What you don't see when you just look at me...

We've all judged someone based on their appearance. Whether it be the clothes they chose to wear, hair style, tattoos, body shape, etc. I think it is a natural thing to do, but when you audibly (or on social media) judge someone merely on their appearance - you have no idea what that person has going on in their life. 

A while back while in a gas station grabbing a drink and filling the gas can to go home and cut my grass, after I had just done two hours of water aerobics, a guy thought I was in his way (I guess) and called me a "lard ass". At first, I was mortified and embarrassed. Then after a minute, I was so mad that I got into my car and cried. 

I cried thinking that no matter how hard I work, no one can see at first look that:

• I spend six-eight hours a week doing cardio. 
• I maintain my calorie goal most every single day. 
• Each day I try to make better decisions regarding my health. 
• All of my numbers from my annual physical came back dang near perfect. 
• You can't see that since I first measured on 3/16 I've lost: 
• Arm = 1.5"
• Bust = 4.5"
• Waist = 2.5"
• Hips = 2.5"
• Thigh = 3.0"
• Neck = 1.5"

I've thought about this a lot when I judge someone else, based on appearance. I'm working on just smiling and going on about my business. I know how it feels to be judged on my appearance. I also know how hard I'm working and for once - I am doing this for me. For MY health - not anyone else. 

Just something to think about and something I'm working on too... 

Make today a good day!
