Diane, you will be a wonderful addition for them. Hope you have fun.

I think there’s a lot to be said for the protective effects of fat. It keeps people from scrutizing you on the beach– just another weeble-style mommy, move along, nothing to see here! Volley/tether/basketballs don’t hurt when they collide. You’re just not that delicate, and though fat is no real protection in most attack situations, fat people are often fairly strong (you have to be, lugging all those extra pounds). My husband’s cousin, who was a 300 pound chef, survived a robbery in his kitchen when the knife was too short to reach through his fat to anything meaningful. I think size is a subconscious factor in how people evaluate threat. Smaller people do seem more vulnerable, whether they really are or not. (Think Bruce Lee!)

Diane – I can’t wait to see what your husband thought. As the heavy one in my relationship I wonder if my girlfriend has feelings about my weight struggles. Probably.

I wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes! I hope that you enjoy John’s thoughts tomorrow. He was a bit nervous to write something for the blog.

I’ll be checking in as I can – have a great Monday!

Yes, I can see exactly where you are coming from. As you know I have no ads on my site, and do no reviews. I feel the opportunity to write occasionally for Frito-Lay’s blog gives me the chance to put my point of view about healthy snacking out there. The purpose of this trip is to introduce us to some of their healthier snacking products like SmartFood popcorn clusters and Flat Earth chips.

I think it will be very interesting to see all that they have to say. And as a mom to seven with very limited opportunities to travel, I’m looking forward to the chance to see Texas for the first time.

I hope you have a great Sunday and I appreciate your honesty as always!

Hope you enjoy your time in the Dallas area. That’s where I am. In fact, I work right down the street from the Frito-Lay’s HQ building.
