UNFUCKWITABLE: My confidence didn't come from what people call "concern trolling." A bunch of friends, family members and naysayers reminding me that I'm fat didn't make me the person that I am today. I almost lost EVERYTHING before I found my happy. And the crazy part is that it was here side eyeing me the entire time. My heart told me I was beautiful and strong. Even my reflection would give me two snaps of approval but people failed me every time. I was too fat, now not fat enough to some to have this conversation and even accused of pretending to have a disability to cover up the mere fact that I'm fat. Honey please -- I know I'm fat (and spare me the "you're not as fat as me" and "don't talk about yourself that way" comments.) For the Chicago marathon, I'll be running my 5'3 1/2, 236 lbs muscular leg, gym day arms and three pack loose gut ass across the finish line. Please continue trying to educate me on my own body. Continue reminding me that you can walk faster than I can run. Remind me about my unhealthy eating habits any time I pick up a piece of carb. And I'll keep showing you this 48 inch muscular ass with stretch marks to kiss after I'm done with these 26.2 miles. Keep watching. I'll keep entertaining you with my success. Perhaps you'll learn how to curl something beside those lips. Tell me... #doyouevenshutupbro? Really... do you. Excuse me while I "promote obesity" as I put in this work. See your salty asses on the... sofa? You are in charge of your own happiness. Go chase your own rainbow instead of trying to rob my spectrum. #runningfatchef #fatrunner #runner #whyirun #plussizeathlete #endurance #fitness #fitnessmotivation #timetofly #mycurvescan #hokaoneone #skirtsportsambassador #REALwomenmove #swiftwick #chaseadventure #doyouevenlift #womenwholift #fitmom #cycling #cyclist #ultramarathoner #marathoner #representationmatters #loveletters #loveyourself (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BohWbHLlvv2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kq7335qktn15
