Fat Shaming

I have heard this term a thousand times, why does it bother me so much? 
  • Men and women who workout did not invent this term.
  • In my life, I have NEVER called anyone fat.
  • I believe that ANYONE can accomplish their goals with dedication and hard work.
  • Those who follow a nutrition program are criticized for making better choices.
  • Those who workout to feel good about themselves are called; vain, egotistical, douche bags, meat heads, jocks, arrogant, skinny bitch and the list goes on!
  • We are judged because we don’t go out to party, because we rarely drink alcohol, because we don’t do drugs.
  • We are judged because we take progress pictures, because competitors flex in front of the mirror, because at shows we are referred to as ‘strutting our stuff in g-strings’.
  • When admiring the hard work someone has done to accomplish a competition physique, the reactions are the same, “THAT’S SO GROSS”.
  • Women are called ‘Men’
  • While eating, every time, someone comes up and asks if I am going to eat that….followed by a retch sound when I do.
  • Because I never let failure get to me, therefore its up to some to try their best to bring me down, when it doesn’t work, I am considered cocky.
  • I bring the best in people, people show their worst to me.
  • Because THIS IS ME!

Take a minute to think about these responses before you believe someone is shaming you, they might just believe in you! They might just want to help you! Here are some statistics to look over.

  • 70% of the adult population is overweight.
  • 35% of the 70% are obese.
  • 25% of the population is at risk of heart disease.
  • 80% of the people do not get enough exercise.
  • 44% of the population eat fast food once a week.
  • 25% eat fast food every day!
  • 70% of the country are on prescriptions.
It is time to make a change for YOURSELF! Exercise, sun, B6, reducing sugar, eating more protein will release more SEROTONIN! You will feel better about yourself, you will also stop worrying about what the ‘other guy’ is doing and be more concerned with YOU.  
We are not FAT SHAMING but those who have attacked me are FIT SHAMING! It’s time to wake up, find a new way to change yourself, emotionally and physically.  You wouldn’t believe how much support you really have throughout the journey!
