My mother put me on a diet when I was 8, and I've been at war with food and my body ever since. I started working out about 8 or 9 years ago, and it really helps. It's not MIRACULOUS like we see on TV. But I keep working my workouts, love myself more, set a better example for my kids, put on my music and get myself moving. I coach my clients to love themselves, as they are, without reservation. Fitness, weight-loss, health -- it's all a mirage if you're dying inside. So I say, love your life, do your best, and if you like your treats, do the workout first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-13381178396999660402008-12-21T11:54:00.000-06:002008-12-21T11:54:00.000-06:00Hello-I just found your blog and it's amazing!

About three months ago, I declared a cease fire - I am sick and tired of starving and excercising myself to exhaustion to fit someone else's idea of what is ideal for a woman. I started to listen to my own body and feed it nutritious foods. I threw away the measuring spoons and food scales and allowed my body to tell me when it had enough to eat. The result, I have lost 15 pounds without really trying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-68770490586118900312008-12-19T08:58:00.000-06:002008-12-19T08:58:00.000-06:00Since a lot of people think of Oprah as a role mod...Since a lot of people think of Oprah as a role model, it's a great thing that she admitted she has put on weight... it'll take all the attention away from the skinny bitches :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-30799262539252600042008-12-19T08:14:00.000-06:002008-12-19T08:14:00.000-06:00Just how much money and power does a woman need to...Just how much money and power does a woman need to have before she stops needing to publicly apologize for her body? <BR/><BR/>Guess we'll never know.<BR/><BR/>Can you even imagine something like this from a male celebrity?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-43547759213897550912008-12-18T12:54:00.000-06:002008-12-18T12:54:00.000-06:00Once again your right on the mark Shark Fu!I have ...Once again your right on the mark Shark Fu!<BR/><BR/>I have lost quite a bit of weight lately for health reasons..my three blown discs in my lumbar region.

In it was a comparison of two computer generated images. One was of a woman of mesomorphic frame contoured according to standard distributions of muscle and fat for a healthy adult. The other was an average of currently popular runway models. Shall we say the reality and the fantasy were 'divergent'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-60955130541895730352008-12-18T06:52:00.000-06:002008-12-18T06:52:00.000-06:00Its often sad how folks allow themselves to be per...Its often sad how folks allow themselves to be persuaded into believing what weight they should be.

And, all the sheep that follow ANYONE without thinking, should check themselves. What I think of when I think of Oprah is here's a woman who dares to make some bold moves and seems to move on - except for this issue. Not everything she does is a success, but she keeps trying. THAT is hard - especially in front of everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-90798145430927745772008-12-17T19:49:00.000-06:002008-12-17T19:49:00.000-06:00My new favorite Blog?

I starved myself to the size I thought he'd like, but still got no love. A good friend pointed out that in his desire to change my body, he was dishonoring my lineage -- all the women who came before me. I ditched that motherfucker, and have honored my body in all of its lovely variety ever since.<BR/>-- ShellyShelly Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630539931226118513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-85448896954245849372008-12-17T13:15:00.000-06:002008-12-17T13:15:00.000-06:00I did see the episode and read the article and it ...I did see the episode and read the article and it was more about how she always bragged when she lost the weight and she felt she should be honest when she gained it to. She said taht the weight is no longer her main focus, her health is and she'll be judging that be her blood sugar, cholesterol, etc and by how she feels. <BR/><BR/>I thought it was a pretty good acknowlegdement for everone who has 'fallen off the wagon' in any sense. It was more about not letting the fact that you messed up make you stop and lead you to failure. <BR/><BR/>Of course, the media made it all about her weight.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900726730265994177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-55593548473303196232008-12-17T12:20:00.000-06:002008-12-17T12:20:00.000-06:00U got a choice in life: either learn how to forgiv...U got a choice in life: either learn how to forgive yourself or learn to forgive others...a b...slap to anyone that hangs on weight factor & doesn't see heart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-36512215563665687272008-12-17T11:52:00.000-06:002008-12-17T11:52:00.000-06:00Healthy and happy is the keyword!
