I happen to think that I have done really well with getting
in shape; I’ve dropped a ton of weight and look fantastic.
Those that have known me before I started out on this
journey (sorry for that wanky term) keep congratulating me for getting to this
stage, where I weigh 150lbs less then I did when I started, dropping 14 inches
off my waist etc. Now it is obviously always good to hear nice things about you
but getting in shape is its own reward really and recently I’ve been asking myself
if I should be rewarded for doing this.
I don’t think I should really and neither should anyone
else. Its fine to say I look great or remark that I’ve dropped weight but
saying well done? No.
Whys that?
Because I wasn’t fucking well supposed to weigh 24 n a bit
st! No one is supposed to weigh that much unless they’re 7ft tall! Don’t say
well done to someone getting there, they don’t need it. Instead say “well it
took you long enough!”
Oooh, you know I hate the term "journey"!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI got into it with someone on line a while ago who said it wasn't people's fault when they gained weight and they should not be hard on themselves when it happens. So I asked if I should get credit for having lost/kept off a lot of weight and he said certainly. So I replied, then why shouldn't I accept the blame for having been 70 pounds overweight to begin with? No answer.
