I ran into an old friend in the grocery store. Years passed since we were last together. We decided to make a lunch date to catch up. We both agreed to see one another the next week at a restaurant we use to frequent. I was excited, because we always had extraordinary endeavors that were encountered. Well, the day came to meet my long ago friend and we both met on time as usual. I ordered salad and steak and my friend did the same. We reminisced about old times, laughing and sometimes wanting to cry as we ate our appetizer..the salad! At what point did I realize that there was a huge green piece of salad in my friends teeth. I tried not to stare. But my eyes aggressively gravitated towards it. In my mind I was thinking, how do you tell someone that you haven't seen in years that they have food in their teeth. I just couldn't! So I didn't. I excused myself to the restroom. When I finished my business, as I began to sanitize my hands, I made a quick check in the mirror, only to see that I had a huge piece of salad in my teeth too! I wish I had told my friend about that hunk of food in their teeth, we could have laughed more!
The moral of the story is: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

Personal Pan Pizza
Personal Pan Pizza
6in. Wheat flat bread
Prego Original Spaghetti Sauce
Part Skim Mozzarella Shredded Cheese
Oregano Seasoning
Spread about 2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce evenly over flat bread. Shake oregano over sauce to taste. I like a lot of cheese, so I'm a little heavy handed when i layer the cheese on top. It is up to you as to how much cheese you use, but i would say about 1/2 cup would be gracious. Pop into a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 10 min. or until cheese is melted and bubbly
Note: you may add different veggies and meats to this dish. This is even fun with the Kids!
Exercise Tips
BUST A MOVE
Dancing is a great way to burn off pounds, and it also great fun. Turn on some off your favorites tunes with a fast and energetic beat, and break it down. It doesn’t matter what you look like – all that matters is that you are burning calories, and loving every minute of it.
Prayer
I confess that the devil doesn't have the right to work in my mind and imagination. I refuse to permit him to divide me from the people I know, love, and need. My heart is free of strife and offense, and the door is closed to the devil so he can not disrupt my relationships. When the devil does try to distract me with the temptation of strife, the Holy Spirit removes the blur of the disagreement and reminds of how much I love and need that person. I declare this by faith in Jesus' Name!

here it is, your funny for the day!!
You are in a crowded gym when you suddenly realize you need to fart. The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat. You let 5 strong and loud ones go back to back. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stopping point. As you are leaving the gym, people are really staring you down, and that's when you remember:
You've been listening to your iPod!
Tip Of The Week
How to Soften Up All Over
The Grapefruit Diet may not do much for your waist, but the fruit sure works for elbows.
Rest them in grapefruit halves for five minutes; the citric acid exfoliates. Dry and rub in extra virgin olive oil (great for scaly heels too). It's rich in skin-repairing vitamin E.

Mind you, you know about that. Ive known you 3 mnths, I’ve known her over 10 years and I just told her. She’s a little critical, but I went on and told her who was goin to be in the house. So anyway, I go on and tell her the business on what happened. She gave me good advice, but her whole piece is about him being married. Of course I have some bias, because I love him. But what do you think? He is separated from his wife now and moving back to the east coast. I’m have no expectations, but I do love him.

Exercise
LAUNDRY LIFTS
A laundry basket full of clothes can be more than a household chore – it can be an arm sculpting piece of exercise apparatus! Hold the basket above you head, and lift upwards and back down. Do at least three repetitions of fifteen lifts each. If it is too heavy for you, all you have to do is take out some clothes. This exercise will work your shoulders, upper arms, and upper back muscles. Vary this workout by laying flat on your back, and lifting the basket up and down from your chest.

Women are always competing with each other. We should embrace our uniqueness and start respecting one another. We are so afraid there are not enough spotlights to go around. Stand back sometimes, the world doesn't have to see you every minute. Take a break and let someone else shine, without you trying to stop their flow. Its not about you all the time. And before you know it will be your turn again!

1 can peaches

Exercise
Relaxation Through Meditation
Meditating is actually easier than you might imagine. Most of us have dabbled in meditation by participating in conscious relaxation. Maybe during an exercise class or to manage pain at the dentist or anxiety before a test. We start by paying attention to our breathing. The practical effort to focus completely on our breathing takes our minds away from the "mind clutter" that constantly tries to invade our mind and eliminate feelings that will lead to a time of calm. With repeated effort the goal of clearing your mind – to think of nothing, does occur and the process of meditation takes on its own energy. The result is, and I guarantee this, peace, serenity, calmness, eventually opening yourself to new insights.
Insight
When we love sin, it impossible for us to love God. You cannot serve two masters. The first commandment, Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind. We fight against it because we love sin. We don't want God to tell us what to do, because God requires moral standards. We cannot be double minded. Either we will love the one and hate the other. So by the renewing of your mind and being born again, you can choose to love God and not the other which keeps you in the world and in sin. The world did not die for us and will not die for us. Yet God who loves us when we do not love ourselves, sent His one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to save us from ourselves. To die on the cross, so that we may live, and live life more abundantly, through Christ Jesus. Do not give your life to people and things, which are never satisfied or satisfying. Instead give your life to God, who loves you because you were made in His image and you are His own. Which will you choose, Life or Death?

Ask A Thick Chick
Okay, I guess I just need to vent. My ex and I broke up about 5 months ago. We went from a full time relationship of course , dissolving the bond we once said would be forever because he cheated over and over again: However I recently have been hearing that he is spreading rumors about me, stating that I'm crazy and I drive by his new girlfriends house, whom I so happen to know and who so happens to live 5 minutes from my house. Oh and she lives on a major connecting street. When I heard about this from a very reliable source, I was angry for a while. Then I thought about it. He cheated, not once, not twice, but way too many times. I know I shouldn't have stayed with him that long. Obviously it's his loss, because he can't stop talking about me. Shame what effects a thick chick can have on you!

Exercise
Biceps Arm Curl
Materials needed: 2 3 lb. dumbbells
weighttraining.about.com
1.Hold a dumbbell in each hand at the sides with palms facing toward the side of the thigh and arms straight down.
2.Position the feet comfortably about shoulder width apart.
3.Brace the stomach muscles ready to lift the weight.
4.Lift one dumbbell toward the shoulder, rotating the arm as it moves up so that the palm with dumbbell is now facing upward (supine) and the elbow is pointing to the ground with the forearm almost vertical. One arm at a time is called a unilateral exercise.
5.Lower to the side position and perform the same movement with the other arm and continue to alternate until the set is complete.
6.A variation is to do the exercise bilaterally, that is with both arms at the same time. Refine the unilateral lift first before moving on to this exercise.
7.Try ten exercises with each arm for three sets. If this is too much to start with, don't reduce the weight but do five exercises with each arm.
Tip Of The Week
Check this out ladies!
I worked with this lady who didn't like to wear makeup. Some women are just like that. They either don't know how to apply it or they don't have the time to keep up with all the trendy colors out there. So one day she came to work, and I noticed something different about her. I asked, "what is different about you today, do you have on makeup?" She said, " no just some Vaseline™ on my eyelids, and on my lips as a gloss. " Come to find out she picked that tip up from a makeup artist. Somehow a thin layer of Vaseline™ on your eyelids and your lips will give the illusion that you have a natural glow. I've tried it and it works!

Hey ladies it's time again to Ask A Thick Chick!
I work at a corporate job and I notice the ratio of plus size women in higher positions verses the size two woman. Now I know there has to be more qualified big chicks out there. I mean I'm talking about a five to one ratio basically. I don't know how anyone else feels, but I mainly see the typical skinny wanna be boojie that are supposed to have all the degree's. No! They are just the one's being hired. Now I'm not pointing any fingers, but lets just say that it may be due to the men that hold the positions to hire. They just assume to give the job to someone pleasing to their eye before they will give it to the full figure chick who will work hard. Calling all my fat ladies, go out there and take your places back. We need more of you in corporate America!

Calling all my fat ladies, go out there and take your places back. We need more of you in corporate America!

Devotional
Lets not forget that there are others around us who need encouragement just as much as we do. We shouldn't be led by our eyes only. Everyone who smiles isn't always happy.

Tip Of The Week
Sometimes if you're feeling congested, get a jar of vicks vapor rub, open and place on the side of the tub, and run a hot shower. The vapors should mix with the steam and open your pores and your breathing passage way. You should wait a while before going outside in cool weather after using this method.

Ask A Thick Chick
Listen Ladie's,
You know and I know we've all had those days where we just felt low about ourselves because of our weight. Just when you say I'm gonna accept me no matter what anyone else thinks of me, because I'm beautiful. Then all of a sudden you will see someone on t.v., or you are in a mall and a female with a slender shapley body will walk pass. And it's not that you're jealous, but deep down inside even though you tell yourself that you're beautiful, you haven't become truly satisfied with yourself and the little bit of esteem you built up goes right out the window.
Well ladies, let me tell you right now that YOU are beautiful! Don't covet what other's have. Just know you are uniquely designed. There will always be small, medium, and large frames. Embrace your thickness. Look at yourself in the mirror and say I love you and I am beautiful. There is not one other person exactly like YOU! Your design is just for you. Love it, dress it up, and most importantly take care of it. Finally, just remember you were given MORE. You are a SHE PLUS Diva!

Exercise
I recently joined a gym, and find it is really unnecessary when there are exercises you can do at home. This week we will focus on stretches. This is good for circulation and beginners. I'm still at the beginner stage LOL.
How to stretch properly
When done properly, stretching can do more than just increase flexibility it can:
enhanced physical fitness
enhanced ability to learn and perform skilled movements
increased mental and physical relaxation
enhanced development of body awareness
reduced risk of injury to joints, muscles, and tendons
reduced muscular soreness
reduced muscular tension
1. Warm up
2. Stretch
3. Cool down

Poem
PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Tip Of The Week
Ladies,
Sometimes I find when the weather starts to get warm, I sweat more under my breast. So by trial and error I would try like baby powder or baking soda to stop the perspiration: however these things did not work. They would turn into clumpy balls and would irritate my skin. So one day while shopping for deodorant, while I always knew this but I recognized the antiperspirant logo on the front of the bottle a light bulb went off! Deoderant was the answer to all my problems. It stopped me from sweating under my arms, why wouldn't it stop the sweat from under my breast. So I tried it and it works wonders. Just one swipe of the secret solid under each breast will hold me all day long!
