I Will Not Conform! I Refuse to Fit into Your Little Box!
Debbie Hatch | Family & F.I.T. This could easily turn into a rant! It’s something I’m quite passionate about but I’m going to try to get my point across logically and with slightly less emotion than I feel.

Debbie Hatch | Family & F.I.T. Unless you follow Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), you might not know who Ronda Rousey is.

GET OFF THE CRAZY TRAIN! Stop this diet & exercise insanity.
Debbie Hatch | Family & F.I.T. I’ve received a few e-mails over the last couple of days that I feel I need to address publicly. There are a billion “nutritional programs” out there.
