Meet other local men and women who are overweight and proud.
We will discuss political, social, legal and health issues affecting our way of life. Come exhibit some "plus sized positivity", vent our common frustration, share solutions about daily problems, and develop plans for dealing with the BMI-impaired "normies" of the world.
This is NOT a romantic/dating group/place to "hook up" with other BBW/BHM, or SSBBW/BHM (although who knows what love will bloom on your own time . . . ).

JUNE MEETING AGENDA
1. Introduction of new members
2. This week's topic -- How do you handle comments by others about your weight? Ignore them, request an apology, try for a snappy comeback, stew over them in private? The goal of this discussion will be empowerment -- owning your right to be who you want to be, and to live how you want to live (however that may be). Read more
