    I love this! I've been known to yell out my car window at girls jogging down the street, no matter what size, "you go girl!". My husband thinks I'm nuts, but I KNOW how hard that is. I still can't do it after working out for 3 months... Fat Girl Power! We're out there, we just have to show ourselves, and not just hide in the corners. :happy:

    ^^This is awesome, as is the original post! :drinker:

    Thanks so much for posting this! It is exactly what I need t hear today. I am on week five of the C25K and I get lapped several times by people when I'm running around the track! So it really hit home and made me shed a tear :smile:

    As a previously really fat guy trying to run ...There are times when I see this man/woman and I see my former self in them. I always encourage them...Eye contact or not. I always tell them to keep pushing they are doing awesome. I hope deep inside they never quit. I hope it helps them realize they are going to be successful

    I love when I see fat out of shape, old whatever people running or out doing things.

    I just want to give them a hug and say. "Hey welcome to life! Its great, we have flowers, and trees, and beer on weekends."

    I usually just end up giving a nod and hair flinging sweat at them. oops. sorry.

    *sniff* That's me. The fat girl at the gym who goes out of her way to avoid people, not make eye contact, pick the machines in the last row, and thinks everyone there, who is in shape, is looking at me.

    I think something like this every time I see someone (anyone) out slogging through exercise.

    Well done!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE that thank you so much for sharing!
    it took me years to have the courage to leave the curtains open in my own home to workout, to have that natural light and breeze without the cringing feeling that the whole world was looking in and laughing at me, telling me to 'give up and have a cookie fatty'. now i know different and i hope that others do to, never be ashamed to try and know that all those before you, know the journey, the struggle and the benefits of getting up each day and just doing it as you can!
