    This is EXACTLY how I feel when I run next to a larger woman. I wish she'd look up at me because I'm giving her an encouraging smile and respecting her SO much. I'm glad she put this out there.

    Wow!

    I'd been checking the boards for motivation, tips, insights, etc. today, but not quite finding any person or situation that matched mine.

    Then I saw the title for this thread and somewhat expected to see a flame war. Au contraire! This was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you, aallison85, so much for posting!!! And to the rest of you awesome people: keep up the good work! :)

    Thank you. I needed to read that, I'm the Fat Girl, and know exactly how it feels, trying not to be noticed at the gym. Thanks, that helped today.

    I may not run but I do other things to exercise and this resonated so much with me.



    I love that I am changing my life and how I think about health and exercise. It's so true..."Change Your Attitude and You Will Change Your Life!"



    I used to pray God would make me skinny...that He would help me make better eating choices...I was praying the wrong prayer.....



    I started Praying "GOD...Please change my attitude about health, nutrition and exercise! Help me to WANT IT...Help me to do it!"



    And One Day At A Time I am working towards a better me. I wish and hope everyone wants to be a better person!~



    Love yourself! Thank you so much for posting this! It's truly AWESOME~! :smile:



    Peace & Blessings,



    Tami

    You can do it. The more times you go, the more proud you are of yourself.

    This made me cry, because I am that fat girl, that never wants to be in the presence of more fit people while I exercise, so I just don't exercise. But maybe now I will, I've always wanted to be a runner, but my "out-of-shapeness" has always prevented me and I've never known where to start. I guess I just need to move....

    Such a great blog post.

    I'm finally starting to get to the point where I don't think people are staring at me thinking "what the hell is she doing 'trying' to run" or "she must have JUST started coming to the gym" and it's taken me quite a bit of time to get there.

    Such a motivating post.
