Acceptance....

I need to vent. I just finished posting on the ww forum in the tennis thread. I can't believe some of the people were having a go at Serena because of her ample butt. I know it has been in the media but I expected more from the people doing weight watchers. Why would they talk like they were about someones body when obviously their's isn't perfect or they wouldn't be on ww.

I'm sorry, I need to calm down. I know I have taken this personally because I too have a big butt and get hurt when strangers make stupid comments about it. Who cares what size her butt is, or how big someones tummy etc... Am I asking too much to expect acceptance at ww? Don't get me wrong, most of the people are wonderful and are very accepting of others, it was just a select few that I am annoyed with.

On the bright side - I lost 2.1kgs last week. I worked hard, I mean really hard. I started my new job (which I will talk about later), I swam 1.5kms twice, I did a pt session, a deep water running session and had my first session of curves. I don't think I have exercised so much in one week - ever!

On the job front - My new job is good, everyone seems to be really friendly. The girls that I work with are lovely. I think it will take me a bit of time to learn about the construction / engineering industry, hopefully not too long though. The travelling isn't even bothering me, I have rather enjoyed the driving all week. I am looking forward to going back on Monday.

Well thats all I have to say. Thanks for listening...

Hey Sonia,

I just took a look at the thread you were talking about! Not very nice the comments on there. I think she has a fantastic body and yes she has a typical african american woman's butt and I think that looks awesome! People do have implants to look that good! I didn't think people on WW could be that judging but obviously it happens no matter what size you are.

Well done on your fantastic weight loss this week! You are kicking butt!!!

Love Claudia
