Thin is/Fat is
 

I could think of any other place to put this, so I hope this is the right spot.

Knowing that thin isn't just a weight but a set of decisions along the way, was a very motivating thought for me. I created a list to show just how simple thin and fat is. Something I can look at and say "Am I deciding to be fat, or thin today?" I just wanted to share in hopes that it could motivate someone else.

It would also be pretty cool if you had a few of your own you wanted to add.
