I am so glad none of my children got this one as a newborn. I know that now

in GA (at least) they have stopped giving it routinely to newborns. They now

recommend waiting until 2 to 4 months (I didn't start any of my kids vaccines

until 6 months, because that's when they start losing their mom's immunity).

It makes sense, and there has been a lot of talk about how many women

use extra weight as a form of protection, because we DON'T want to be

reduced to objects!

I started developing at age 15, and I looked older than I was.

Basically, I got pretty large breasts, and started getting hit on and

harassed, and it only got worse when I moved to New York City for

college. I didn't have the emotional resources to deal with it, and

I started wearing baggy clothes and eventually put on some weight.

I don't know whether it's strictly feminist thinking or not, but I do

believe that women (and, increasingly, men) are devalued when given

the message that the most important thing about us is how hot we are.

> I totally agree with this article. Infact my husband and I have

had this conversation a lot lately. He feels that I am a bit of a

femanist when it comes to modesty. You know what I guess I am if

that means that I feel that women are being devalued more and more we

take off our clothing and have everything that God gave us out there

for everyone to see. I think that this whole idea of flant it if you

got it, is one of my hang ups with losing weight. I don't want to

flaunt anything. I want to get healthy so that I am able to have the

energy and clear mind that I need to be the best mom to my adorable

three children. Sometimes I think it is easier dealing with being a

little plump more than with cat calls and seeing people look at me

like I am an obeject. I feel like my wieght protects me from that.

People really have to get to know ME for who I am. I will say that I

am grateful for my fat, because I am fat people do not see me as an

object.
