    I love this. When i see heavy people working out I telepathically say good work and don't give up... But I don't think they here me becaus they never say anything back.


    Never be imbaressed to work out.

    That's just awesome...sometimes I just wanna hi-five people out on the path when I'm running the other way but I'm sure that'd look a bit strange.

    I know I'd think it a bit weird if that open hand was running straight toward me...

    I know how this feels. I'm barely walking 3.5 mph on the treadmill, while the chick next to me is running full speed, at, like 20 mph? Lol, I don't know. But even if no one cares, I am doing this for mr. Still can't meet peoples gaze, but, you know what? I am on my way.

    Encouraged imho. How else will they know they're fatties? By looking in the mirror? The mirror developed by the government to make them delusional about their weight?

    bump. because everyone should see this. And if you read it and still think you're better than everyone and make snarky comments "just to get a rise out of someone", then you just don't get it. And I feel bad for you. I was fat shamed growing up and let me tell you, it hurts more than you can imagine. Fat people can lose the weight once they empower themselves, but jerks will always be jerks.

    And that's okay! All that matters is you--not the chick next to you on the treadmill, not any dude at the gym, no one. :) Besides, you'll be running at full speed soon enough if you just keep at it! ;)
    Keep going, okay?
    Good luck!

    I'm always more impressed by someone weighing 300+ in the gym who stays there for more than 30 minutes. Because when I was that big I was tapping out by the 30 minute mark.

    Maybe I'm just hormonal but this made me cry. I walk on the path behind my house every single day. Most days I wear my sunglasses so I don't have to make eye contact. By the time I get home, my face is beet red and I'm sweaty. I keep waiting for the day it's as easy as everyone else makes it look.

    Thanks for this post. It's nice to know some people appreciate the efforts of others.

    I'm really not sure how I feel about this.

    Wouldn't a "Guy out running and struggling............hey, you got this" be better than all that stuff in the middle that just sounds like shaming disguised as a compliment?

    I don't really think in terms like this when I see other people working out. I get more fleeting thoughts of "I love seeing other people work out" but not all the schlepping and trudging business.

    But if it makes others feel good, then, um, yay, I guess.

    I've never read something that was offensive in its attempt to be positive and uplifting. I get where it's coming from but at the same time, I can't stop shaking my head at it.
