One of the best lines I ever heard on a Friends episode was when the janitor, Mr. Treeger, says, "I'm just a big potato with arms, and legs, and a head." As I've put on weight, it's all seemed to congregate in the area of my midsection. Unfairly, I don't have very big arms or legs, so I've started referring to myself as a potato too. I'm skinny and fat in all the wrong places. But, you know, even though I make fun of the way I look, and I certainly am not satisfied with leaving it the way it is, I still think it's important to like who you are inside. Your looks are only part of who you are. You have to embrace the potato inside the peel. Whether you're a skinny French Fry, an irregular Sweet Potato, or just a round Golden Russet; you have to learn to love what makes you who you are. You're a potato, and no matter how you change yourself, you'll still be a potato.
