'Being Fat Sucks.' Such a good article- long, but good! I found it in the SD Reader, and the author makes really good points about making lifestyle changes and losing weight to be healthy, not just skinny. She also touches on the social stigma that is associated with overweight and the fact that while we live in a society preoccupied with food and eating, many overweight and obese individuals experience stigmatization and discrimination. Her story is touching and inspiring. Here's the link. Copy, paste, and enjoy!

Yo! Hey dude, I read that too! The title and cover were quite attention-grabbing. Did you notice how many advertisements there were for different health studies? Sheesh....
Hey Jamie, I saw that too! How funny... even the health promotions dept mentioned it!
To post a link, just click on the globe-like figure on the top and put your link to it. Then add the name to it you'd like for it to have :)
If that doesn't help, I'll post something about it on my page this week :)
