Who knew -- this week is "Fat Talk Free" week. I found out yesterday, which was too late -- I had already made at least one disparaging comment about my weight yesterday. Of course, this is a weight loss blog -- I write about my diets (or not...) but, the journey you've seen me take here has been as much about acceptance and empowerment as it has been about the number on the scale, or at least I hope so.
This initiative come from the Delta Delta Delta sorority. As a sorority girl myself, I'm impressed by this initiative. The website -- http://www.endfattalk.org/ -- includes facts and ways to get involved. I'm going to try to avoid fat talk this week, both the negative ("I'm too fat for...") and the positive ("You look great! Have you lost weight?"). Remember, you're more than the number on the scale or in the back of your jeans.
How will you end fat talk this week? Its as "simple" as turning off those thoughts in your head. Good luck, it will be hard, but give it a shot!

I think this is such an important idea and message to put out there. And I love your point about avoiding both the negative AND the positive, because we all are more than just our weight. So while comments about losing weight are nice, it still focuses on that physical part.
Also, I've grown to love your blog so much I've given you a blogging award! Details are on my blog, so play along if you'd like :-)
