The last 10

Its now that I hear the voices. The "well intentioned" ones- the ones trying to tell me I'm fat. From the unknown lady at my cousin's wedding when I was 14 "Oh, wow! You're really doing a good job on those pancakes. I can only eat three of the little silver dollar ones." And the two girls in line behind me in the deli back in college. The ( Read more... )

Well, screw those voices. I think you look fantastic! I mean, even my mom didn't recognize you! You're definitely more healthier than me, anyway, and I think everyone's entitled to a treat every now and then. And who can pass up cheese?

P.S. Is Willow Street Yoga any good? I'm debating that or the one in Dupont (the hot yoga one).

I love Willow Street! I haven't tried hot yoga but then I sweat enough in the regular yoga. There are free classes September 11-17 at Willow Street. If you would like to I'm going to a free class on the 15 at the Takoma Park studio and it would be great if you wanted to come too.

The 15th, eh? Let me request that day off at work and maybe I'll go!

The free class on the 15 starts at 5:45 and lasts until about 7 if that makes any difference in your schedule. Yay yoga!!

The voices don't know you, or anything worth knowing about anything at all.

Try to listen to the other voice, the one that does know, that knows you're strong and beautiful (and that you deserve to eat food that gives you pleasure sometimes without feeling guilty about it). Don't let the fools drown it out with bullshit.

Yeah I know, well I know most of the time. And I kind of wish I said something to them back then about it but oh well.

Those kind of stupid people aren't worth your time, not 10 years ago and not in college and not now either. People like that make comments to put others down, nothing else. So screw 'em. Don't feel dejected - feel proud of what you've accomplished! And trust me, sweetie, you aren't unattractive. Hell I wish I'd look as good in some of your clothes!
