I read an article about body image that my bestie (love you, Sarah!) had liked on Facebook before lunch, and it sent me into a word-spewing rage. It wasn't so much the article itself, but all of the comments that followed it. I guess because I am working SO hard to get this weight off, I get upset when I see people being complacent about being overweight. Since we all seem to be obese in America, we keep trying to make it okay to be obese by saying things like, "I'm just curvy" or "I'm a big girl, and I love my body." Now, it is not wrong to love yourself no matter your current condition, but I think it is wrong to make excuses to just stay fat because that is easier. Barring some medical condition, there is NO excuse to be unhealthily overweight!!!
At this point I would like to switch gears for a moment to say that I do not accept the medical BMI chart as anything but total fiction. That chart does not account for how muscular someone may be or anything.
I will know I am at a healthy weight when I don't have flab flappin' all over the place, not when that flippin' chart says so!!!
Anyway, my excessive hunger before I ate my lunch sent me into this downward spiral of negativity. It is ALL just SO frustrating ... losing weight, hearing about losing weight, being told what is the right weight ... ALL OF IT!!
Losing weight is hard ... WAAAAAAAA! (That is what my brain says all day, everyday.)
I've never been okay with being overweight. I know my body is capable of being a healthy size, and I'm going to take it there KICKING AND SCREAMING!!
***END RANT***
