Oh. My. God.
No way. It can’t be.
OH BUT IT IS!!!
HAZAAH!!!
Welcome back to the tenth, and incredibly long-awaited installment of "Workout Buddy Needed," where your input matters.
So much to catch up on, but I’ve decided to keep my entries a little shorter than the previous nine…or at least I’m trying to.
In fact, for this, the TENTH blog I am posting, I have a special topic to post, and it all centers on this greeting card:
The fine ladies at my local Curves, who were outraged to say the least, brought this card to my attention.
Now, when I first saw this, I was pissed off. I mean, imagine if you were the artist’s inspiration for this card…yeah, doesn’t feel so good, does it? And then I thought, “If I got this for my birthday at any age, I would slap the person who gave it to me, especially as someone who is overweight and losing weight where arm flab & sagging boobs are a huge possibility. And that thought scares the crap out of me!
Hey, I may be vain, but it’s my body, and I’ll think what I want!
So, here’s the part where I do a complete 180 on you…what if I’m being too sensitive?
I know. Shocker! But seriously, I’ve seen those motivational posters where they poke fun at fat woman, old men, and everyone who looks different and laughed my butt off…and those feature REAL PEOPLE!!!
(Ok, that last one still cracks me up)
So, who am I and the ladies at my local Curves to get mad at a photo that doesn’t even feature us in person, but pokes fun at people like us (or the possible future me)?
So, here's the TOPIC OF THE WEEK:
Has the American public become too sensitive about fat because the majority of us are fat? Shouldn’t we be able to poke fun at ourselves? Does this greeting card make you angry???
Lots to think about…
OK gang, hit the showers, and I'll see you next session!
Your Workout Buddy,
Your Workout Buddy,
Roxy!
p.s. I’m still working on the blog itself, and all Video Moments will be featured on a separate page…and my WoBN [= Workout Buddy Needed] YouTube Page once I fix some of the uploading issues I’ve been having. Patience is a virtue ; )
