Hey, Fat Girl
I have to admit I teared up too. I go to the gym and run on the treadmill the whole time I am thinking is my butt jiggling too much or why did some cute girl or buff guy get on the treadmill behind me? When I read this I thought I am that girl I never look up and run to the car as soon as I am done. Maybe tomorrow I will smile and say hi to the people around me.
This blog post is awesome. I came across this quite some time ago and have it bookmarked and refer back to it often. I *AM* a very insecure fat girl, who has isolated them self away from friends and family and hardly go out anymore. So the fact that this person took the time to write such a thing, really is amazing. It's nice to be noticed for what we CAN do and are TRYING to do and not just seen as a fat person and assumed to be lazy.
I am 6'2" and 250 pounds and I am sitting here with tears running down my cheeks. That was beautiful. I wish more people had that attitude when they see a heavy person trying to better themselves. Atta boy girl!!!
