About an hour worth. I went on a big long walk today with a friend. It's been really hot lately and I just can't bring myself to go out and exercise in 90+ degree weather. That's just insane.
Thankfully, in Utah it cools down at night. We walked for about an hour in the cool night air and it was beautiful.
Sadly, it reminded me just how out of shape I am. I NEED this.
Today on a message board someone started a topic about obese people. Said things like, "Why is it that they just let themselves go? Do they just resign themselves to being single forever? Do they just not care anymore?"
That was a bit difficult to read. I mean, it's about the most insensitive thing you can say - to assume that the only reason someone is fat is because they don't care. Because they've let themselves go.
So yeah, I have let myself go. But there's a whole lot more to it. Those struggles that I have - the same as any girl growing up - well, I dealt with them by eating. Some people exercise obsessively. Some people drink or smoke or do drugs. Some people eat their way through their insecurities and pain.
It's terrible to think that people actually believe the bad stereotypes out there. I hate that anyone still has to deal with this stuff. Talk about a bummer.
Thank goodness the majority of people are smarter/more understanding/kinder in their curiosity and opinions.
Thank goodness for good friends who will walk slowly with me as I begin this journey.

"Some people eat their way through their insecurities and pain."...and stress and boredom...
ReplyDeleteAnd, honey, you have already begun the journey. It is ON! Full on! Keep up the progress. You're giving me great tips and inspiration!
You could respond with the following: Why is it that they are so insecure about their own faults that they have to pick on the weaknesses of others? Do they just resign themselves to being thoughtless and ignorant forever? Do they just not care anymore?"
