So I really did not have an idea about what to blog
about today until I saw this letter being posted all over Facebook. The letter is supposedly what a lady in North
Dakota is handing out to the children who come to her door trick-or-treating
that are heavy (I guess if you are skinny you get candy, cause you know all
skinny people have a healthy relationship with food (WHATEVER)). This really
got me to thinking about several different things. I follow probably over 100 different fitness,
health related, weight loss sites.
Every
single person is fighting their own battle.
Some have lost 300 pounds and some are just beginning. Some are running full marathons and some are
just lucky they don’t need the electric cart at the grocery store anymore. I would like to think that I am innocent in
this. However as I was walking yesterday
a bicyclist passed me on the way my destination and on the way home. The bicyclist was all dressed up in that “professional”
biking clothes. My first thought was
that they probably wondered what a “fat” woman was doing out walking since they
were so fit and fancy. I got to thinking
more about my first reaction. I am
judging that bicyclist too. I don’t know
where he started his journey or how far he has come. We have to learn to stop judging people based
on outward appearances. We have no idea
what that person has or is going through.
This lady in North Dakota doesn't know the story of
each of those children who will walk up to her door. Who is she to judge which ones are healthy or
not based on their outward appearance?
There are people who weigh 125 pounds that have a food addiction just
like me at 312 pounds. We are all unique
individuals and cannot be compared to a set stereotype.
That is all I am going to say about this topic. I don’t want to get too much on a soap box,
but PLEASE BE KIND TO EVERYONE. I love
this song and I think it really relates to what I am talking about today.
In brighter news, tomorrow is my 1 year weigh-in at
Weight Watchers, so stay tuned for results!!!
Keep Losing,
Kari
