FAT = Lazy

My least favorite stereotype about people who are overweight is that we are lazy. I am so far from lazy that I have to actually practice relaxing.

As a full-time working single mom with two children and one of them with a chronic illness I hardly ever stop.
I get more done by noon time then most people get done all day.

I move all day long, I just didn't exercise before, when I moved my intention was not to lose weight but just get everything done. I eat more calories then I need and I don't always choose the best foods but even 'skinny' people have those same habits. Not all skinny people are healthy or non-lazy.

    I know what you mean totally. Granted I sit at a desk for my job, but I have 3 boys all under the age of 7 and I am constantly on the go. I barely stop moving to eat dinner and I am always doing housework or some other kind of chore....oh and working out now that I am trying to get myself more in shape. But, yes, the stereotyping is awful!!

    Other people's opinon = who cares! I have been called fat and I say "really, you figure that out all by yourself?" Laugh and walk away. I don't give another thought about it. The people that know you and what you do, know you're not lazy and most likely they are the ones that you care about. The rest of them just ignore.

    I gained weight from being lazy. Too lazy too cook and too lazy to exercise.
