we can not correct but this is one area we have some control over. I know many men and women, singles who are waiting around for someone to “appreciate me like I am”. It is a long wait and the bus is leaving, or already left.
So just keep drinking your diet cokes and see how much it helps.
With real love and compassion,
