While I would not consider or refer to a friend who is the same height/weight as I am @ any given moment as a "fat cow"....
no matter where I'm at, I still can view myself that way.......
and I'm beginning to understand how I personally help perpetuate this CRAZY MENTALITY OF what's *acceptable* and what isn't........
for EVERY TIME we refer to weighing ____lbs (fill in a number) as being "FAT" .... ..............
What are we saying to EVERY one of our friends who weigh MORE than that number ???
Just a challenge to myself and to others- THINK about how our own self- loathing affects those we're seeking to encourage. .
