I would like to invite any of you that are in the Columbus, Ohio area to the Walk from Obesity being held on Saturday, October 30th at the Fred Beekman Park on The Ohio State University campus. Registration is $25 for early registration and $30 for day of the event. 12 and under are free. For more information go to www.walkfromobesity.com My name is Andrea and I am one of the event leaders. We would love to see you there!

If your a teen and reading this, then one thought I am sure you have is, "It sucks ass being over weight."  Maybe not so colorful, but it's honest. 

I didn't have much interest in adults telling me what to read or do, or say when i was young.  It was hard to make anyone really understand anything...

Your not alone in the world.  I hope your way becomes visible some how.  I hope the crap you have to take on a daily basis doesn't make you too bitter.  Fight the good fight and win with honor.  Don't give up...

i definately understand how you feel. my 18 year old daughter is morbidly obese and  my 14 year old son is obese. until  my daughter was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on monday, no one but me was concerned about her weight. i am totally frustrated and wish i knew how to help them beside saying " you cant have this and you cant have that".
