@GoldenGirl: I have a very dear friend who writes daily, and shares her writings with her friends. Today she wrote the following, in part... I thought it was wonderful and I thought you and maybe some on KDC might like it too!
I have no intention of going on a diet…I will just be making
better choices. I have no intention of completely giving up the things I love,
just cutting back. I hate exercise but I know that at my age it’s important. It
will help with the way I “feel” and I want to feel great.
So
if you don’t hear anything else I say today, hear this. I think you are incredibly
beautiful just the size you are. I don’t care if you gain weight, lose weight
or stay just the same…you are beautiful. I do hope that you will make the
choice to be healthy…it will give us more years to enjoy each other’s company
and have fun! I hope you love yourself as much as I love you. 4951
