Cute isn't she?  
This female baluga whale is at the Vancouver Aquarium and I caught her
in what about sums up my view of people
that tend to judge or hound people about their weight!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sharon, it hurts me to see so many point fingers at those with different weights or heights or features, sweet friend, I know how it hurts so much to be made fun of of weight and other features because when I was a little boy, I was very short for my age and other boys beat me up just because of that! (sad sigh) That pain really helped me to appreciate and respect everyone's differences and no matter how much you weigh or how tall or short you are, you are special! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

He he, seems that when it comes to gaining weight is always more about their "stuff", right?  Me ... I just buy bigger clothes and enjoy life (only get one chance at this and I intend on enjoying it!)  Thanks for joining in at making fun of ourselves and others too, shucks why can't we just be ourselves, and that is okay with the masses?

grumble...sniff.

Just gave away my mini skirts and heels too.

I figger if I'm ever that size again it'll be because I'm pretty sick. (or addicted to something else)



*wince*

so there's more of me to love, huh?

sigh. It's okay. But giving away the little lace-edged black beaded number kinda smarted--I just hope I never have to see her in it...

WAH.

Well, well, well! Couldn't have said it better myself! Having been a victim of other's expectations, I am now living for me and enjoying life one hellova lot more now!
These added pounds just remind me of how much I enjoyed gaining them! LOL As you said, there's more of me to love! ~ and from how wonderful my love life is, I must be pretty darn lovable!

Sharon, you would still be beautiful, even if you tipped the scales at over 300 pounds!

Loving hugs,
Linda

Well Ladies, we can thank the media for creating those folks who bear an inferiority complex can't we?  I gave up living up to others ideas of "ideal" long ago, and life is good   Thank you.

By the way - that is a Mother Baluga whale, and here is a link to read up on them (the one in the picture just had herself a baby - weighing in at about 128 lbs WOW!

Sharon, I love the poem, the picture of the whale spewing people, your ideas...and you!!

(And, I just gave away a bunch of my "skinny clothes", too. Gary says I'm not fat and gets irritated when I say I am. But, he's partial 'cause he loves me....the clothes tell.)

Oh... we could have a whale of a time....
OOOO ....Put your fin in mine.

QUoted from the movie The Green Onion (60's under the sea beach flick complete with wankers)...

I know how you feel, Sharon.  I am hovering at a pleasant 250 myself.... I think people pay way too much attention to everyone else's middle.... without getting to know the heart of them.

I'm actually on the losing track these days... good for my health and overall being and happening for the best of reasons... but bad for my temper when it gets the attention of those who saw nothing worthwhile in me just a few pounds ago! LOL

I like this very much, Mysteria! *S*
