derby womyn unite

I have been a member of Calorie Count for a couple years and also have been involved in our local Derby league  for the last 2.

Derby is amazing, hard work where you can meet incredible womyn, kick your own ****, as well as take out your aggressions and establish friendships that will last a lifetime.  However, it is also a culture that also often incourages lots of partying, drinking, eating and general indulgences. While i love derby because it is all about promoting womyn to be strong and to love their bodies no matter what they look like, it often leaves those of us who are trying to become "more healthy" feeling isolated or like we are betraying the "culture" of the sport.

I am so glad to see some fellow derby chicks on here and look forward to finding and reaching our goals together.

Hugs and Bruises
