Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just need to vent a bit. I used to get panicky reading the Zumba message boards (I’m a Zumba instructor) because they talk a lot about losing weight. But I’ve calmed down a bit and have actually posted there about IE. Once they were talking about whether they were trying to lose, gain or maintain. I said that the best way to gain weight was to go on a diet. Several chimed in and said, that’s right, diets don’t work, but “this” or “that” (insert favorite restrictive eating plan) does. They just don’t get it. But yesterday someone wrote in about her stomach not being flat. She was desperate about this little bulge. She’s tiny and hardly weighs anything, but she has a little pooch she can’t get rid of. I so wanted to write in and say something like, accept your body. But I didn’t because I think it would have been seen as antagonistic. Now there’s like 27 posts giving her advice about how to get rid of the pooch. IE feels so comfortable compared to the frenzy there.
