I love this blog

http://danceswithfat.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/im-not-suffering-from-obesity/

I love seeing this in my inbox. I'm not always with her 100% - there are things that are too radical for me. (I know, crazy, huh?)

But this one is right one. Especially given my recently coming to terms with having a doctor who will really listen. Like to me about stuff that isn't about my weight.

HA! I have a BBW female friend who does karate 3x a week and other exercises every day (sometimes bike-riding, etc). She is in absolutely marvelous shape and has the strength of an ox...I'm not kidding when I say she could break a person in half who tried to call her "obese" if that's what she wanted to do.

But...she's had the same issues with doctors calling her "unhealthy" simply because she's not thin. I had to laugh at that, and I told her she needs another doctor.
