This is my current physical goal, to no longer be considered Obese. Obese is such an ugly word. The images that word conjures are of sloven people over indulging in every possible avenue of food and not caring about his or her appearance or health. Today, I am probably one of the healthiest obese people you will ever meet. I am not a diabetic, I do not have high blood pressure, I do not take any medications whatsoever on a regular basis to manage any chronic illness or for the prevention of a chronic illness.

We share whatever is on our heart and encourage one another in our messages. Well, I trust I am encouraging to her... she is SUPER SUPPORTIVE & ENCOURAGI...
