Fashion Show

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Fleming Island, FL

There are some of the nicest ladies on my Obesity team. Some needs something to do that they will enjoy. If I invited them to model in the fashion show and show them how many more ladies there are that are obese but has found something to do. I know it will motivate them even more. I don't want to go against the rules here, is why I am asking.

What Are Your Key Words For The Upcoming New Year?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

The new year is just a couple of days away! It is time to think about what it is you want to different in your life. New Year's resolutions are easy to make but hard to keep, so instead of making specific resolutions, I am adopting key words for myself for the new year.

My words are OPTIMISM, CONFIDENCE, and FAITH. What words will you adopt?
