Healthy Weight Loss

[nycfem]

Thanks, Yellow Band. You've gone out of your way to help me with my health over the years, and that is truly the best gift anyone can give someone else. I admire your success and commitment. I truly haven't encountered anyone with as much passion for health and wisdom in this area as you have. As for discrimination towards smaller people, I try as much as I can to be more inclusive by using "size positive" instead of "fat positive." That's something I learned from our BF community!

For that, I am truely sorry. Please accept MY appologies. Having been on the end of the LARGE jokes, I know what that feels like, and I don't go there, but you are right, it is sort of like rubbing ones nose in especially when I use quotation marks.

Ahh, this is that fine line I precariously walk...all the time. Where I get preachy. I purposely refrained from quotaion marks for fear of offending someone. There is nothing worse than a recovered anything.

I'll appologize once more, and tell you something I told June yesterday. Being small comes with unpleasant names too. Ask anyone who is small.

Love this part of a quote from the movie Spanglish, I took out part of it because it compares cultures and that is not what I want to share..but love this:

"...everything associated with being curvaceous: such as wantoness, lustfulness, sex, food, motherhood; all that is best in life."

Good Evening Everyone,

I didn't get a chance to go power walking yesterday due to my hectic schedule. I am not able to go tonight either due to the rain and my exhaustion from yesterday...Tomorrow, I am going to hit the sidewalk and not come back for atleast 1.5 hours or until my knee gives...

Have a great night!
