"No, I'm sorry.. It's not ok to be fat."

I'm sure this post won't make me any friends, but it has to be said and if I have to be the one to say it, then so be it. I am all for "accepting yourself for who you are" and being comfortable in your own skin. If you are short, big boned, skinny, have a big nose or a small nose, big lips, thin lips, curly hair, no hair, etc. But I am not for "accepting" obesity and disease as "who you are." You have the power to change this. And you need to change this. Both for you and the life that you deserve to live,  because you only get one; and for your family and friends who love you and don't want to see your life cut short because you were comfortable "accepting yourself" and not taking accountability for your health.
Don't get me wrong. Being curvy, thick, etc. is cool if you are healthy. But being fat and unhealthy is not. Please don't be offended or misinterpret my point. I get passionate about people not being fat (unhealthy)  not for my own reasons or because I "dislike" people who are overweight. I am not prejudiced in any sense of the word and in fact, I appreciate diversity in lifestyles, race, gender, etc. more than anyone. The reason I am passionate about people not being fat is because it upsets me very much to know that these people could be leading a longer, more enjoyable and fulfilling life and they are going to miss out on that because of their health. This is not just an opinion, this is a fact. Being overweight leads to a myriad of health problems and a shorter and more limited life. Period end of story. Yes, it is selfish because it affects everyone that loves you. We as a society, have begun to accept dangerously high levels of bodyfat as normal. Forty percent bodyfat is not normal. Human beings are not supposed to look like (or feel) like this. We are designed to be lean, strong, fast and healthy. Mother nature is a miracle maker and the human being that she designed looked much different than who we see walking the malls today. Human beings eating foods that we were designed to eat and doing exercises/activity that we were designed to do look great, feel great and live healthy. It's time to get back to the human beings that mother nature designed.

Oh, now I get it..

So today was one of those days when I had plenty of excuses not to work-out today. Lots to do, kind of tired, maybe I need another day of rest.. You know the story. Then I saw something that changed my mind. A guy flew past me on a skateboard. Wow, I thought.. Ok now I have no excuse, I need to get my workout in. After all, you know as well as I do that one day of excuses leads to a second day of excuses and next thing you know, 5 years of "I'll get back on track tomorrow" goes by.

 It doesn't matter that your kids kept you up late or got you up early. It doesn't matter that you missed yesterday's workout too. Mother nature doesn't care what excuses you want to use. She will still make you sick, fat, tired and all of the other bad things that happen when you don't exercise.

I was forgetting all of this when I felt lazy this morning. I had all the excuses lined up. And you know what? I was buying them. Sometimes it seems like all the stars have to be aligned just perfectly to work out. You need just the perfect amount of time, (like that ever happens), you need tons of extra energy (like that ever happens either), etc.. But the reality is you just have to do it, no matter what the conditions are. Ask the skateboarder.
Now what was it about this skateboarding man that inspired me? Well, he wasn't exactly your typical skateboarder.
He had no legs.
What's your excuse?
