Don’t Call Me Lazy

I was listening to a talk show yesterday, and the host mentioned something about extra payments clients will have to make on health care costs for being overweight. It came down to something like $25 extra a month if you weighed over a certain amount. They were discussing the ins and outs, the fair, the unfair, but relying heavily on the argument that fat people are lazy.

You know what? Don’t call me lazy.

I’ve been going to a personal trainer for a year now. I go 2-3x a week. I work my hard, sweat hard, and watch what I eat. My arse just happens to be larger than I’d like. I did an hour of Yoga yesterday in the park with a coach. I weight train, and I do cardio work. I also weigh about 250 pounds. Get over it…and don’t assume I’m lazy.
