Sometimes I wish I was a nationally recognized personal trainer so I could just walk up to someone I saw who needed an intervention and just do one.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441082297152690560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614746678835590944.post-56116213306221494922010-07-22T10:54:38.141-07:002010-07-22T10:54:38.141-07:00Don't write people off, C.O.S, okay?

I must ...Thank you for the comment on my blog, Joy. I must have been HERE when it came in, LOL!<br /><br />When I read your description of the lady in the store... missing out on life due to her weight, I thought: that used to be me. It was sad to read. I hope people see that you are not criticizing her, but showing concern. <br /><br />Because believe me, it is torture to be that big. Heartbreaking, painful torture. <br /><br />I know your frustration in wanting to help your friends... and have them back off, for whatever reason. Ditto here. If people are not ready, they can get very touchy and defensive, and not see your heart, but "feel" judged. They just can't correctly see that you are reaching out in love and concern for them.<br /><br />I have had to shut my mouth and wait for THEM to ask ME. And sometimes, even then, when someone finds out it's not some quick and easy magic "diet", they glaze over and tune me out. Okay... they are not ready. Like I wasn't ready for sooo many years.<br /><br />I'm glad you prayed for her... some day you will find out how God touched her life, maybe not in this lifetime, but someday you'll know.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.com
