I've always found the height/weight thing unfair :-|

I was always thinner /weighed less than my elder sister - 2" taller than me.

I hit the menopause. We're both the same weight now, but she can sometimes wear clothes a size smaller than me
I look 'podgy' - she doesn't - and, nomatter how I try - even having D & V for a week - I can't lose weight. :-| :-P :-P :-P :-P

On the plus side, I don't appear to put it on either - just stay the same weight give or take 2lbs :-D

I can't help thinking it doesn't help when the item on the news about tackling obesity, with questions being answered by a WHO expert, was shown in split screen with images of glossy bars of chocolate in a chocolate factory :-0

Give the weaker willed amongst us a break! show a lettuce leaf and half a tomato instead?
