OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!


Have you heard these words lately ? Perhaps they were hurled at you by schoolmates . . .

Or by strangers on the street . . .

Or by your mother . . .

Or by your husband or wife . . .

Or . . . by yourself . . .


Would you hold still for one moment while someone used these words to hurt your best friend?

Your mother?

Your child?

Your husband or wife?

A stranger on the street?


If you are looking at this page,you are interested in size acceptance . . .

Perhaps you are curious about this increasingly popular trend . . .

Perhaps your friend, husband or wife, or child is larger than the "norm" . . .

Perhaps YOU are larger than the "norm" . . .

Perhaps you have been caught in the "diet cycle" for a long, long time . . .


Perhaps you have used the hurtful words above to your friend, or your child, or your husband or wife . . .

Perhaps you have used them to yourself . . .

And perhaps you've just gotten tired of it, and are ready to consider another possibility . . .


So let's talk! But first, let me tell you a few things about myself:

I am not a doctor, dietician, or psychiatrist . . .

I am not an "expert" . . .

I am not pushing a diet product or self-help book . . .

I am a person who is larger than the "norm". . .

I am increasingly dismayed by the images of "beauty" that are presented to us by the media and the fashion industry, and by the lengths to which people will go to try to attain the goal of looking like these images . . .

I've learned a few things about size, health and acceptance in thirty-nine years, and am still learning . . .

And I'd like to share some things with you . . .


SO!

Let us forge onward!
