Hello Lee Ann --

As others have written, this is an incredible, wonderful, amazing, stupendous, glorious feat.

There is some recent research about how women who are slightly overweight and exercise are healthier than skinny ones who don't.

As you've noted, it's not the weight that's the issue here, it's the extreme response to the photograph and the perception of "weight.". So, yes, maybe you do want to step up exercise. But the real overhaul is turning our attention to the positive. Always a momentous task for me.
