This is a group for support of fat people. We gather to prepare good food, share recipes and tips and stories, eat for nutrition, move with joy, and focus on our health rather than on numbers on the scale. We know it is hard to be fat. This is not a weight loss group, but losing weight is not a sin here. Most of all, we get together to create the community that is so essential to abundant life.

… I hope to restore a love for eating - no more counting points and restrictive dieting! Food is meant to nourish the body and nurture the soul. Eating should be a celebration and shared with family and friends. I hope you will join us!    PS If you are wondering about the group photo, it is called Dickerson Cows. The artist is a childhood friend of mine who now lives in the DC area - Bernie Dellario. You can check out his amazing art at http://www.bjdellario.com.
