I am so tired of the way that we as a nation treat those that are over-weight. The world as made it seem as if over-weight people are less than, inferior, or somehow not deserving. This is abosolutely ridiculous and a direct insult to God. There are countless scriptures on how we are not to judge others. Matthew 7:1-2.
We have absolutely no right to judge or treat those that are overweight any differently. God created us in is likeness and image Genesis 1:26.
We don't know what they may have experienced, if they have a medical issue, a addiction to food, or whatever the case may be. It is up to us to love them just as we are commanded by God. If a over-weight person reaches out to you, then treat them as you would want God to treat them. We are all God's children. Check out Why So Many Over-eat"
We need to stop tolerating in our daily lives and activities. Maybe once we do that, maybe just maybe the mass media will take our lead!

The Thought Of Going To The Gym Scares Me
THE THOUGHT OF GOING TO THE GYM SCARES ME
This is something that I have never understood and is really just another excuse. For some the gym has become nothing more than a social outlet and many spend more time trying to show off and meet people. However, for those that are serious about working out it is an excellent place to go for exercise. The gym offers all of the equipment and environment necessary for a good WORK OUT. You have absolutely nothing to be afraid of Donna Richardson does a excellent job of providing insight on exercise, body image, and diet. Check it out here Lets Get Real
For me personally, if I am spending money on something I have to get something out of it. If you go to the gym I recommend going at different times to determine when you are most comfortable. Many of the gyms are 24 hours 7 days a week. You can go at times when there is no one but the employees and you and maybe a few other people. Some gyms also offer women only facilities.
You can also utilize a trainer to at least show you the basics such as form and how to use the equipment so that you remain safe. Remember no one can exercise for you. No matter how much someone wants to they cannot do the work for you. They can demonstrate, motivate, and inspire you but they cannot do for you.
If you are distracted by others, I recommend taking some type of music that you can get lost in. It will help you find a rhythm so that you become distracted to the point that you forget that you are exercising. I do not recommend reading because you do not want to lose complete focus. You will stop exercising to re read or find your spot.

Do you feel there is a benefit to the gym or do you feel that you can get a sufficient WORK OUT without going to the gym?
