You summed it up in one sentence.

Be nice people.

That's what I call a good comeback. Seriously why people have to make judgement on whether or not one is fit based on weight. The reality is about training, getting stronger.

To be honest, I have come to see the number of the scale means jack sh*t when it comes to how I feel in my body. I move and exercise because it restores me to sanity. I love seeing my personal progress in how I continue to push through the I can't into the of course I would do it!

Thank you for this post it's amazing! Sending you lots of love as you run your 22 miles

High five! You go girl!

Thank you do much for doing that! I started my journey at 218 pounds! I am currently around 170. Unfortunately with personal circumstances that have been in my life, like my Dad passing away a few weeks ago and my husband and I having to close our business, stress and apathy and grief have made getting to the gym challenging to say the least. The last time I was in te gym, I had something similar happen to me. I have been in such a bad place personally, I just left. Thank you for being an advocate and a voice. That just made my day!

OMG I wish I was there to see their faces! BOOYAH!...

OMG I wish I was there to see their faces! BOOYAH! Geez it really irks me when women feel the need to tear each other down. You are awesome for doing that within earshot of them. It wasn't too confrontational and completely got the point across. I bet they'll be thinking about it for a while :) Cannot wait to meet you soon at the Runner's World event.You simply rock.

This is precisely why I love you! #1 for being my biggest supporter when even I didn't think I could ever achieve greatness with my health and #2 for calling these girls out on their BS and making them ashamed of their judgement! YOU ROCK.

Also, to better myself I am hiking again this weekend, hopefully a tough one like Camelback. To encourage others: hiking it with a friend who is struggling with her own health/activity.

This makes me sad & incredibly pissed off!! I'm not a big person, but let me just say, I ran a half marathon last weekend and there was a younger girl, maybe mid 20's, who weighed at least 200lbs. I could not keep up with her! She was awesome! I have so much respect anyone who ventures out of their comfort zone despite the naysayers! Shame on those women!!!

Good for you handling the situation like that. My take is that people who judge others are just jealous because they can't/won't do it themselves. I'm running a 1/2 marathon on Sunday. That should make me a better person. :)

Thanks ladies. I said and made my point without being like them. Sometimes we need to think about what we are going to say before saying it.

Oh this post makes me so mad! I cannot believe people can be so mean!!! Good for you for getting your point across without stooping to their level and being mean about it. You go girl!

2012-10-05T14:26:23.253-05:00

Go you for being able to say something that they could hear and to make them stop and think about what they had been saying. I weigh a bit more than 185 and while I still struggle with going for my lunch hour walk/run and body image. I still get out there and go and try to block out what others are thinking about me as I pass by.

2012-10-05T14:16:07.330-05:00

You rock for saying that! People that are so negative and bash someone for something THEY aren't even doing suck. I'm even heavier than that and I'm running races...kudos to you for sticking up for us runners!
