"To the fatty running on the Westview track this afternoon:"

[WilliamPitt]

I'm about 50 pounds overweight, but it's -4 outside...and this made me want to go out and run.

Kudos.

1. Did you?

[WilliamPitt]

2. I did not.

The snow is four feet deep.

Soon.

3. Winter...*sigh*

[WilliamPitt]

5. This, too, shall pass.

4. This is really beautiful, my dear Will...

Thank you for posting it.

6. That is inspiring, Will - I saw it on your FB post.

It's motivated me in a particular direction. We see and hear so much of people being denigrating, I've resolved to vocalise my admiration and support for marginalised individuals at least once every week for the season of Lent. I think it's better than giving up something. It's more like 'giving back' something.

8. What a good idea, my dear SOteric...

You'll be supporting those individuals who most need that support.

9. High fives and smiles

cost nothing.

7. I run at least six miles a day at the gym.

Sometimes eight (every other day).

That post has my respect.

11. I only have love for any one who is out there exercising and running.

Much respect.

12. What a nice change from the usual anti-fat fascism. Thanks, Will. (nt)

13. There's a guy at work who is overweight and has some resulting knee issues

and he posts regularly on our internal website talking about his mantra of even 10 minutes helps. He's working hard and he's getting in better shape.

14. **fat shaming**

as a fat woman I really hesitated to click on this link. I have had many years of using fatshamingbutreallyiamamazedbyyou. Will, what the original author used was fatshaming praise and a slap...I ask you to think about this as a human and a DU member.
