Up, down and all around!

Hi, remember me? Wow, it has been a looooong time since I posted here. Not that I have been silent. But I haven't blogged in a while. I am living large and as always, it is interesting. I am surprised at the number of people who criticize my weight while encouraging me to make poor choices. I am referring to the food pushers at work, the "helpful" relatives who want you to eat, but say things like: "I am just concerned for your health" When you take steps to be healthy, those same people want you to just accept who you are. Hmm, I think that either they need to make up their minds, or I should stop letting their opinions matter. Besides the social side of fat, some of the things on my mind: an airline who would like to charge more overweight or obese customers (Samoan air) How healthcare reform will effect overweight people who can currently be denied coverage because of their weight, even without other pre-existing conditions. I'll be back soon with some thoughts and with an update on my journey to get healthy!
