Here is another before picture I found. Today I heard a bunch of times that I looked average. Really? Anyone who considers my before pictures "normal" or average needs to get a different mind setting. I could not even go up stairs to my bedroom without being out of breath. I was in size 14-16 which should not be average. If a body fat % of 35 is normal...then we have a bigger problem, in this country, then I thought.

You were average sized by American standards. The population of each country varies in weight and height standards due to genetics, lifestyle and of course nutrition.
ReplyDeleteSome of the heavier people have underlying health issues that contribute to their weight management problem.
It's easy to pass judgment from where you are standing but that won't solve any of the root problems.
Its really not all that simple. But making people feel bad about their
*smiles* so when I am all positive all is fine and dandy? If anyone feels bad about what I wrote then I am, to a degree, sorry. It was not my intention. So if they take it as an attack, then that is not my doing. I might come across harsh...but I am sorry, I am not speaking of heavy people with underlying health issues or genetics, OR food addiction. I am speaking of the person that eats a bag of chips and then complains about their weight. <---that was me! If everyone would have told me "you are unhealthy" in a kind and sweet way, I am quite sure I would still be in the same spot. Pass judgment from where I am standing? I've been 200lbs (so I just take the right to say how I feel) and all I am saying is that 35% body fat is not healthy, aka should NOT be average.
