A couple weeks ago the hubs and I went on an overnight trip to Eureka Springs to get away and to see the fall foliage. I wanted to do a little hiking, got us lost first, and we saw a sign for a “100 foot lookout point”. Okay sweet! Pull up... it’s an actual preserved forest ranger observation tower. So. Many. Stairs. My first thought was “oh crap”. My second thought “screw it I’m doing it anyways”. Hubby paid his $1, goes in the narrow full body turnstile, and apprehensively tells me it’s very tight. Yes. I got STUCK. In between embarrassment, thinking I was going to die, and swearing we never spoke of this again, I was laughing hysterically. They didn’t expect some fat ass to want to climb that tower but guess what, this girl did. And that view was absolutely breathtaking. I didn’t want to leave, despite my fear of heights that had me clinging to the rail except to take that selfie in which I honestly thought I was going to die. The lesson here? There’s so many assumptions about what our bodies can or can’t do because of how they look. You’re not obligated to conform to a single one if you don’t want to. . . . . . . . . . . #bodypositive #fitness #motivation #me #myposts #hiking #fatgirlshiking #thisbodycan #youdoyouboo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpR3bbh7jM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a1vruqaevqcz
