VitoVino,

the distinction you made in your example about working with youth is one of behavior versus being. My protest was about your saying my *behavior* was trollish; I did not say you said I was *a troll.*...

I didn't want to go out on a bad note. I'm still not feeling comfortable with the culture I seem to have jumped into and hope that it is possible for me to delete my profile and posts after we work...

Crossed wires?

Smile Point taken

Agreed about the time and not normally the way I would choose to do things. I was probably a bit disconcerted by the way my post about prejudice was transformed into a discussion of the effects of...

Re Twisting words

"I didn't say fortunately or definitely and I didn't say all the time. Why did you twist my words?"

That is a direct quote in reply to my talking about doctors being prejudiced, demeaning and condescending. I was not talking about...

Wow.

So obese people don't have a right to have their medical issues addressed the way other people do? So it's appropriate to be demeaning toward people and reduce them to one aspect of their being? How...

I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be African American? For some reason, BMI calculations don't work as well for African Americans; I suspect that in general they may have greater diversity in...

Wow... so much

internalized fat prejudice and flat-out moralism here.

Picture the inverse: an unhealthily underweight person who doesn't find the time (or whatever) to drink all those protein shakes etc...

Fat prejudice in Health Care

I'm a health professional and have had a few bad run-ins with doctors who seem to think that being overweight means you are also stupid. I've looked into this and discovered there are many, many...

Thumbs up Admirable.

I don't think I'd be comfortable posting a pic of my belly online, although I'm a little heavier than you are. I'm impressed with your courage and commitment to keeping it real!

Wink New...to forums

I've used FitDay on and off for about 4 years with great success. However, the past few years have been tough in terms of weight and fitness- I've traveled a lot and gotten married. I'm a health...

I also severely overpronate although I have high arches and stiff feet. I've read about going barefoot or using barefoot shoes and I'm intrigued. What I am certain will help both of us, though, is...
