I agree with you. I think every person is different, we can’t use one standard to judge everybody. We don’t need magazine or TV to tell us we are fat or slim. The only person knows us in this world is ourselves.

Fat or slim is just how you look on the outside, if we feel healthy and happy then we don’t have to care about other people’s option too much.

At the end of the day, we just have to be honest with ourselves.

That’s a very good point Maggie! Actually that’s the key to almost everything. However, sadly, it’s not easy.

Take for example “being fat”. There is no such thing, it doesn’t exist. There is not a “fat” person in the world. However some people think of themselves as “fat”. And they try to change their diet - but without success. Or maybe they have less weight afterwards, but still look a bit “out of shape” (think of all the poor white women with an upper body so thin like they are starved but with a bottom/legs that looks too big).

But if they would look closer, if they would listen to their body, they would find out they have some swolen organs, to much bowls in their intestines, disfunctional movement patterns, parasitic muscle activiation, unbalanced flexor/extensor interaction and so on.

So it would be easy to change that, but if a person cannot see “what is there”, or feel, or listen, as you put it, they have no chance for change. Instead they have to listen to rules and guidelines, and they have to be lucky to draw something that is right for them.

Nice recipe, btw, I wish I had a friend with an oven!
