on working out

[first_seventhe]

The things I really want to say I will try to sum up as follows:

• “Losing weight” and “being skinny” are not actually always the same thing or even related…
• …and neither one really is directly guaranteed to be related to “how you look”…
• … and none of the above necessarily have anything to do with “being healthy”…
• …which in turn is something

Yes. Yes yes and also yes.

I could also insert a rant here, but a) I shouldn't dump my tl;dr rants on you and b) I'm about to get on a plane, so for now I'll just say thank you for saying this. :)

Ooooh, feel free to dump tl;dr rants on me anytime *sexy wink*! No, really; I have a lot more to say on this (and plan to), but it wasn't coming out in a version I thought clearly expressed what I wanted to say.

THIS is going on my memories and then printed off to be placed on my fridge.

AMEN

AGREED. There are a lot of reasons to work out that are good, happy ones!

AGREE.

I would love to be skinny, but I have accepted that I will never be skinny because if I lost any more weight, I might die. My body has found its happy place.
