The Skinny on Curves

[pasithea]

Cross-posting this to my own journal for friends. *sigh* This really ticks me off. :/ I'd seriously been considering joining Curves prior to seeing this:

Don't base my Planned Parenthood thing on what happened with one office, in one city, in 1994. I should have put that disclaimer.

They do a lot of good, it's just that I really have a hard time getting past what happened when I contacted them, back then. I had miscarried before I got pregnant, years before, and we had given up on concieving before I got pregnant (medical condition I had). So it really shook me up when they had that attitude.

(And it wasn't a pre-existing condition, everyone lived happily ever after.)

Curves sounded like a good idea, but the registration fee was a bit steep, and now I don't even live near one so the point is moot. I walk so much every day, I've been losing weight without trying. Not FAST, but it's coming off.
