Great video Em - I wonder if there's a fat person out there that hasn't struggled with this? Even when I'm just out for a walk, there are times I feel incredibly self-conscious. But you are so right! Lets stop hiding in our houses and take our lives, our sidewalks, and our neighborhoods back, LOL! You're more charitable than I am - I usually just offer up my middle finger.
Em remember that time when I actually ran rings around you in Whit? You were laughing too much to jog after that. On a more topical note, I had rocks thrown at me in Hackney when I was jogging - after that I joined a gym!
Yes! That was hilarious. I'll always remember that.
How did you find this Blog?
I can't believe you had rocks thrown at you! Ian says he has names called at him. I think people just enjoy tormenting joggers because they aren't exercising themselves. x
I remember being quite young...14? and at school and a boy next to me said, "i bet you'd eat this scab if I picked if off my arm and gave it to you." I think I called him an asshole. Now though, I don't know if I've tuned it out or what but this isn't really something I deal with now. I'm not much bigger than I was at 14, sadly.
Yeah, I dont exercise outside..no way, no how LOL i do walk outside, but not run or anything else. I wouldn't care about the names or laughing, but people these days have cell phones with cams and I dont wanna end up on Youtube in some video titled "fat girl tries to run" or something..LOL :OP but seriously, you're right.. big ppl dont exercise because they dont want to be laughed at etc..but you'll never be thin if you dont move..screw the haters.
I never thought of people filming me - that would upset me immensely if that did happen. I think it's worth just doing. Every time I'm called something negative, it makes me stronger because as a child I was bullied and never stood up for myself. But now, I always do, regardless of what people say. :)
Thank you! :-) I think it looks slimmer too (it's the only place I can visibly see my weight loss so far - but that ain't a bad thing) You are right! It is pathetic and definitely a projection of self hatred. Once we know that, it just doesn't hurt anymore x
After just having a baby, someone called me "Thunder Thighs" out the window of a car when I was walking with my stroller to lose weight. It devastated me. I ended up exercising indoors because I didn't want to risk feeling like that ever again. So I totally can relate. I'm glad you are handling it better than I did, but sorry that you have to at all. It is ridiculous how cruel people can be. Stay strong. <3
People can be such ignorant assholes can't they? I've gotten past the point of caring now and it's so freeing and liberating! I hope you will soon feel able to exercise outdoors again. There is nothing wrong with being overweight and we shouldn't be ashamed :-) <3
It's unfortunate that their are people who make fun of others that are trying to lose weight. I mean... The guy your talking about is trying to better himself while the others taking pictures were not. We all gotta learn to love and respect! :-) Thanks for a good video!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, it is unfortunate. I think rather than us thinking we are making others uncomfortable, it is they that are comfortable with us due to personal insecurities. Knowing this, I feel so much better when it does happen. Cheers :)

If you have a music player and you don't live in an area where traffic is abundant I would suggest wearing the music player while jogging.
change yourself for you, not anyone else. ^_^
