Half Size Me

by Geralt License: CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) - Public Domain I recently posted how happy I was to RSVP for my 20 year reunion. And if I had not lost the weight, I would have more than likely tried to lose it before the reunion, or just said no due to being ashamed of my body. I got a concerned email from a listener who said statements like that may not be sending the right message to women who are struggling with their weight or body acceptance. They may see my statement as a message that says, "If I am overweight maybe I should be ashamed of my body and not go to my reunion." I realized after reading this email that I hadn't properly express my true, pure joy about this situation. So I felt the need to share my thoughts about this more in depth. Right now I am technically considered over weight. I am between 5’4” - 5’5” and weigh on average 157 pounds, so based on the BMI scale I am 7-12 pounds outside of the normal range. Outside the normal range. Even if I wear a size 6 pants and small clothes. Ev
