More To Love And Dance Your A-- Off

I started to watch the show Dance Your A-- Off on Oxygen. I felt at first that the show was pretty good. Overweight people learning to eat healthy, excercise and dance a routine. It is a great incenitive. I just felt so sad when people had to go home. I know that they will probably go home and binge. I would. Being built up with an eating disorder and then crashing...oh my gosh...it must hurt. I wish people didn't go home, but would still be able to work out and lose the weight. Maybe they don't win the 100 thou but hey, it's more important to be healthy.

Last night I watched More to Love. It was one of those bachelor reality shows when a man choses a marriage partner out of 20 eager women. Most times the women are slim and gorgeous, yet on this particular FOX show the women as the Bachelor are all obese. At first I was happy about the show, because it was nice to see women who were heavier get a chance a love. The sad part is many have never dated before and looked so devastated as to who the bachelor would pick. Oh my gosh, what pain on their faces. The crying of feeling that no one loved them. When I was younger I was much thinner than I am now, yet I was about 10-20 lbs overweight. When I married I was a size 7. My husband though told me that if I gained weight that he would divorce me. After I had my son, I had gained 30 lbs. My husband had already found someone much thinner and younger. Unbelievable what a creep he was. I ended up of course a single parent.
It's a shame how our society worships body image more than a persons heart. Anyway being older, I am much happier at who I am. My heart though goes out to these women (or men) that suffer from low self esteem because people are so cruel.

Even as an author, another author used to go around the internet called me Mrs. Cow on her blogs etc. She was no slim babe either, but I guess it made her feel better. She hates fat people and makes it quite clear online that she does. What sad, sick people.
Just know that God loves all of his children. With that in mind, I could care less what any sick person thinks of me. I am blessed. So are all of these other people who suffer from being different then societies beliefs.
Oh well, have to go.
Hugs,
D'Maria

I love twitter!

I have been such a bad little blogging author. LOL. It's been weeks since being here. Sheez. It's been really busy though. My mom had been in the hospital and I was also AGAIN under doctors care. Today though I feel great. Absolutely fantastical. On my birthday yesterday (July 4) I went to a church outreach. It was really hot and my stay was only for about 3 hours, but for me that is a huge miracle. I thought today, I would be in bed all day, but it's a wonderful day.

I love twitter. It has been such a joy meeting new author's there, plus many of my friends are on there as well. Meeting new friends is also a joy. It's such a fun experience.

Today, I will take a nap and then get back on my book. I found an editor that is reasonable to catch the mistakes. Very cool.
God is so good to me, even with the hills, mountains to climb and sometimes feeling as though I am swimming in a tidal wave...God is good.
