Community Profile

This is a community for fen (science fiction fans) who want to be healthier. Not skinnier - healthier. The main point is to be a supportive community for those of us who want to be healthier by exercising. It is NOT specifically about "diet" - in fact many of you may not "diet" at all. Feel free to discuss eating issues, mindful eating, healthy food choices... but this isn't about what OTHER people think you need to do to be healthy - it's about what YOU feel you need to do for your health and how we can all support each other!!

Likewise discussion of and support of other healthy choices is quite welcome including but not limited to: meditation, yoga, laughing, taking time for yourself, stress reduction..

There is now a "Healthy Fen" group on The President's Challenge which is fun way for us to more easily track our exercise progress and encourage each other etc. Thanks to Debbie Ohi for the pointer to that site!

Finally - part of this includes letting other community members know your aim, icq, yahoo messenger, msn messenger, etc... IDs so we can all ping each other randomly to see if we're living our goals (whatever those are). If you want to be on that list post your goals along with your chat info (or point us to your user profile if it is there). Then we can add you to the list. (anybody got better ideas on how to make that work?)

Lastly - here's a quote that pretty much sums up what I think this community is about:

"Celebrate the small, solid gains you can make, and don’t dwell on the ones you can’t make yet. And take heart from knowing that you are not alone.” (Laurel’s Kitchen p.26)
