"Bitter Old Man"
From my blog page.
Several years ago, I was linked to a video of a very strong woman, who just happened to be fat. The woman, Tristy Taylor, posted her video in response to Michelle Obamas comments about the obesity epidemic. In her words:
I was very impressed with her video, and the attitude behind it, and subscribed to her channel. Over the past few years I didnt see anything else relative to her weightlifting, or size acceptance, to my disappointment. That is, until about 2 weeks ago, when she posted another weightlifting video. I was thrilled to see that the new video had been posted, again in hopes that some people would be motivated to continue to work towards health regardless of size, and that others who typically troll the internet to spread fat hatred, would see that yet another person is destroying myths about fat people not being able to engage in healthy activities.
I was saddened to see that her most recent video had less than 20 views (as of the date of this blog). I dont know Ms. Taylor, but I might guess that one of the reasons that there had been nearly 3 years between her weightlifting videos was because of the huge amount of trolling that had gone on after her first video was posted. While Im pretty sure that she had other great things going on in her life (and judging by the other activities posted on your YouTube channel), having to deal with the volume of haters on YouTube to prove her point was not anything she needed in her life.
Regardless, I felt that her effort should be seen by more than 20 people. Look, I dont expect someone who weighs 300 lbs to run a marathon, but to see her working out, and the fact that she knows the staff at the gym who work with her, indicates to me that shes on a lifetime journey towards health, and there isnt a hater in the world who can take that away from her.
And, isnt health all we all really want?
Be sure to watch her video!
