AMAZINGLY FIT, inspirational MOTHER-OF-THREE *or* ‘FAT SHAMER’? SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, please comment below. “What’s your excuse?” FACEBOOK MOM RECEIVES thousands of HATE MESSAGES… Some people are calling her a bully, insensitive, hurtful, hateful and just plain wrong for sharing this photo… ueemdpxa8vs
Here’s what one commenter had to say: “People like you who post pictures like this make me cry because without surgery I will never look like you.”
Here’s what Maria Kang herself had to say about this:
***”Some saying I’m a bully, I’m fat-shaming and I need to apologize for the hurt I’ve caused women. I get it. SO here’s my First and Final Apology:
I’m sorry you took an image and resonated with it in such a negative way. I won’t go into details that I struggled with my genetics, had an eating disorder, work full time owning two business’, have no nanny, am not naturally skinny and do not work as a personal trainer. I won’t even mention how I didn’t give into cravings for ice cream, french fries or chocolate while pregnant or use my growing belly as an excuse to be inactive.
What I WILL say is this. What you interpret is not MY fault. It’s Yours. The first step in owning your life, your body and your destiny is to OWN the thoughts that come out of your own head. I didn’t create them. You created them. So if you want to continue ‘hating’ this image, get used to hating many other things for the rest of your life. You can either blame, complain or obtain a new level of thought by challenging the negative words that come out of your own brain.
With that said, obesity and those who struggle with health-related diseases is literally a ‘bigger’ issue than this photo. Maybe it’s time we stop tip-toeing around people’s feelings and get to the point. So What’s Your Excuse? – Maria Kang”***
I personally think Maria Kang sharing her story can inspire the rest of us… If we let it! What do you think? Please share your thoughts below!
