Beach hazards statement for Erie County until early Wednesday morning

At 4:03 a.m. on Tuesday, the National Weather Service released a beach hazards statement valid from 10 a.m. until Wednesday 4 a.m. for Erie County.

Asking Eric: How do I explain my weight loss without sharing my medical history?

Eric: If you feel compelled to elaborate, you can say, ‘there are a lot of factors that contributed to my weight gain and weight loss.’

Asking Eric: Is it really anyone’s business how I lost weight after perimenopause struggles?

I also had to be diligent about diet and exercise to get my weight back down once the uncontrollable hunger went away.

Asking Eric: I worked hard to lose weight, but everyone credits medication instead

No one is required to go into detail about their own body or health struggles.

Asking Eric: People assume I’m on weight loss drugs, but the truth is more complicated

Eric: If someone is asking you about weight loss drugs, it’s fair to simply say ‘no.’
