Why is this even remotely controversial?

I never met any obese people who have excuses. we dont need to explain ourselves to any of you. We don't owe you anything.
My sarcasmometer didn't go off on this one...
...which means either you're serious...
...or I need to have this usually remarkably accurate piece of expensive machinery recalibrated.
Which is it?
She is exceptionally serious. I bumped into her earlier this week. Im still trying to explain the interaction to my brain - she doesnt get it yet.
Yoovie why would you subject your brain to that kind of interaction in the first place. I for one feel sorry for your grey matter!0 -
This is not controversial at all. People are going way to deep on this. I wouldn't even apply this solely to mothers, women, or even fitness.
Put simply: If you are alive, (hopefully) you have goals. What's holding you back from those goals?
Why does everyone get their little feelings hurt all of the damn time? Someone achieving their goals does not diminish you. It should inspire you.0 -

So that means that she has truly never met an obese person with excuses??? I have.
Full disclosure: I've also met plenty of not-obese people with excuses too, so I don't want it to seem like I'm singling anyone out unfairly...but to say with a straight face that she (or anyone, really) has *never* met any obese people who have excuses is mind-boggling. It defies all...uh, all things that shouldn't be defied.
she says obese people are only obese for actual reasons.0 -
So, to sum it all up
Fit mom is fit, doesn't use children, work, or disabled husband as excuse.
Other mommies/fatties (Yeah, I said fatties) get mad and pull out a whole lot of reasons to discredit said fit mom
She must not have gained any real weight while preggo. She must have nannies/help. She must be neglecting her kids. She must be lying about he amount of work she puts in. She's victimizing women. She's trying to tell me I have to look like her! Well after I had MY baby I couldn't have thisthatandthethird.
And it all boils down to even in a thread where someone is saying "Don't make excuses, just do!" people are still making excuses.
Did I miss anything?
The question then becomes, WHO exactly was she targeting? The obese? The slightly overweight? The person with 5 pounds to lose? Should someone who is only a few pounds overweight be subjected to scrutiny?
Additionally, if "fit mom" is going to put herself in the public eye with a statement (photo) like that, she should have skin thick enough to endure the court of public opinion, which tends to execute anyone with even the slightest hint of self righteousness, regardless of intent.
It almost seems like a well executed publicity stunt.
I am willing and glad to be a target for this.0 -

she was targeting the people that follow her facebook page
ETA - also - her skin is thick and she isnt complaining about the whiners or probably even giving a frak.
also, this picture has been around for over a year.0 -

I just turned on the radio and this is being discussed.
People are saying she is neglectful to her children. Lawl.
People are ridiculous. A woman takes some time for herself and she's neglecting her children? :grumble:0 -

I am obese because I was a fatty who didn't want to stop drinking 2L of Mountain Dew or get off *kitten* and go to the gym. I kept saying "maybe next week" and kept making excuses to put it off.0 -
I think those are her Nutella brownies...Achyra - what the hell is on your ticker? Are those cookies? LOL
I still haven't tried making them yet. 0 -

So by extension, this means that you (and anyone else who was once overweight but are no longer) have managed to cure an actual condition (and didn't just sack up and make it happen)...
...so, uh, congratulations on overcoming your medical affliction...I guess.
Edit: because "affliction" is more appropriate than "diagnosis".0 -

Like, they consumed a whole lot more calories than they burned. Actual reason. (Except that everyone is that special snowflake with thryroid issues or the mythical slow metabolism :huh: )0 -
I imagine she's always looked like that, making body recovery quicker and easier, so not taking away as much time from her kids as someone going from 300 lbs to where she is now in 8 months.
The reason I think that is because her husband apparently was tapping that as soon as the 6-wk recovery period ended after each pregnancy was over. Who can blame him?0 -
