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.
