JANUARY - It's hard to believe another year has passed us already. Again, we sit down and reflect on the year we, our family and the world has had and hope that the new year will be bright, prosperous and healthy for everyone involved. There will always be bad things that happen but it's how we decide to cope with them that is important. Hug your family and friends and remember to tell them how much you love and appreciate having them in your life. From the writers at SSBBW Magazine we wish you health and happiness for 2019. Thank you for continuing to read our magazine.

IN THIS ISSUE....

	How to Deal with Post-holiday Stress in the Health/Fitness section.		"Butter vs. Margarine: Which one is healthier?" in our Health at Every Size section.

Each month we feature simple exercises you can do at home and without buying fancy expensive equipment. Check out our youtube videos in the Exercise section.
We started a new section called Letters to the Editor where we will share some of the comments we've received from readers.
Another feature is our "Funny Quote of the Day" so be sure to keep coming back to the Funny Bone.

Please stop by for a while and peruse our pages. Visit our forums and join in the discussions. We have a board For Females Only where you can discuss sensitive and intimate issues and a new FAs Only Board. Only registered forum members who email us for access to these boards will be able to read and join them.

As always, this magazine is for you and by you. We are always looking for input from our readers, both SSBBWs and FAs. If you have suggestions, comments or want to see something specific let us know. And if you have something to say that you want our readers to see, send it in. Whether it's about your favorite store for clothes, a great book, poem or movie you want to review for us, whether you have something to say about acceptance or weightloss or just have a story to tell, please feel free to contact us.

So sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy your stay.
