DON'T ASSUME I AM UNHEALTHY BECAUSE OF MY SIZE

A lot of people judge a book by its cover and most of the time its not fair let alone necessary. Speaking from experience people will judge you no matter what especially if you are on the plus size. This article is my own opinion and its based on my personal experiences so please ask for permission before using it elsewhere or whatsoever.

We all have those skinny friends who have bodies to die for but they eat anything they want and still don't gain a single pound of fat and then there is my category, the type that swears by the rule book and eats healthy yet the pounds still build up. In all the 22 years of my existence I can promise you I have tried almost every trick in the book to loose weight and avoid gaining it back but I am stuck in a pendulum and I can't seem to break the habit.

Long post alert... lol

Along this dreadful journey the worst part is that no matter what I do people always comment about my weight. I am not obese and my B.M.I is also not far off but that's not the point,the point is maybe I focus too much on what society says instead of living healthy. Personally I love fitness and i am obsessed with greens so even if I am not focusing on loosing weight i still eat green,hike and cycle but no one ever cares about that right?? Its all about how you look.

Bear with me I will get to the point.... :)

I am fat yes I get it but what matters is, I am metabolically healthy because of the lifestyle path I took. Ever since I cut back on junk food I can assure you that I have good skin, I am less moody, I feel lighter, my energy levels have sky rocketed and did mention I make better food choices now?? YES I do. Finally, I am free from being a slave to my cravings and senses.Dear friends being skinny is great we all want to be skinny haha... but it does not guarantee good health, if you don't eat right metabolically you face the same health risks as overweight/obese people who don't look after their health. Lets not assume that all fat people overeat and stuff themselves with junk same applies for skinny people, not all of them eat healthy or exercise regularly. Bottom line is loosing weight is easy but maintaining it is hard "Ask me i will tell you, been there done that honey" and sometimes the only way out is to choose a lifestyle that will prevent future weight gain rather than loosing weight on a fad diet only gain it back again later.

Lets raise our glasses to living healthy and fit.

Thanks for reading

Yours truly
