A good friend of mine posted the link to this blog post today.
I had a hard time explaining to my co-workers why I was crying.
I imagine that many of us here can relate to this, and draw strength from the message.

Thank you for posting this. I am on Week 4 of C25k and terribly self-conscious. I tell myself to run like no-one else is there to see how silly I look, or how amazing slow I am. Reading the post Hey, Fat Girl was really inspiring, and helps me remember that there are people out there who understand and are not judging my size or speed, but acknowledging the fact I am doing something positive.
Again, thank you (and your friend).0 -
This turned me to tears. Thanks for sharing.0

So glad this is still being read.
I have to say, that since reading this for the first time, my attitude has changed so much. I am PROUD to run now, and I actually am enjoying seeing better, fitter, runners because I now look at them as inspiration, not as though they are judging me.0 -

That's amazing.. Made me smile sooo much0

I"m so happy that this is touching people as it touched me.
I read it every few days for inspiration.
I was thinking the last time I read it...I wonder if some of those other runners, were "the fat girl" when they started. I imagine that there are a fair amount of people that we see running that were at one time, like us.
I'm getting there. My confidence is increasing, and this blog piece sure made me look at other runners differently. Without fear.0 -
This was me, on the treadmill today. I am in tears! How moving. I think we all need to give ourselves a bit more credit0
