So if you are acclimated to the Fitness World and are on the internet, you’ve more than likely come across images like these. Images of fitness models with Random Inspirational Quote #45024214 where the intention is to get you to PUT DOWN THE CHEESECAKE, FOR FUCKS SAKE SO YOU CAN GET SOME AB DEF ALREADY.

I don't have anything to contribute (yet) but I love this project. Those images annoy me greatly and I think are part of a culture that is discouraging to many people. There's so much baggage piled onto just getting to a gym or putting on exercise clothes or joining a yoga class when you're fat. Every time I get on my bike I have to be mentally prepared for someone to yell at me to get my fat ass out of the road (it's only happened twice...) and I know a lot of folks just can't take that kind of verbal abuse. Seeing more encouraging messages would be great.

Incidentally, have you seen this series of images?

I can't remember where they originated, unfortunately.

I think this is a great idea. I remember when I quit going to the gym around pilates class time because the entire class was full of breathtakingly beautiful, fitness model type women and I was intimidated. It would help to have a resource like you're proposing.
