Something more positive

This is just something more positive, and random, than my post of just a few minutes ago. Cause I think I need some happier thinking to get me through my workday.

So, here’s some things I’ve done recently that many people assume fat people can’t/don’t do:

~ practiced bellydancing for an hour

~ walked to the county fairgrounds, then walked around there for a few hours, then walked back home, all without getting winded or exhausted or falling over dead

~ rode the flying swings ride at that fair

~ climbed stairs

~ walked to a friend’s house and back (it was only a couple of blocks, but still, some people think we can’t do anything)

~ ate healthy (oh my goodness, but I thought fat people ate McDonald’s three times a day!!!)

~ drank water

~ continued to be in love with and be loved by a wonderful woman who also happens to be fat, and gorgeously so :)

~ valued myself!!!!

Take that, those who think we fat people must be lazing around eating cheetos and fast food and inhaling lard all day every day!

But yeah, I do feel a bit better now ^^;

Fast food ban in California

To all those who thought I was being ridiculous by being concerned about the Metabo “fad” in Japan:

It looks like we might not be too many steps away from them after all, if this passes. Because our country is so obsessed with this war on obesity, if this passes in California, I bet we’ll be seeing something similar in many more places. Not that its going to do any good, or make people any healthier. But hey, when has that stopped our government?
