After reading Determined Girl's post asking why you want to lose the weight I became quite angry. It is a fantastic post. I read it with tears in my eyes as the replies moved me. Reading about those people in the gym and their comments towards Luce made me sooooooo mad! How bloody dare they say those things.
The majority of people who are overweight are not overweight just because they love food. 9 times out of 10 people over eat because of other problems. They may have health problems that slow down metabolism and make it harder to stay slim. They may have family problems, relationships problems, mental health problems and eating is a way to escape, a feel good factor, a comfort that becomes a vicious circle that is so difficult to break. A lot of people have been brow beaten and just accept their lot. They are told they are fat and useless, so they start to believe that is what they are, and that is all life has to offer them. It's just not fair.
These people who make these comments don't have the brains to ask themselves why fat people are the way they are. They live in insular worlds, full of their own self importance and they make my blood boil.
So for all you lovely people out there who have been at the receiving end of one of these idiots comments, jibes, sniggers, ridicules etc, just remember this - Very soon you will conform to their ideal. Very soon you will be at your goal weight but you'll be there with a good, kind heart and an acceptance of everyone regardless of their size. You'll have achieved all that through hard work and determination and you'll have done it for yourself.
Do me a favour please. When you reach goal and are looking fabulous, go out of your way to find someone who has mocked you in the past, walk past them with your head held high and the confidence of a cheetah wanting to catch a tortoise. Say nothing but glance back to see their expression. Priceless.
Oh and if you're like me - Give them the finger (I know I should just rise above but I just can't help myself!)
I'm off now to cover myself in No7 Protect & Perfect because I'm worth it.
