Sorry you haven't heard from me for a few days but I have been going non stop! I have had something that personally bothered the crap out of me and I have been wondering if it is just me...
I have a weight loss page that I "liked" because it is a young lady who lost a lot of weight and is now on there to motivate people and to be an inspiration. After reading her story I could relate BIG time! How could I not like her page. I also book marked her website because for once I found someone that would tell you everything she ate and used for FREE! No signing up or anything. I really felt that I found someone who I could learn more from and lean to. (By the way this is not Ruby who I love to pieces. I just wanted to clarify that).
Then one day I go on to her page to see a pic that she put up of a tank top she wanted to have made that said "I would rather be flat than fat." I one word I was...pissed! Was I laughing...nope. Is it funny?....maybe to someone who is skinny. I personally couldn't believe she had posted that. Did she forget who that "fat" girl was that she once was and the struggle it was to get to where she was today? What about the women and girls that were on there looking up to her and loving the support she was giving? Was this really the message she wanted to send?
While the picture was up she got a lot of feedback and it was mixed. Us "fat girls" were taking it way to seriously. And the "skinny people" had no idea how it felt. Did I comment? No, didn't see the point. I figured she would take the picture down, and she did. Did she apologize if she hurt anyone's feelings? Nope.
I am all about telling it how it is and how you feel. What I have a problem with is if you know your audience why would you go to that level. I also know she has a body sculpting page and I feel it would have been more suited for that page.
I am sure she is an awesome inspiration for many people, but not me now. I love my blog and my page and I wish more people were on board with me. I am not here to put anyone down. I want to laugh and cry with people about this journey.
Tomorrow I have an announcement about what I am doing next. I am done with soda and I am getting there with the exercise but when it comes to eating out I screw myself time and time again...see what I am hoping to help with that tomorrow.
xoxoxo,
Kelly
