healthy living

I sent out this email and decided to cut and paste and share with you in blogworld...

hey guys...I started this group on MSN...I'm hoping to build a community to share and gain a better understanding about health and nutrition for our indegenous women. We are not shaped like our other sisters and I'm finding we need/cant tolerate certain foods and vitamins.

I'm hoping to understand why I'm so freakin heavy even though I eat pretty well and exercise (sometimes) lol...I feel this is an issue we all face and fight with...I feel if we pool all our knowledge we can live healthier lives...I left it open so everyone can moderate, add and delete information...

I started with my visual food diary. I take a picture of everything that goes into my mouth...I've been doing this for three days (I posted the first two days)...due to space I will delete these two days in a day or two and try to post everynite what I ate that day...I really would like you to do the same...it will help us compare...to find what works and what doesn't...I find that I'm thinking twice about what I'm eating cause, wow, that doesn't look good in a picture (i.e eating the icing crumbs off the bottom of the cake plate)...
This is not about being a size two, but being healthy at any size...we are beautiful and we need to feel/be the best we can...

I'm not really computer savvy, so if anyone wants to take this further, or add more stuff, please feel free...also please invite anyone you wish (the invite thingie wasn't working)...
