He wanted me to admit to him that yes, in fact, my weight did bother me. He wanted to hear my say it, to hear the word “fat” come out of my lips.

exercise
If girls started getting under the bar with some serious weight, the market for diet books, gadgets, pills, food-like products, exercise gear, Spanxx, and so-called health/fitness magazines might just entropy.
exercise
Turns out there's a scientific explanation for why so many of us don't enjoy breaking a sweat.
heels
I knew I would have blisters for at least month, possibly a torn ACL, but I stuck it out in the name of toned curves and general craziness.
exercise
When you grow up fat, movement is never just for the sake of movement. My backhand didn't matter; my backside was all people cared about.
body acceptance
I’ll freely admit I would be super interested in a fitness environment that didn’t treat me like a freaking disease.
exercise
Ohhhh my god, why are plus size workout clothes so boring?
but i don't wanna
I would rather hug a stranger than go on a run. But facts are facts. FML.
dvds
Sure, you can get your fitness on at a gym, but I'd rather watch a movie to get svelte.

Think you’ll look dumb? Then you forgot about bodily fluids.

Running a half-marathon actually caused me to go up a pants size -- and I'm not alone.
yoga

standing
Prolonged sitting is linked to increased rates in breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. So I decided to devote the month of October to standing on my own two feet.
being fat in the world
When I read recently that running on a treadmill can make you fat, it was a quiet shock to the guts like the one I get when I finish eating a personal pizza and discover that I've eaten nine servings in under five minutes.
cardio
I can't even do one push-up. But that's about to change.
exercise
One of the unique elements of my condition is that I never felt any pain, which might have acted as a warning sign or indicator that I was getting worse.
exercise
Prior to this year, it was considered one of my "healthier" bad habits. Now I know it needs to stop.
exercise
I’m clumsy like Zooey Deschanel on roller skates and two Vicodins. Yet I somehow managed to run 13 miles this weekend. In a row.
exercise
You’ll need a chair and your floor and probably nothing else at all, including determination.
fighting
When life knocks you on your ass, you can continue on the path of least resistance and hope that everything ends up okay, or you can put your ass back in the ring and learn how to fight again.
depression
High five!
