The Pursuit of Normal
SW: 278 CW: 276 GW:160 UGW:140
Fat people in America are reduced to nothing but fatness. A fat person has a health problem of any kind? It’s because they’re fat. A fat person is single? Well, duh. Fat. They deserve it. A fat person is poor? That’s not surprising-obviously they have bad judgment and no impulse control! Because why would a smart person choose to be fat? If a fat person goes to a restaurant and sits on a broken chair and the chair collapses under them, it’s because they’re fat. But if a thin person sits on the same broken chair and the chair collapses under them, it’s because they sat on a broken chair.

Negative experience = because of your fat
Positive experience = in spite of your fat
Not just in America though

Chobani Citrus Splash!
Here is my refreshing mid morning snack! The weather is so hot today and I’m about to go take a swim! I cut up 1/4 of a grapefruit and crushed it, then I added it to my plain fat free yogurt with 1 packet of truvia. I topped it with Fat Free Reddi whip, pink sprinkles and a couple grapefruit slices on the side! It’s a perfect protein fix.

So you’re saying eating fruit is bad because of the sugar but special K bars are okay?

What my late nights consist of now that I’m a mommy again
Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur’s Inspirational Transformation! (by Dallapage)
i can’t hear it all, but just watch. i’m crying.STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THIS!
What determination!!
Never ever ever give up.
Totally cried.
I have to reblog. This is beautiful.
It’s amazing what you can achieve when you try.DO NOT SCROLL PAST THIS! Watch it right now! You may cry like a baby (like I did).
Holy shit this is amazing.
yep. there were tears.
Oh my gosh, this is amazing.
wow, this is amazing! See what yoga also does to your body!! REALLY need to start with yoga!!
Oh my god this made me cry. I really want to start yoga and this made me want to even more!
WATCH THIS NOW
It’s short, and it started looking like it was going to be just a good short motivation. Made it to nearly 4:30 thinking “Okay I can see how people would cry” but I wasn’t. Then something happened, and my immediate uncontrolled reaction was a sharp intake of air and I was crying and smiling. Then two seconds later another thing happened, another intake of air and I was weeping.
Seriously, it was amazing. I just want everyone who struggles to watch this. Everyone who’s been told by doctors or nurses that they’ll never be what they once were to watch this.What she said ^^^^
Crying uncontrollably. What a GREAT video
Oh boy the tears
A failure of the worst kind
So as you may or may not know I haven’t been posting as much because I’ve been fostering a kitten that I took on when he was only a few hours old. The kitten is doing great, his eyes opened just two days ago and I’ve named him Sir Terry Pratchett after one of my favorite authors :)
anyways not the point, the point is while I’ve had him(and lets be honest before that too) I completely quit caring about exercising and eating right I even started smoking again I kept reblogging healthspo and stuff like that to see if any of it would inspire me to start again…..it didn’t. I was just so tired of trying to lose weight constantly. I figured I would always be fat and it was stupid to keep trying because it didn’t make a difference what I did I’d always be heavy and I was fine with that.
Soooo today I weighed myself for the first time in a very long time just out of curiosity and imagine my surprise when the scale had not only changed but had gone all the way up to 292.
I have never realized how much bullshit I had fed myself about not caring about my weight until I saw that number!! I was absolutely crushed, and it’s so so terrifying to realize that I am 8 lbs away from 300.
I care I care so much it hurts my heart to think about how much I’ve abused my body to get to this point and I don’t know how to fix it.
Which brings me to the reason why I would post such an epic failure on the internet. I want to make a change but nothing I’ve tried has kept me on the path for long I need to change my life and I need an incredible amount of help, so I’m thinking of going to over-eaters anonymous and I wanted to know if any of you had any experience with the program.
If any of you have gone could you please tell me about it? You can reply this or anonymous message me it doesn’t matter I’d just like to talk to someone who knows
