My fri...I am in love with this post.<br /><br />you go girl!<br /><br />My friend linked your post to her fb. I am glad she did. <br /><br />I am a thyroid cancer survivor and darn that thyroid for not working right! It is a tough row to hoe. Just keep swimming.

It's so important.<br />I think there are so many reasons why most people stuggle w/ weight. 1- our lifestyles have changed in this rush rush world and grab and go food has become so convenient. Unfortunately the already prepared, microwave food or fast food is packed w/ artificial colors, flavors, chemicals, synthetics, hormones, antibiotics etc. etc. that our bodies don't know what to do w/ them. So it stores them away in fat cells in order to protect our organs. 2- Our work, commute, TV and other things have kept us from going outside to run or walk or hike or bike. 3-Yes, our experiences affect our eating. Comfort food to the rescue right! 4- Medicines or conditions cause weight gain as well. They are another synthetic thing w/out a DNA that the body cannot process. 5-I think is the most immportant that you said, Our self image and the way we think about ourselves. We need to be more careful about how we talk to ourselves and view ourselves so we can care more about how we treat ourselves. It's such a battle. But you are amazing in taking on the challenge to win the fight. I have those pivital moments stuck in my brain when someone said something about my weight and it has shaped my self image. It's really hard to shape it back. The funny thing is, I see pics of me at that time and I wasn't fat! Btu I sure felt fat. I wish that time wasn't wasted feeling bad about myself just because someone else said something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039997392723426887.post-15497741687326778722013-04-11T05:25:58.254-07:002013-04-11T05:25:58.254-07:00Well said, Leslie.

But the real truth is that we are all alive in the bodies we have for a purpose. I know I am not taking care of this precious gift the way I should. Your example is awesome and I'm touched by the tough choices you are making and the success you are seeing. But nothing you do to change your outer self will ever stop me from seeing the Leslie I know: A beautiful woman inside and out who loves family fiercely and defends friends loyally and cares oh so much about being kind and lifting others and serving and sharing and making the world smile. <br /><br />I suspect the last bias the world is holding onto appears to be the bias against overweight. And yet so much of our population is dealing with it. This is one epidemic I really wish I wasn't part of, but fighting my set point and saying no to my cravings and finding time to exercise these flabby muscles are challenges I am not meeting. So people who see me don't really see me anymore. Maybe they never did. If we could only see people as they really are and not look at the way their skin shapes around their body, we would view the world in a very different way. Everyone would glow, everyone would be just perfect in our eyes. I'm trying to look through those glasses.Julie Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537558866433902486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039997392723426887.post-13434015678148676062013-04-09T23:02:20.582-07:002013-04-09T23:02:20.582-07:00One of the best comebacks I ever heard came from V...One of the best comebacks I ever heard came from Vikki. Someone called her lard ass or fatso or something like that, and she looked at them scathingly and said "I can fix that, but you can't fix stupid and ignorant". BEST LINE EVER! and its true, too. ignorant fools will always do and say the wrong thing. i love you leslie lou.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829118361393558562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039997392723426887.post-14321192508171911682013-04-09T20:14:58.298-07:002013-04-09T20:14:58.298-07:00Although nobody wants to be overweight, I think un...Although nobody wants to be overweight, I think unkind is worse than overweight. If I have to choose (hopefully I don't) between being skinny and being a GOOD, decent person I would choose good any day of the week.

I'm starting to believe that our bodies want to be healthy and thin - what we do to them prevents them from functioning at their best. <br /><br />I'm also so happy technology allows us to make connections that would otherwise be lost over time. Funny how we have so much in common, huh?Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632281108444072243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039997392723426887.post-63060928726836752572013-04-09T10:37:38.640-07:002013-04-09T10:37:38.640-07:00WOW.

But how well will we survive if we eat poorly. Now not only am I gluten free, and oat free from the gliadin says my chiro, I'm trying diary free too. I miss cheese. I know you miss your foods too. =( But it's for the better that we try to eat foods that our bodies want. Gotta tell that to ourselves when times get tough. <br /><br />But I think you are wonderful! And I enjoy our friendship and am thankful you seem to enjoy being friends with me too. You're bright. You're fun. And you're beautiful..well maybe not on the insides. Let's clean that inflammation up. =) Tam Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000413071301529274noreply@blogger.com
