Sonoma County Health At Every Size®

I support the five principles of HAES℠:

1. Accepting and respecting the diversity of body shapes and sizes.

2. Recognizing that health and well-being are multi-dimensional and that they include physical, social, spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects.

3. Promoting all aspects of health and well-being for people of all sizes.

4. Promoting eating in a manner which balances individual nutritional needs, hunger, satiety, appetite, and pleasure.

5. Promoting individually appropriate, enjoyable, life-enhancing physical activity, rather than exercise that is focused on a goal of weight loss.

Here is an excerpt from my book Don't Weight that tells about the author:

The headline of the article about me read: “From Vegetable to Dynamo”. Why would they talk about me that way? Sure, I was in a car accident in 1991, resulting in a head injury causing me to sleep 20-22 hrs a day. Yes, I had to learn how to talk and how to think all over again (fascinating!). I was not a vegetable. I was healing, thinking, planning, and figuring out HOW to continue to be ME, even with the head trauma. I was a dynamo that just looked like a vegetable!

I thought the headline should have read: “While She Was Sleeping”, because that is when I decided to mortgage my home to pay for launching my web sites www.plussizeyellowpages.com and www.KellyBliss.com.

The internet, video, and books would let me reach people even if I was coping with uncontrolled epilepsy. Over time as I focus on my own healing, I also produced twelve workouts called Fitness with Bliss™. I designed Healthy Eating with Bliss™, Lifestyle Coaching, and wrote - Don't Weight, Eat Healthy and Get Moving NOW! My next book was a print version of my directory Plus Size Yellow Pages - THOUSANDS of Resources for living large in a small world.

While I was sleeping is when I figured out how to keep being my best self and contributing, even if I have many seizures a day.

I have given over my life to bring the message of Health for ALL Sizes to the people who need it. My work with larg

Lifelong Bay Area resident and advocate of Health At Every Size (r) in Sonoma County for a decade.

I'm passionate about joining with others in the Health At Every Size movement and the eating disorder recovery community, in Sonoma County and beyond, in sharing information with health care providers, public agencies, decision makers, and the general public about both the lack of evidence for promoting weight loss, and the extensive evidence that has given rise to the Health At Every Size approach to health.
