Tuesday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
Here's another "overweight is healthy" article.
I have always been of the "right-sized" philosophy. Weight is important only when it actually and provably causes health issues.
Trying to shape your body for cosmetic reasons is the absolute worst reason ever to damage your body through extreme weight loss diets and excessive exercise.
Trying to manage your weight for proven health benefits - not mythical ones, not doctor imposed "cosmetic" ones, and certainly not as a scare tactic - is a Good Thing.
Some people are healthier and happier - and prettier - when they weigh above the arbitrarily imposed "average" weight. And others are healthier and happier when they weigh less than that arbitrary "average" weight.
So, find the weight you feel best at, and be happy with it.
