d and i were talking about our individual fitness journeys the other night and the comments and struggles we've had. both of us were bigger but have perservered and relatively enjoy it.
we were talking about some of our friends and peer pressure and comments that get thrown our way. someone commented to her about how she has larger friends and those friends are now worried that she will ditch them because she is getting fit. how ridiculous.
d also has a friend who has had a gastric bypass and how she perceives it to be unfair that this person now weighs less than her. personally, i think surgery is CHEATING. and altho this person has decreased in size and looks better than she has, she isnt strong. her cardio is terrible and she isnt strong or toned. it doesnt matter that she weighs less, she still cant do anything. i tried to tell d that she is way ahead of this person in terms of things because she has her cardio and her strength, whereas the gastic bypass lady(gpl) is struggling hard in classes to keep up. hey, kudos to her because she has been at every class, but she still cheated.
d has noticed that the gpl is now changing her attitude and the real her is emerging, and it's not pretty. this person had hid behind her weight and now that she is decreasing in mass, she is showing her true colors. scary. i only know this person to see her and have chatted with her from time to time, but i hear town gossip (fuck, there is A LOT of it here) and i have heard my own shit about her. i try not to judge because it's terribly unfair, but this person isnt really my type anyway, so i could care less about the person she is.
fitness changes a lot of things about people; positive and negative. i like to think that i feel more confident. it's wonderful to go into a class and be able to hold the plank position for 2 minutes. i couldnt do that before. that empowers me. what doesnt is the shitty attitude some of these bitches have...hence why it's fucking awesome to go in, say nothing, work my ass off (literally), and leave.
it's not great, but that's how it is.
