I think it’s a tad easier to ebb + flow your way to the top when you’re thin. I don’t think I’ve spotted a ‘baby got back’ kind of gal on Donny Deutsch But then there’s our girl Oprah…

Girlfriend, I’ve got on my big girl panties and occasionally bust out the spanx. I think blogging has added to my bottom line-yet *pun intended… I haven’t let my new found weight.. ok. ok. it’s been lingering for a while now, since the mid 90′s… sorry, I birdwalk now + then. As I was saying, I haven’t let my weight get in the way of my pursuits. I think it makes me more comfortable chattin’ it up with whomever and has somehow helped me find my sass inner voice.

I thought after doing a segment or 2 of tv, I’d be all over dieting. NOPE. 2 years of monthly organizing + lifestyle segments later… I’ve only put on more Lbs.

So here’s to cropping pics, blogging away with coffee and tons of real cream + sugar. Cheers to you + me and the rest of the cheerleaders that got fat along with me. *kick, jump, hurkie, + pom pom shake in the air…. and a good chin nod to boot!

Kelly, it’s like I said the other day, “Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.” We cannnot put savvy, personality, and intelligence aside. They RULE! There are some waifer thin people I work with in the corporate world who have no savvy, and therefore, no credibility. They have no personality, and therefore no friends. They have little intelligence, and therefore little trust. Keep rockin’ in the mastermind world, and like minded people will see only your attributes. I hope to meet you someday, Kelly, and that some of your savvy will rub off on me. I could only be so lucky!

I can’t believe I wrote this post without making mention of my 48 Days to a Better Me project! LOL!

Laurie – I have never liked diet and exercise either – but somehow in this challenge I’ve put myself in I’ve found a new love for physical activity like rebounding and walking and free weights. I’ve been on Weight Watchers for a month then switched to lo-carb this past Sunday. As of yesterday I’ve lost 21 pounds. Whee!

I have six more days to my challenge – hoping to kick my behind and make it to 25 pounds lost

I am chubby and not happy at all about it. But I don’t like dieting or exercising much – so it’s kind of hard to fix!! I know it bothered me thought to see myself on tv this week and see how round my face is and the rolls under my t-shirt. I wouldn’t let the concern with my weight hold me back from opportunities though – and some day I may put a picture of myself (more than a headshot) on my blog. We’ll see!

I know the feeling of growing up thin, and then gaining. I was always the super skinny, couldn’t gain weight no matter how much I ate, kid. Until my junior year of high school. Been chubby ever since!

I don’t let it hold me back. I have no problem posting full body pics of myself on my blogs, and have done so many, many times.

But I’m also aware that being heavy has limited me in some ways. People look at me differently, and treat me differently. And it’s a cultural perception that is unfair. We just have to ignore it and live our lives without worrying about that though!

I know the feeling about not wanting to be photographed. I'm always the one behind the camera and I've often thought if I were to pass on, my kids don't have too many recent pictures of me. Oh, vanity! Kudos on not letting it hold you back from anything. I need to learn to do that. Marya´s last blog post..New Classifieds for Families of Children With Special Needs

Kelly, I’m far from being chubby and have never managed to weight more than 110 pounds, even when I was pregnant. I’m tiny and small, even around Ecuadorians

But that’s fine with me and I’ve got used to my size. Tall people might not know, but for us smalls it’s sometimes hard to keep up with conversations among tall people. Sometimes in a meeting or conference I find myself with a neck ache – true!

I’ve been also mistaken by a high school or college student. This might be fun sometimes but when pople doesn’t take me seriously it does bother me.

This to say that I don’t have an idea of what being chubby is like, and from outside I don’t think there’s a reason this could become a big obstacle for anyone’s blogging biz. It might just be inconvenient in some situations, but nothing that can really hold you back.

I know how I feel among tall people, especially when everybody is taller and talk among themselves without looking at me. Still, I attend meetings if those are of my interest and manage to get people look under their shoulders, or even bend to listen what I say…lol

I think you rock and would love to meet you in person, even if I have to step in a chair to avoid hurting my neck.
