LOVE this blog entry.
There are a lot of people who land on my table who believe that all their body problems would be eased if just lost some weight. Some times it would help. Sometimes it would make very little difference.
Here's the thing that matters so much to me in my practice: you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. Your body is doing the very best it can and is always moving towards health. It is working, for heavens sake, because you are still breathing and can still move.
Can I help you hurt a little less, move a little more smoothly, breathe a little easier? Sure and it makes me happy. But, trust me, I don't look at you and think "fat". I *may* look at you and think "shoulders look tight" or "looks uncomfortable" or "wonder what I can do to make his/her day better" or "what challenge will this new person bring me". But I'm never thinking "fat".
