in Chit-Chat
thought this might be fun...people always seem to be judging others for one reason or another--not necessarily negatively but often times they're wrong...

for me it's that...
1. I eat well over 2000 calories almost every single day.
2. I can squat almost 100 pounds, row ~70, deadlift ~90 (...keep in mine I'm less than 100 pounds)
3. I don't have a boyfriend --hey, many people assume I'm taken. Not so.
4. I eat loads of crappy foods--okay, really it's just my snacks that are shocking--lots of string cheese, frozen yogurt, chips, basically anything i want that fits into my calories--no diet here.

what are the assumptions people make/get wrong about you based on looking at your body?

    Nice Topic Love!

    1. I have really bad stretch marks on my stomach from my pregnancies that used to terrorize me, but I'm starting to accept them along with the rest of my body. Age has done wonders for my self awareness and acceptance.
    2. I can do 3 strict, deadhang pull-ups and I squat 165.
    3. I don't diet and typically eat around 2,200 cals per day.
    4. I'm not naturally thin - not even close. I bust my *kitten* every single day to achieve the results I want.
    5. I really like wine and cheese and have both every single day.
