KC: Hi, Pricilla! Over the years, I keep checking in and wishing you well. But, today's blog about being 'normal' stopped me in my tracks. Obesity is not normal!! Just because so many suffer, does not make it 'normal'. Over half the English population died of the Plague in the 1300's - did that make those deaths 'normal'. Please do not justify illness - especially that which is preventable. Keep watching Biggest Loser - not for the ratings but to see just how much effort is put in by skinny pe
Elma: I have slipped a bit lately too so I know where your coming from.I'm going to follow your lead and get started seriously working on losinfg the fat.(by the way,I was all set to walk with you in St Augustine the other day.What happened to that?I was disappointed.)

Priscilla: OMG...sorry to be a cry baby and I know I have NO ONE to blame but me, but my face and my body have gotten so much fatter in the last three months!!!

Priscilla: Not only did I survive at the BIG gym, I loved it! I'll tell you all about it tomorrow and upload two little movies I made of myself, before and after, in the car. They will be good for a wee laugh! Have a brilliant Sunday! :)

stella: how right you are prsicilla about the undergarment thing. being a bra fitter i know first hand how many women out there are holding on to those nasty bras and panties. a bra only is made to last 6 months if you have a few it would be longer but come on girls do something for yourself get the fit. when your body is changing into new sizes that means bras and panties to. not only will it make your appeance 100% better it will make you feel sexy. and we all love that!!!! i remember your face pricsi

When you think of the fact that 3 tiny kit kats equal 200 calories, and of ALL the candy they already receive, well....I dont care to contribute to their calories OR their cavi

200 Billion Dollars Spent Each Year...Can You Guess On What?

Consumers spend a lot of money each year on some wild items.  This number is one just released by the Associated Press on a study that was done about the total cost that is spent in medical expenses due to diabetes.  The scary part is that it keeps increasing.

Since I have so far been able to dodge the diabetes bullet, I'm not adding to this giant number.  But with my mother having Type II diabetes and her mother having passed away from complications of diabetes, I know I have to keep moving and watch what I eat to avoid this.

Did you know that more people die each year from diabetes than from breast cancer and AIDS combined?  Why aren't we in a state of panic about this?  Is it because that society sees diabetes (Type II anyway) as something we bring on ourselves?  Perhaps.

If you do the tiniest bit of research on the subject you will see that with proper DIET and EXERCISE has the most incredible effect on diabetes.  There are many people who have came off their medicines and have been miraculously cured just by really taking control of their own health. 

The tough part is that when you are addicted to food or have a food abuse problem, we have to look at the problem as a whole.  It's easy to just tell someone to eat right and get exercise.  But if you look around us, that doesn't work.

What do YOU think would solve this epidemic?  Discuss your ideas here.

Priscilla
