But it can't hurt anything and it's free, which makes it better than 98% of weight loss tips out there. I suspect it’s a load of horse feathers, Redbook Magazine notwithstanding.

There has been some reporting of this in Redbook Magazine, I believe, though I would research the journals to find the more "respectable" evidence...

I have given you plenty to whine about yet love in equal measure. I say: I love my body; round fat stomach, love handles, large calf muscles, small boobs and all. I only want it to be healthy but I'm not going to hate it. I'm going to love it because it's the only body I want to have.

I love my body when it is injured and cannot do much of anything. I love my body whether it is firm or squishy because it is my spirit's home and vehicle. I love my body because it is how I experience the world though my senses and how I interact with my environment and the other people in it. To hate any part of my body is to hate a part of myself and I will not do that because hate harms me and I will not harm myself for anybody. I will not be around others who hate part of me and allow them to harm me. Because I love myself, I take proper care of myself. My body responds by being as healthy as it can be. I will not hate my body when it cannot be perfectly healthy because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, hidradenitis suppurativa, fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer, a cold, or any other of the things that I have no contol over. Even when it is not perfectly healthy, I love my body because it is a part of me and I love myself completely.

Grrr. This line: "My organs are relieved of overworking" O RLY? Never heard of organ failure from being fat--that's what happens to anorectics. Maybe they should start overworking their damn brains.

Hee! I really just think those affirmations are jacked. Anytime you're wishing change upon your body for purely aesthetic reasons, you're basically kicking your spirit square in the face. The affirmation becomes, "As I am right now, I'm not good enough." It's one thing to want to be fitter or what-have-you, but you don't use affirmations for that; you practice at fitness.

Here's my favorite part of the post : "Fat is a statement. My fat says of me that "I am here"; "I need and I want space"; "I need to feel sheltered and protected"; "I need to feel safe"; and I want you to see me while I hide. " I have felt that way MANY times. Oh yeah, I forgot. Here’s my favorite part of the post :

Another example of this is that I really love my hair but I'd like it to be longer (I'm growing it out but it's so flippin' curly that I can NEVER tell how long it is!). I agree with K.
