And what awesome friends I've acquired, including you. :D<br /><br />I think weight is a national issue and not just an individual pinpointing issue. I think even the smallest of individuals (I'm thinking models) see their physical attributes instead of their actual beauty.<br /><br />Until people are willing to see their physical health in general as the issue, weight loss/gain will become obsolete, just my opinion. :D<br /><br />Thank you for commenting. jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-63007378861262466772016-09-29T14:24:29.023-05:002016-09-29T14:24:29.023-05:00I grew up as a short, skinny girl.

I am not a consistent dieter. I eat what I want, when I want, and just try to keep the portion sizes small. Not really consistent with that either. :(. But despite my total lack of willpower, I know I am loved by my family and friends. Most of them don't mention my size. Many of them have their own health battles. I don't worry about what they are thinking. I've accepted that people will judge me for my weight. If they are that shallow, it is their problem, not mine.<br />Joni, what you weigh, how you eat, your exercise level...that's your business. I prefer to think of you as my inspirational, writing friend. And that's how I see you. Have a nice day.<br />DixieNurseArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722433622899562506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-15481943964794986392016-09-29T14:08:17.271-05:002016-09-29T14:08:17.271-05:00Love ya too!
