4th and 5th rubbed me in a wrong way. I don't see the point to put down a whole group of people to motivate/make oneself feel better. But I have to say I loved the last one! Briliant!0 -

Each of the pictures is in effect putting down a group of people:
1) Those that don't work
2) Those that don't move
3) Those that don't eat clean, train mean, and aren't lean
4) Procrastinators!
5) Those with fat stomachs
etc.
Some don't want to be lazy - so there is pro-exercise one for them
Some don't want to be skinny - so there's a pro-fitness one for them
Some don't want to be fat - so there's a pro-healthy eating one for them
If you want to be fat then fine, ignore the posters that motivate those that don't want to be fat
If you want to be skinny then fine, ignore the posters that motivate those that don't want to be skinny0 -
But why is skinny and fit mutually exclusive here? All this "Fit is the new skinny" "Skinny looks good in clothes, fit looks good naked" "I want to be fit and healthy not skinny" .. all of this imply that you have to be one or another. are yoga teachers or rock climbers or long distance runners not fit and healthy? They are and yet they are skinny. That's why I said that it rubbs me in a wrong way. Why can't it be profitness yet not bashing thin people?0

They're not mutually exclusive, the point it's making is that one should aspire to be fit, not skinny.
"Fit is the new skinny" is born from the realisation that it is no longer wise to promote 'skinny' as being a sensble goal. It isn't a yoga teachers goal to be skinny, it's to be fit, healthy and supple. It isn't a rock climbers goal to be skinny, it's to be strong, fit, athletic, powerful and flexible. It isn't a long distance runner's goal to be skinny, it's to be fit, have endurance, and have a lean phisique.
It's not bashing skinny people,, it's bashing people whose sole aim is to be skinny regardless of anything else. That's not a healthy goal.0 -

Exactly. It's not that people say skinny is bad. "All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square" remember that saying from elementary school? You can be fit, healthy, and skinny, but being skinny doesn't mean you are fit, and can often mean you are unhealthy.
Thanks for the motivational pictures Needed them this morning!! 0 -

Not only that but, just because your skinny, doesnt mean your fit! My Step-Sister isnt fat and has been skinny for most of her life and she will be the FIRST to tell you that she is far from fit and is SO FAR from being in shape!
Aspring to be skinny can sometimes lead to those with Eating Disorders as well. It is mainly saying that you should look at being healthy and not just skinny. Being fit and healthy will LEAD to being "skinny" for YOU!!
Not stereotyping myself but, I KNOW if I am Skinny, I wont look right because of my broad stature...but, being healthy and fit I will look amazing!0 -
"Skinny looks good in clothes, fit looks good naked" - how is that not bashing? You put those two things as contradiction. It is either this or that.
I am perfectly awear that there are people who can be categorised as skinny who are not fit at all and I personally know people like that. Just like there are crazy build guys gym bunnies who created those muscles with a strong help from steroids or hormones. Yet, I don't see anyone writing how they want to be healthy and not muscled. It is the same thing. You can be unhealthy at any shape or size, yet it is skinny people that you guys single out.0 -

Ok there is a certain ammount of genaralisation that has to take place - has to for the sake of motivational pictures! "Nothing will work unless you do" is great motivation but I'm sure it isn't factually ciorrect for everyone!
Skinny looks good in clothes, fit looks good naked is making the point that GENERALLY fit will look good naked. Skinny might, but might not
As for the point about muscles. You don't think steroid users get singled out? I have honestly never seen a single comment that condones steroid use! They're widely frowned upon.
"I want bigger muscles" infers that the person wants to gain muscles healthily - not to inject themselves with steroids
"I want to be a faster runner" infers they want to train harder - not to take enhancing drugs
"I want a promotion" infers that someone wants to work his way up the ladder - not to murder the boss!
They don't need singling out - the inferrence is there0 -
Ok, I guess we won't agree. you don't find anything wrong with this, I do.
I guess I will just post the stuff I find motivational and inspiring that are not singling one or bashing any body type.

Yep the victory is quite sweet. I love it. The journey is well worth it when you achieve your goal. And all the tools you learn along the way are not a waist of time. They all come into play in maintenance. Everything you do now is merely honing your sword for the battle and you still have to keep it sharp when maintaining. It's a lifelong journey.0

Love them all!!!!!!!!!! Thanks :happy:0
