The times I've been to Weight Watchers and places like that, I've enjoyed the support group/brainstorming part of it, where someone can come in with an issue -- "I'm going to a family potluck next week and I'm really worried about being pressured to eat too much," or something like that -- and the rest of the group can help think of solutions. But I've hated the sort of sloganeering infantilizing quality of the leadership, and I've found very little support for the social issues faced by queers, especially the questioning of beauty norms.

So it occurred to me: would anybody be interested in some sort of weekly get-together, maybe in the back room of a restaurant or library, where we could provide the good stuff for one another without the nasty corporate values? We could do weigh-ins if people found that appropriate, or not, or we could keep them optional. We could brainstorm solutions for eating and exercise issues, maybe find workout buddies, stuff like that. While it wouldn't be restricted to GLBT folks, we'd start by advertising it in our own communities; if hets felt like it was the right place for them, they could join us.

Does this pique anybody else's interest?
