Burken-outa-stock, if you’re lucky...

Seems to me, if you’re happy, you don’t have to convince others you are. You just are, and folks know it.

I’ve been considerably overweight. five years ago I was pushing 250, and actually going over by a few pound inter-day.

I wasn’t pleased about it. I wasn’t trying to tell folks I was as happy as could be to be fat either.

Now that I weigh 55 pounds less (195), I feel so much better.

When someone tells me they’re 5’ 4”, and weight 275+, I know they spend part of their time VERY uncomfortable.

I am troubled when I hear (mostly women) try to claim they have embraced their weight, and they love who they are.

I say love who you are, fine. Love yourself enough to give yourself the gift of weight loss.

When I weighed the most, I noticed that I had to take in a lot of calories just to maintain the extra weight. I was eating 3000+ calories a day, or I’d lose weight.

Folks don’t have to starve themselves to start losing weight. As you cut your meals back just a little, your stomach shrinks back in size a little. Then you can fill it easier.

At any rate, I want people to really feel as good as they can in their own skin. Makes me happy to see them happy.
