I love this so much. I get sick, people compliment me for losing weight and tell me to keep it up. No. I won’t stay in pain to be your version of aesthetically pleasing.
As an unlikely athlete, I get variations on “the look.” It was hard to find an athletic trainer who could comprehend I do not care about my size. I like having thick thighs because they are strong for climbing mountains. Yes, I do lots of cardio. Alone. On a trail. Teach me those cool looking battle ropes!
And watching the gym bros go from mocking the pig to respecting the woman twice their weight and age who is throwing down a workout they can’t manage? Priceless.
If I ever win the lottery I will open a business designing clothes that fit me and my fat friends. I have a friend who reflexively buckles a seatbelt before climbing into a vehicle to avoid the embarrassment. If I can make extenders sexy, I will feel accomplished.
I love this piece. I love everything about it. Thank you. I needed this. Right now. Today. You turned my day around. ❤️
