October is National Anti-Bullying Month
I know we talk about this endlessly and I am sure to see "beating a dead horse" memes on this thread, but I am tired of people (women, in particular) belittling each other for their size. I find MyFitnessPal overall to be a great support site for healthy living...but it seems we still have this need to hurt one another with our words. You can be proud of who you are, what you look like, what your shape is, WITHOUT belittling or insulting someone else. I am trying to live positively and share that with others...so in light of many recent forum threads about whether guys like "curvy" vs. "stick figure" women (paraphrasing) that become nothing but a forum for namecalling and unkindness towards anyone "different:"

OK, let's fix that...EVERY month should be anti-bullying month.
And maybe we can have Halloween every month too...I like chocolate. And my birthday's the day after Halloween...I was almost a Halloween baby. Maybe that's why I adore chocolate so much?
