I thought she was so honest and it actually brought tears to my eyes.  I must confess I always look at parents with children that are overweight in  a bad way.  I am still "fat" I am still obese.  I was a fat kid myself.  It really weighs heavy on my heart when I see this overweight children and their parents are feeding them icecream and chips and cookies.  I have to hope that they have no idea what they are doing to their children. If they did they would not do it.  I have 9 children, none of them but one is a *****unky.  She is still a baby, but honestly I worry about her everyday. All my kids exersize a lot, even my little chunky munky.  I make sure that they do and I make sure it is fun for them.  So I guess as much as I hate to say it I am judgemental twords these parents and can understand how the woman in the article feel.s  Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing this.. I have been in situations like that as well..  both as the 'skinny insider' (where I didn't stay silent) AND as the target of derision from some still MO women telling me that I can't ever know how hard their lives are being a big person in a little person's world.

I see you live in Chula Vista.. and had the fabulous Dr. Mueller as your surgeon..  I grew up in Chula Vista.. and also had the fabo Dr. Mueller change my life.. 

:-)

Hey Lynnda - it was good meeting you in October at the San  Diego lunch . . .I didn't realize at the time that you had Dr. Mueller too!  I get to go see him on Wednesday for my 1 year checkup!  My how time files!

You know.. I thought that we had met at the lunch but I wasn't sure.. I looked at your pictures and read your profile but thought that somehow you living in Chula Vista AND having Dr. Mueller would have come up..  Guess it didn't!  :-)  Say hi to him for me.  I am sure he sees so many people he won't have a clue who I am. 

Congrats on one year!
