It has come out that she is active, works out 3 times a week and even runs some races, and that it is a thyroid condition that impacts her obesity. We try not to assume anything about anyone, rather just wanted to make sure the people we DID know, the people who ARE seeking our help, were aware that we will be tough on them, but that it comes from a good place! "Fighting the good fight" is appropriate. Thanks again and hope to see you soon ;)Fit with Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585789830370570721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861437133282138593.post-44665188174243415722012-10-03T12:11:10.478-04:002012-10-03T12:11:10.478-04:00Lindsey and Tim,
I see a major difference between ...Lindsey and Tim,<br />I see a major difference between what y'all do and what that man did. From talking with both of you(even though I haven't started yet), it appears to me that you want to share your experiences to help us get healthier. You've both been where we are and want to help us share in your success. On the other hand, this man appears to simply be judging her based on her size without knowing anything about her. He states that she should be setting an example for young people especially girls. So, a woman who is out in the world with a successful career making a life for her or her family who is obviously a self-confident, independant woman is not a good example ?? Really ?? What's our society coming to if that is the case. Obesity is a growing problem for our society and we are fortunate that people like you and Tim are willing to help us along. If either of you were to call me out on being lazy about not getting started, I would accept that. However, if a stranger, who knows nothing about me and what I deal with on a daily basis, said that I was fat and lazy, I would take offense to that. We don't know what she has to deal with on a regular basis. There are many reasons why people become overweight(I can create countless excuses for myself, lol). Honestly, if she stayed that size for the rest of her life but continued to be a good person and productive member of society, so be it. In closing, the encouragement y'all give is great......don't stop !! This man who sent the letter to her should take a close look at himself. While he may be skinny or in shape, I can guarantee that he is not perfect in every way because nobody is. I would be willing to bet that she has other parts of her life in order better than he does.....social skills being at the top of the list. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts.<br />Ed HearnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475301340654886801noreply@blogger.com
