Not to mention she is 14 1/2 and will not always see things the way I do. We all have our own issues and sometimes they'll show up in a post, that is normal don't you think. Anyway our lives are very busy right now with her traveling back and forth to Vegas & Illinois to see her Dad, God knows she should not be bored, lol! So I have asked her not to post on here any longer. I noticed that her posts were getting negative and I'm trying to point her toward more positive things in her life.

She chose to personalize it. I understand that as her mother, you want to defend her, that is natural. If you disagree with what I just said, why don't you please give me a call @ home and we can disccuss it for the same reasons I said to Heather. As I said, I feel very strongly about this. Anna didn't say anything about Heather. If Heather chose to take it personally, you should correct her, because I have reread all of Anna's post looking at it objectively, and there is nothing in the posts about Body for Life that refer to Heather. I'm happy to discuss with you whenever you're ready. Only call me with an open mind, and I will do the same if you choose to call. Chris, I like you, I like Heather, ask yourself if there is any part of me or what I've said that is irrational or unreasonable. Any comments about your Mother in other posts are off-topic at the moment, but if some or all of those bother you or Heather, please discuss those with Anna.

She won't be calling you to "discuss" this :| Geez she's a teenager and sees things a certain way, just leave it at that. What I think Heather was trying to say in her own teen words is that Anna looks fine to HER. I believe sometimes this forum is just something to do for her and she posts here out of boredom, lol. Now you must admit that not everything posted here is positive, if you think so please read the rant about my mother :lol: But if you'd like us to not post here anymore because we don't always agree please just let know.

Her wanting to lose weight and be healthy is a wonderful thing, don't you think? Try to contribute to that enthusiasm, or don't post anymore on this topic. This is something she will need support on, and I'm going to help her, I pledged this to her. I suspect you can to, so please find a way to support this wonderful thing she wants to do and encourage her. If you think that what I'm saying her is off-color, rude, or if its unclear, confusing, any of that, please give me a call @ home so we can discuss it, 408-944-9171. I'm usually there from 8pm on during the week, and am around most weekends. I feel very strongly on this. Heather, you are personalizing something that Anna is doing for herself.

But you saying that I made all overweight people sound 'bad' was a completely unfair accusation. Especially when I never talked about anybody but myself in that post and my own self image.
