		<description>Hi there!

Great stuff and so much great work! I&#039;d love to have one with the broccoli, but I would actually love it on navy, would that be possible? I know I am a bit like Sally of Harry and Sally - you know, &quot;On the side&quot; - so sorry about that!

That actually makes me think of another &quot;QOTW&quot;: &quot;To the (wo)men like Roni who actually &quot;did it&quot;: I know that many people who achieved their goal weight and actually maintained it describe a much more active lifestyle and that they have become different persons, i.e. more active, productive, etc. How does that transition happen? And does it happen to anyone of you, or are some of you exactly the same as before concerning activity/productivity/etc.?&quot;

And I don&#039;t actually have a problem with men and weight loss as long as they are not the ones teasing bigger women. I have met a lot of bigger men (including my dad) who think bigger women are unattractive, and they were actually offended when I told them to have a closer look at themselves. And then, to my surprise, some of them even started to open up and tell me about problems they had with themselves. So I think they were actually projecting their own problems on the women they found unattractive. I can understand what they mean, but I cannot accept it.

Don&#039;t get me wrong, size does not count for me, I want to fall in love with the right person, no matter if he is big or thin. I really mean that. But I really cannot tune into the thin=attractive thing, and I cannot help confronting people who have an opinion before they look at themselves first. There may be advantages about a healthy weight range, but attractiveness is not necessarily one of them.

Apart from that, men sometimes have different reasons for weight gain or motivations for weight loss I find harder to understand, but I think this might be the same the other way round.

Love,
Nina</description>
