I would like to email you sometime - as soon as things calm down at work a little : ) I also just want to say how glad I was to have found your blog. Besides having great tips, it is very inspiring for me on a personal level, and I also like how funny and down to earth you are! Thanks Kelly.

I think that's where this should start. Building community coalitions to ensure that kids are eating healthy and getting enough physical activity (modifications for kids with special needs/medical issues of course)! Thanks so much for this interesting conversation.

what Ally said is very interesting because it is completely true (for those who have had in the past or are currently suffereing from eating disorders):

everyone is talking so much about health: is physical health more important than mental health?

do you believe than an overweight/obese individual can truely love themselves just the way they are?
can they truely be happy if they are 300, 400, or 500 lbs?

in a society where life is easier for the beautiful, in general, are they perhaps better off than we are, character/personality-wise, because not everything is handed to them on silver platter?
