Healthy Weight Loss

I am not offended. I came here after reading the talking to each other thread, and wanted to re read my post....as I felt I needed to be called out....as I realized (twice now) I have offended, without meaning to.

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.

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!

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!

Zimmy
