Well, I do believe that it is very important to feel comfortable {and very comfortable} in your own skin.<br />"Thin" might be trendy but is it really happy?<br />The most important thing is to be yourself.

One thing I know and am so glad to UNDERSTAND IT, is that humanity makes cultures, cultures impose rules and opinions. But thank GOD what He asks of us is far more important: To love one another - just the way we are.<br /><br />Love to you, Karen!<br /><br />AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-91738749188655614582013-03-02T05:56:16.232-05:002013-03-02T05:56:16.232-05:00From one PPW to another, Thankyou!From one PPW to another, Thankyou!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778709902157945708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-8365018694199575332013-03-01T23:54:19.701-05:002013-03-01T23:54:19.701-05:00Well said.

It certainly does get harder to keep the weight down as you get older, doesn't it.Grace @ Sense and Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185222544452668586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-14064784661950451842013-03-01T22:52:58.188-05:002013-03-01T22:52:58.188-05:00Well this pleasantly plump gal enjoyed this post a...Well this pleasantly plump gal enjoyed this post a lot. And those young doctors who start in on such condemnations could send a lesser gal on an eating binge. I hope that they received a withering look at the very least. Someone needs to enlighten them. One of my friends, also pleasantly plump, went on a diet and reached goal. Her young children wouldn't give her hugs or sit on her lap. She wondered why. They told her. It hurt them too much. Ha! Apparently, they preferred the padding, too.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-69728263156887435322013-03-01T21:11:20.162-05:002013-03-01T21:11:20.162-05:00Great post!

I don't consider myself old or out of shape but I'm not tiny like I was when I was younger. It's all about being healthy...and I do mean ALL! That's the most important thing! And we can be healthy at different ranges of weight. We need to be thankful for our good health and not stress over anything. It's nice to speak out about our age...weight AND health! We need to be thankful and happy for our lives!
