It's a tough one though. We want to support each other, but at what point do you need to start pulling out the tough love approach? I have started to warm up to the Jillian Michael's approach lately. Scary, I know, but I'd rather have someone think I was a nasty person than live with the guilt of knowing I stood by and let someone I care about hurt themself.karen@fitnessjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161983893717225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-36529311191004475962010-05-21T09:21:00.535-06:002010-05-21T09:21:00.535-06:00you can make people think!

If someone had told me I was in some way failing my kids I'da punched em square in the gob though. lol.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708815560712267698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-3972084562631064652010-05-20T20:52:34.557-06:002010-05-20T20:52:34.557-06:00*was on the train. not rain.*was on the train. not rain.Alexia https://www.blogger.com/profile/08277029553868903502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-21785047134854540852010-05-20T20:50:56.444-06:002010-05-20T20:50:56.444-06:00i've never heard anyone speak for cocaine or h...i've never heard anyone speak for cocaine or heavy alcoholic beverage use. yet people advocate fat acceptance?! it's ridiculous. today, i was on the rain and i saw a very large woman with a very large child. it made me very sad because the very young child's health is already compromised. for many families, just the fact that the parent is okay with being morbidly obese causes the child to hold that same view. i think that as parents, sisters, brothers, lovers, whatever, we are responsible to love and to take care of each other. i could understand someone arguing for 'a huge mole on my face and i'm not surgically removing it' acceptance. but when being morbidly obese causes a host of illness and makes life even more difficult, why ever would anyone accept it? last year, i was seriously ill, like dying, because i was severely anemic. all because because my fat messed up my hormones. it's not worth it. no one deserves to have their life shortened or to have to endure terrible diseases. fat acceptance is the worst idea i've ever heard. period.Alexia https://www.blogger.com/profile/08277029553868903502noreply@blogger.com
