I'm always shocked by people who shame me for being bad words like "healthy" or "fit" that they say in the most condescending tone I've ever heard. I work very hard to reach a healthy lifestyle and make good choices, all things we're told to do, and I refuse to feel guilty for it. I guess it's true what they say about people who point a finger, and have 4 more fingers pointing back at them.Kellyhttp://sallaboutme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554851097296150936.post-47824732489393826522013-11-01T17:22:57.055-04:002013-11-01T17:22:57.055-04:00Agreed.

I know we should be sensitive and not intensely bully people, but completely ignoring the subject isn't doing anybody favors.

I made a choice - a lifestyle choice. Am I perfect hell no, I still eat too many whoopie pies and like my chips pizza and beer too much, but at the same time I do something about it too. I get up and move, it is about taking responsibility for your actions and your own life, not letting others lead you by slick marketing campaigns or whatever the current PC trend or word usage is. There are reasons many of us get fat, some are beyond our control, but many reasons are not. Life is about choices - I have been fat and now choose not to be fat anymore.

I was tipping the scales at 390 a little over 18 months ago (228 today) it took a awesome friend to slap me with reality that I was cheating m wife and kids out of being a father and husband.I see obese people now and want to run up and show then my before pic and now and tell them it is possible. I live In the 2nd unhealthiest counties in California. I am doing my part just like you leading by example.

Having a healthy body (not necessarily a ripped, mucle-y, very low body fat but an average healthy body) and having society's values line up with being healthy should be a priority these days. I'm all for the "love your body" movement but love and respect yourself enough to treat your body in a healthy manner. <br />We need to take control of our own lives and realize what we're doing on a daily basis has an impact, whether we want to hear it or not. I find the most difficult thing for people to verbalize and admit is that if a young child is obese, it's most likely the parent's fault. Accept responsibility and then act appropriately. The child isn't driving to the grocery store to shop for their own food! Erin (Running Tall)http://running-tall.comnoreply@blogger.com
