I'd think f***in awesome at least he/she is making some effort, that's what I like to see and there is no need to be self conscious when running or exercising. It's all for the better and you could even make some buddies that use the gym or run the same routes as you :)

[Asker]

Aww thanks :))))

[Dantemustdie]

aw thanks for BA and you're welcome too :)

[SheepdogAmongUs]

It's all about the journey, not the destination. The people who are out of shape and are MAKING THE EFFORT to change themselves actually have only their own negativity to contend with, because any gym rat or fitness freak knows how awesome it is to look at oneself in a "before and after" comparison.

[Asker]

Thanks Sheepdog and your welcome Dantemustdie :))))

[Chris_52]

I would think keep up the fantastic work and think she is doing great! You are working on yourself to improve yourself and there is no need to worry about what others' think. And I am sure you are very pretty, keep that smile up :)

[Asker]

Thankyou, your very kind :)

[Bernetta]

actually I am also overweight. I am been thinking of exercise to lose weight. but I am too self conscious to do that. I am kinda afraid of how people is going to look at me if I were to exercise publicly..

[Asker]

Try to go to a more sucluded place like don't go through main st or go early in the morning because there rnt many people around :) Good Luck, the first step is the hardest step to a healthy life- as soon as I started I didn't want to go back

[Bernetta]

Whats your motivation that keeps you going? There are times whereby we will want to give up. Or feel like slacking..

[Asker]

Well most of my other diets failed because no one knew so I didn't matter if I fell on my ass because no one would see me fail my tips are:

Tell mum and dad, after a week of walking/jogging and eating right my parents noticed a change in my face (they can also help w meals and portion control)

Take an ipod or a dog while excersising

Have small expectations so weigh your self say if you need to lose 15kg start w a 5kg goal

Keep a food diary or count caliories you can little books that have hundreds of brands

[Asker]

I ran outta characters but these books have the brands calories grams fat etc... Did you know there is 100 calories per normal tim tam? Neither did I until I got this link ino its hard you will look and feel gorgeus after a week or 2! Xx

[Bernetta]

ok! thanks! :D

[Asker]

No probs hun!

[goflipaburger]

I don't think you should worry about it at all :D Everyone admires people working out in public, no matter what. Heck, I wish I could go running outside! so good for you, just keep on keeping on :)

[kmhco]

I think it is great that she is trying to be healthier. I respect people who respect themselves enough to make a change for the better in their lives. Not many people have the courage to do it.

[Belgie]

I don't laugh at anyone trying to improve themselves.

About the only time I laugh to myself at a fat person if I see them doing something stupid, like ordering 16 big macs and a diet soda.

Yeah tubby. Gotta watch those full fat sodas... they'll kill ya.

(Just found out that sn***** gets blanked... How overprotective..)

[Asker]

Wat was the word in the astericks? Lol I laff at em too

[Belgie]

sni gg er

[Asker]

Oh well it is rasist to some and they probs just auto out tht word lets see:

Omgf***her

[Belgie]

Except snig ger isn't racist at all. It's a word meaning to snort laughter quietly to yourself.

The fact that it contains a racist epithet isn't really relevant. Or shouldn't be.

Does living in S****horpe have anything to do with being a ****?

[Belgie]

Apparently it does.

Scun thorpe (remove the space) is a town in England.

[Asker]

...?

[Belgie]

It blocked out c.u.n.t. from the word S.c.u.n.t.h.o.r.p.e

Even though obviously the name of the town is not offensive.

[SnackG]

LOL It censored c-u-n-t.

[Asker]

Oh... Duh :)

[queenofpeen]

I wouldn't think anything of it. Not even "good for them," because that implies that they SHOULD be trying to change, a judgment that I'm quite sick of. But that's just my politics talking :P

Basically, do what makes you happy.

[Asker]

You are so right :) I never thought of it tht way :)

[baliguy11]

I would think... good for you and if you had a nice smile, probably want to see how things turn out. yup... I am a pig but try to see the positive. keep it up. go pretty girl.

[Asker]

:) thankyou

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

Likely wouldn't care, but probably be "good for her" same as I think "good for me" or "good for anyone" when it comes to trying to stay or get in shape.

[KERMlT]

I saw a woman yesterday that was curvy walking and I just thought she had a great figure. :) Skinny women jogging is just like whatever.

[CarlGN]

being a former fatty, I'd appreciate the fact they're working towards improving their health. so good on em.

[FierceMegan]

C: Good on her - At least she is trying to get stuff together.

[ihatework]

good for them and you, I'm def no adonis and def no hypocrit.

[Anonymous]

[SnackG]

Probably nothing. If any thoughts ran through my mind though it would be positive along with "Why can't I be doing that?"

[IHateMeganFox]

I don't care but fatty? That's a mean word. :(

[Asker]

Yeah true sorry, but I am talking about myself, thanks for you answer

[johnireland02]

Thinking like that might give you some good motivation. I see a lot of people running these days and I always think good on them...stick on your headphones and forget about the world for a while. Good luck to you!

[Asker]

Thankyou the motivation :)))

[IHateMeganFox]

Well you still don't have to call yourself a fatty it's a harsh word.

[queenofpeen]

People only think "fatty" is mean because it's used in a negative way so often. There's nothing inherently mean about it. I'm a fatty and I prefer that to "bigger girl" or "overweight."

[IHateMeganFox]

Um I hate being called fatty. I find it hurtful.

[Asker]

Ur not fat! Sorry if I hurt you :( x

[IHateMeganFox]

I've been called fat my whole life it's OK. but thanks anyways.

[Asker]

Ur welcome :) dw I get called a fat slut every day

[IHateMeganFox]

Wtf? Why the slut part? People are so mean.!

[Asker]

Yeah ino :(

[IHateMeganFox]

But you still didn't tell me why they call you a slut. Your anon you can say it I won't judge. :)

[Asker]

Where I live if you walk into school tired your automatically labelled a stoner slut up-all-night-drunken-party-girl, I'm not a slut small towns talk really easily one moment your kissing a guy on the cheek and the whole town reckons your were making out and getting felt up.

[IHateMeganFox]

wow that's ridiculous. But making out and getting felt up doesn't make a person a slut lol.

[Asker]

Yeah ino... :(

[IHateMeganFox]

F*** your town it's f***ed up.

[Asker]

Yeah ino... F***ing small towns... XP

[IHateMeganFox]

how many people do you know?

[Asker]

Everyone pretty knows everyone we've only got 2300 ppl

[IHateMeganFox]

In the whole town?!

[Asker]

Yeah!

[IHateMeganFox]

WTF! That's tiny.

[Asker]

Haha yeah but the town next to us is 600

[IHateMeganFox]

omg... what state is this?

[Asker]

New South Wales in Australia :)

[IHateMeganFox]

Ohhh Australia. Yeah I don't know how things work there mate! lol.

[Asker]

Its like the same except less mcdonalds...and we don't have like roos everywhere... Sydney is just like NY only smaller...and we don't really say mate

[IHateMeganFox]
