Obesity Survivor

I heard the term "Obesity Survivor" this week on the Biggest Loser. I really don't like the term at all. I don't always want to be known as an Obesity Survivor. It sounds like I had a terminal illness that I had no control over. Yeah, it would be nice to say and believe that I had no control over my weight but it would be a lie. I have always had control over my weight. I have always had control over what I put in my mouth. So I haven't always made the best choices. That doesn't mean that I have/had some termial illness that I couldn't do anything about. Ugh, I really hate that term.
