I was looking at people as I waited in line at the check out counter. Their were all shapes and sizes, young and old, families joking with each other and others just waiting in line with a brave face, as they usually do?during this?part of their weekly pastime. My interest in looking deeper comes from realizing that we are all so unique. No two people on earth are exactly the same. My research on obesity has given me a new perspective of the human species that I had never appreciated before, our uniqueness.

Then I saw her, she was in line #12, waiting just like everyone else. She was in her mid-thirties, alone and at least 100 pounds overweight. Her basket was full of the type of foods that obese people eat, fatty, starchy, sodas and more that I have been use to seeing by now, but that is not what got my attention. It was her eyes, they seemed so deep in her head as though they just wanted to hide. At the same time I could sense the despair in her look. She was talking with her eyes and her message was loud and clear. Help me, was the out cry from deep inside her body. I could feel how alone she felt, yes their were vibrations coming from her body that were just in the air, as though she was hoping that someone would help her.

During this time an older women tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if the flax seed my wife and I were buying was as good for your health as what she had heard. I then went about telling her all the benefits and as I turned to see the eyes from my stranger on aisle # 12, she was gone, yes my mystery woman had just vanished. Was she really there? Was she just meant to be there at that time, just for me to see?

I will never forget those eyes. As I continue my journey into the obesity world I ask you to look with me, look and see if you can spot her next time you stand in line. Many people make fun of “fat people”, look in their eyes and see if you can feel?the fear that is deep inside as I have. I will never forget that look. Food for thought.
