Those who are relatively fit, or perhaps even somewhat overweight but not to the extent that routine, daily activities such as grooming and hygiene are affected by the excess weight, have more than likely never so much as stopped to ponder how those of us who are a bit larger than the average bear go about their daily activities. This is particularly true of those activities about which most of us prefer not to think about at all — even when in regards to only ourselves.
