This is sooo true! In my past, Ive had family members make rude jabs at me about my weight....family members that shouldve been supportive. Some of which have now turned the corner and started showing interest and support. Aside from my personal experience, I have seen 2 examples of this in others in the past week. One is a beautiful girl whos husband took a jab at her about her weight in an effort to motivate her. Not cool! The other...equally as bad but so very far out of line was a dear, dear friend of mine who was shamed because of her weight at a doctors office.....doctors are supposed to help, not belittle!!! Spouses, parents, siblings, friends and enemies.....start 2015 by positively encouraging those in your life who are struggling with their weight. Obesity is real and its an epidemic and its an ongoing everyday struggle for those who live with it. We arent all lazy and sloppy and overeaters like so many stereotypes suggest. Some have medical reasons or hormone imbalances that make it tough. Some just dont know how to get started and are terrified to ask for help simply because those closest to them criticize them. Stop doing that!!! And, if youre one of those who have been afraid to ask for help or know someone who is, please reach out to me. Im on my own journey and Ive already helped dozens get started too! 2015 can be your/their year! Lets do it together!!!
