Sooo, just came back from boxing class.... it was so hard and so annoying.... do skinny people really think that being fat is "catchy".... I know I'm not imagining when I say that I get these looks like...."I don't want to get what you have".....so painful and hurtful..... even the instructor looks annoyed with me, like I shouldn't really be there....
As usual, all were in their Lulu's.... I saw a size 0 girl tell the size 2 girl that she really needs to work on her butt..... pleeeeease.....
All in all, this is why I stopped going to workout as I've gained weight over the last 3.5 years....it's too depressing to be the biggest in the class.....
Hopefully one day soon, I can join the Lulu's - Except that I will always be nice and smiley and friendly to anyone that is overweight and never make them feel like they have crashed my (skinny) party!!!!!!
Hi! Good for you for getting in there and doing a boxing class! I have to believe that more people in that class were thinking it was great that you are in the class working on your fitness than anything else. Of course, 99.9% of them were too busy, like most people, thinking about themselves to think about it either way.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry -- and don't let those skinny Lulu girls get you down! You never know their stories --you might have thought I was one of them if I was in your class (er, but I wear an 8, so maybe not)! :) But really, I started out obese and only am able to fit in those clothes because I took the journey that you're about to take.
Congratulations on your surgery date! Can't wait to read more!! And thanks for the nice note in your first post! :)
