Fat Strong Lady

I created this video in response to all the fat hate in our culture right now. From Michelle Obama's many comments about the "obesity epidemic" to the non-stop flood of trolls who jump at the chance to shame and attack fat people who are enjoying their bodies and living healthy and free. Hating someone "for their own good" has never worked. Fat people can be healthy. Fat people can lift heavy weights. I'm 38 years old. I weigh 300 lbs. I am in excellent health. I do not have high blood pressure. I do not have diabetes. I do not have high cholesterol. Do not judge me or anyone else by the size of our bodies. It's time to transform this paradigm of hate to one of love. Thank you to my husband Justin for filming and editing and loving me and thank you to Myles Ahead Weightlifting in Rohnert Park, California for being some of the most amazing and supportive groups of people I have ever met.
*EDIT 7/12/11: I've decided to close the comments on this video. I'm a bit tired of all the fat hate. I was leaving all the comments up, so folks could A) See how nasty fat haters really can be and B) To read all the supportive and wonderful things folks have said, but I'm just tired of managing all the hateful stuff. Thanks to everyone who have posted such kind and supportive comments.
