One thing I’ve noticed is that we tend not to see what others see sometimes.

For example I’ve been away on holiday for the last month and I regained about 3kgs and have been feeling a bit fat. I bumped into someone I haven’t seen for a year or so and they were astounded by how ’skinny’ I am.

I think we can all too easily get bogged down in the minutae of life and forget the big picture.

I saw your site and i agree with your ideas. I also run a blog focused on proper weight management. Had enough of the empty promises fad diets deliver.

Keep up the good work!

I am also a teacher and absolutely love it, and wouldn’t think of doing anything else. I am also in the process of bettering myself and taking care of myself physically. Although difficult, being the stressed teacher, I find that I am still doing what I can and that is all I can ask for right now, otherwise I will be burnt out from overworking myself, but I do need to be conscience of what I do to myself.

About the staying home and raising your kids, I applaud you! Many parents out there, in my opinion, don’t spent enough time with their kids. They kids are the ones suffering because they aren’t getting the family education and values that they need to participate in society. That is just an observation, and I don’t mean to offend anyone but it saddens me that people have kids and don’t spent time with them.

Good for you for finding a passion that allows you to be healthy and do what you love; being with your kids.

I taught in LA for two years, starting at age 23.

By the summer after my first year, my doctor was giving me warnings about my blood pressure.

I still have nightmares about some of those kids.

Okay…so I’m sitting here in my classroom, reading your blog and getting REALLY jealous. It’s a struggle for me to balance doing a good job teaching and taking care of myself and my family, and I’m really happy for you that you’ve found something that’s fulfilling and healthier. Way to go!
