I think she will be a great instructor, you know why?
There are a lot of fat people here in the US with very low self esteem, they think they are grossly incapable of exercise because they are too fat. They see the fatness as a handicap.
So an instructor like that can be a role model to all those people. I for one am fit but will give props to anyone trying their best and not letting their fatness stop them. She is a person with a lot of perseverance and motivation and should be applauded. She could help many with percieved disabilities because of their weight get into fitness for the first time.
It would be the "if she can do it, i can do it" kind of attitude.
i might have a bad sense of size... but if she eats/excercises properly then i see no problem with her doing the aerobics teaching. too bad they didn't include a photo.
But she probably does not eat properly enough to lose weight. It is not impossible. If you burn more than you consume than you lose weight. She is probably at McDonalds now. Getting that #2 Biggie Size.
MY GOD, I've never heard of people getting yeast infections...BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF THEIR SKIN!!!!!!
That's just horrible, how can a person live like that??? If I had a "medical condition" and ever got like that I would seriously just kill myself. Simply existing isn't enough, life has to be lived to make it worthwhile. That whole NAAFA site is an embarrassment for the human race. You would think those overweight posters could learn more and help themselves better by a place like EF than a board like that.
That whole yeast thread reminds me of the movie Seven, when the guy suffocated in his spaghetti...
What I'm wondering, is how is a person who's very very active yet STILL fat somehow inspirational? It sends the message that, even if you ARE active you'll still be fat.
I think much more motivating would be the stories about morbidly obese people who cut down to normal weight.
"It seems that every day there's some new report on one news or another demonizing fatties like me... reporting new efforts to stamp out obesity, or maybe just obese people? Today it was that most bullies are fat. It seems to me more likely that the VICTIMS of bullies are fat. I'm really worried that we're the new blacks in the deep south of the 50's, the new Jews in Hitler's Germany... and I don't like it! Is anyone doing anything of an activist nature to stop this trend?? I want to be on the front lines!!"
