Someone posted this link and I thought it was worth passing it on. It is an amazing perspective of body weight, self image and fitness from a young woman who has been through many stages and changes in her life and came to the conclusion that "STRONG IS THE NEW SKINNY"

I agree that we should be teaching our children these lessons when they are young and impressionable. Maybe we can stop the need-to-be-skinny cycle society drills into their heads.

I have recently changed my goals from weight loss, to weight lifting and training. Stories like hers only confirms that I have made a good choice. I hope you get as much out of this as I did!!

    Like men, women look best when they are toned and in shape.
