You are also one of those faithful regulars who contributes so much to Cranky Fitness.<BR/><BR/>And I do think you're right--whether it's tv or what our parents told us or all the covers on the magazines at the supermarket checkout counter, we get so many screwed up messages about our bodies and our weight that it's impossible not to internalize it.<BR/><BR/>I talk a good game but am always happier when my jeans fit more loosely, even though I'm just as healthy when they're a bit snug. I don't think many of us are completely immune.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-1317728664646032852007-06-01T12:02:00.000-04:002007-06-01T12:02:00.000-04:00You do have a great blog.

It is so great that the next time I am at the beach, I might hug a crab and think it is you (and probably get pinched, but that is the chance I'll have to take).<BR/>Here and other blogs in general, I am learning a lot about others and myself. <BR/>Weight is such a personal issue that so many of us share. It is hard to admit that how we look is so important to us. We are always trying to tell ourselves that it is the inside that matters but, the world is showing us differently. I have been thinking about the TV lately and how it sucks us in and sends us messages. I am shutting mine of for a little while, until I get my head straight (I may never turn it back on, hee hee). The TV talks about weight and appearance so much that I am really not sure how much this is influencing my thinking.<BR/>Anyway, nice job!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199405195909496507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-52284214650118343392007-06-01T11:48:00.000-04:002007-06-01T11:48:00.000-04:00Thanks so much, Dawn & Jennifer & Leah!

You guys know, I hope, how much I value your always-supportive comments, and especially the fact that you help me out so tirelessly, even when its a boring post on oat bran or something.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the collective instead of individual thanks, but I'm off now to check on all your blogs and say hello there!)Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-4470841975616013292007-06-01T07:57:00.000-04:002007-06-01T07:57:00.000-04:00Good for you, Crabby.

It could have. Fat, in my experience is just as touchy as say, unschooling. People get crazy. I think it's the cheerful moderator -- sometimes casual slack is the best way to get people talking.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619288792228194391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-42548923512475512942007-06-01T03:00:00.000-04:002007-06-01T03:00:00.000-04:00I have to admit I'm impressed with the quality of ...I have to admit I'm impressed with the quality of comments you're getting Crabby. And I'm not just saying that because I'm here! This whole weight thing can get unpleasantly heated and yet everyone kept their cool and was supportive of one another.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it could just be because they're scared of you!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991009842667783101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-71040394852984113022007-06-01T01:22:00.000-04:002007-06-01T01:22:00.000-04:00Thanks thomma lyn!Hi Sera--yes I saw the link and ...Thanks thomma lyn!<BR/><BR/>Hi Sera--yes I saw the link and definitely got a few visits from him as well! It looks like a great site. (For some reason I'm having login problems, and wanted to go there and thank him/them personally but haven't accomplished it yet.)<BR/><BR/>Kery,<BR/>That's great! So glad you've found your way here and added so much already. I'll have to figure out my wordpress cookie problems (as opposed to my Toll House cookie problems, an entirely different matter) and get properly logged in at Mark's site and go forage around there some more. He seems quite amusing and informative.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-84255224998163495412007-06-01T00:55:00.000-04:002007-06-01T00:55:00.000-04:00I'm glad he did link to this blog myself.
