People assume that overweight ...I absolutely agree! People assume that overweight people are lazy, all they do is eat, and everyone around them is to be blamed. That is not the case most of the time. <br />I truly believe that one should never judge another person. The way a person looks or acts does not tell their story, it's only a little paragraph in the book that is their life. I am an overweight person, and I have struggled with trying to lose weight and keep it off my entire life. I was born a big baby (9.5 lbs), and I have been big my whole life. I'm not a lazy person, and I don't sit around and eat everything in site all day long. Heck, I do Zumba in my office at work on my lunch break!<br />Point is, people are just too quick to judge without knowing the whole story.<br /><br />Also, I applaud you for all you have accomplished! I don't get to read your blog every day, but on Sunday mornings, when the laundry is going, I sit and I catch up on them! You are definitely an inspiration to me, and I appreciate that more than I can express! Thank you for your inspiration, dedication, & hard work to get where you are now!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343449155967259753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-74491522428840962062012-11-29T11:35:01.847-05:002012-11-29T11:35:01.847-05:00Ugh.

I just started reading your blog, so I do not know the story with your mom, but I picked up on my bad eating habits from my mom, and to this day, we don't talk about it, and it bugs me... but it's her decision!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-13198054574280078002012-11-29T11:02:26.774-05:002012-11-29T11:02:26.774-05:00i read your blog every day. i love it. i save it...i read your blog every day. i love it. i save it for when i can open it and enjoy it. i usually don't comment, but i've been in this situation before. on both sides, unfortunately. i, too, was unfriended because of an off the cuff comment i made, which, at the time, i thought was funny/clever. it wasn't in regards to a person's weight, but it was just as insensitive. i was really touched by your comments, and i applaud your decision not to engage in an online pissing match. my friends didn't publicly humiliate me for my stupidity. they took me aside and showed me my thinking errors. i've learned a lot about on-line etiquette, and compassion. i don't know why i felt compelled to tell you all of this, maybe just because it reminded me and i am grateful for that. you are so real and so honest, and it's beautiful. thank you.Heathercitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795131872489235750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-84926605037618539702012-11-29T08:22:11.546-05:002012-11-29T08:22:11.546-05:00I hate all the Facebook fighting that I usually ju...I hate all the Facebook fighting that I usually just ignore it and don't really "do" Facebook. I agree with you, you can't make someone do something they don't want to do. My father smoked for years and even though we gave him a hard time, would act disgusted and throw out his cigs..he never stopped until he was ready to stop. I always feel that people have an opinion about things they have no experience with. It's easier to say things are wrong when you don't have to experience them.

The fact that a lot of people use it to get on their soapbox and tell everyone the way it is (according to them) is ridiculous. Way to be the better person and just unfriend ignorance instead of getting into a facebook war, which is just an argument that no one can win. I also hate getting into these "wars" and decided a few weeks ago to do a bit of "spring cleaning" on all of my social media accounts. I even deactivated a few. Some people have no idea how their opinions affect others.
