Thanks for sharing this video! I went to the doctor yesterday, and weighed in at 199lbs, the heaviest I've ever been despite eating healthily and getting more exercise. I like the way I look, so why should a stupid number on a scale bother me?
this was awesome! i hate that people automatically think that if you are fat that means you aren't active or healthy. you can be fat and have a healthy lifestyle, genetics play a big role in it.
Thank you. I am a happy size 12. When I was a "healthy" weight of 133, I had a hematocrit of 9, was severely weakened by anemia, and cholesterol of 300 (yes after 3 months of a strick vegan diet). I am now 150, had an accidental non-fasting test within 48 hours of eating a hamburger and my number plummeted over 60 points. Funny thing is, cholesterol excepted, when I was unhealthy, life insurance would have been cheaper.
Honestly, I used to be the type of person who would look at a fat person and think it was all their fault. I made a friend last semester who is obese, but she eats healthy and is constantly going to the gym. She made me change my outlook on the situation. That video totally drove things home for me. If you're eating right and exercising, then be happy with who you are! I'm sorry for my way of thinking before.
