As many of you know, I've been a HAES advocate and blogger forEVER. When I was pregnant with my son, I was interviewed by NBC for a news story regarding OBs refusing to take patients strictly based on BMI. I argued that weight & health are not always linked, and that these practices were discriminatory. One of the comments my story later received was "good luck keeping up with your kid at a playground at that weight"
Here we are, almost 5 years later. I weigh exactly what I weighed when I got pregnant, and yet here I am, playing with my son and having a blast. This weekend we ran, climbed ropes and slid down slides for hours together. We had a great time!
Long story short, don't ever let anyone tell you "you can't"...especially because of your weight!
