Now Hear This!

I'm really sick of all the hate talk lately. Specifically about weight. I find it appalling that people think it's just fine to be critical of anyone who is overweight. What business is it of yours? People think they're "helping" by telling people that they are fat, that they need to "stop being so lazy", and making comments like "Spandex is a privilege, not a right".

IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!!!!

Stop pretending that people need to be "shocked into taking better care of themselves". You don't know someone else's story, and even if you do - shaming someone is NOT the way to show you care. 

I'm disgusted every time I hear or read the hurtful things people say, behind the fiction that they're trying to improve peoples health.

I realize that it's not going to be a popular opinion for a trainer to have, but I'm jumping on the "body acceptance" bandwagon.

And by the way, next time I hear some jerk make a sick old woman feel bad because of her weight I'm going to punch them in the mouth.

I hate my body

I hate the fact that I hate my body.
I hate the softness. I hate the roundness of my belly. I hate the stretchmarks and scars from having babies.
That being said - my body is strong and healthy. It's tall and curvy. It allows me to play with my kids and dance and have sex. My body can walk for miles without getting tired, it can dance all night. It can run a group and then train an evenings worth of clients before going home and tossing the baby in the air.
My body is strong. It does so much. I wish I could just accept the "imperfections" as the physical signs of experience that they really are.
