I don't work for Madison Ave. Adrienne -- I can't find the references line for this article, but in your original article you said something like "Let's all start thinking about our health!" I felt guilty at that point too. -- marie desjardins ...!harvard!h-sc4!h-sc1!desjardins

I know that I do not get nearly enough exercise (i.e. practically none, except for my fingers...*smile*), but it's not guilt I feel. More like, I really wish I didn't get out-of-breath for running a block or two, but I realize that it's all really up to me, and whether I want to take the time to get into better shape or not. I see no reason to feel guilty for making a decision one way or the other. Why would someone feel guilty for this? Muffy

re: "Let's all start thinking about our health!" and thinness and guilt. Being fat and healthy is better than being svelt and out of shape. Feeling guilty does nothing but drain your energy without you getting much for it. (Ohoh, time to start feeling guilty about feeling guilty!) But! If you're going to nag yourself, I still think concentrating on health is better than concentrating on thinness. Thinness isn't really a great measure of healthiness. Also, some forms of exercize offer more than healthiness. Springtime is a good time to go walk in the woods or a park. I try to concentrate on how good exercize will make me feel, (relaxed, calm, invigorated) rather than on how long it's been since the last time I did any. -- Julia Harper [ihnp4,ariel]!hou5g!jdh
