In her own words…

I’ve experienced more body shaming in this last week than I have in my entire life.

But the truth is - it’s happened for me at every weight and size and it’s been relentless in my entire existence starting when I was on a playground.

What’s the point of body shaming? No really. What is it? To keep us feeling small, playing small? Too much, never enough?

I have a unique perspective. I’ve put my body through hell to be a size 0 and I was miserable, unhealthy, crumbling. But I would have done anything to escape the body shaming I received at a larger size. But guess what? It still happened. And guess what? Most of it came from within. So when they tell me how not enough I am, I remember what it felt like to live small to be small.

When I shared the video of my walk and I said in the caption that I knew it would receive negativity but it mattered more to me that we showed up for our ONE FREAKING LIFE, I meant it.

These negative commenters are not the ones that need us. They’re not our kids or our partners or our memories. They’re not US.

So I’m sharing with you some of the messages that are the kind we focus on, the ones we give our energy to.

Because while I have this one life to live, We also have only so much energy to give. And I believe we are collectively better when we choose to not just give kindness but receive it louder than the rest.

There will be many in this life that won’t like you. Don’t be one of them.

So cheers to us, exactly right now.

    I think she’s bringing this up so that she can gather more of an army behind her for the inevitable sh*tstorm that’s coming with Jeanette’s expose. She wants people to rally behind her and this is how she’s manipulating people into it. 😡 also the story she posted that ‘she’s fine’ and actually running 3 races this month- get the effff over your dang self. Gawd. She’s very arrogant and it’s gross.

        So she has until the end of August but she’s going do her 3-5kms by the end of June 🤔. Also I guess what she’s saying here is all her stories she posts all day everyday are just bs lies.

            She would drop her workout routine but she can’t because she most definitely does not exercise regularly. These 3-5k’s if she does them is the only thing she has done since RunDisney 😂 and she’s only doing it for the bloody medals. Like who the hell does she think she’s fooling?

          They must be all bs and lies because anyone who watches them believes they knows exactly how she lives her life. She shows us in real time. Could it all be scripted and she’s really a completely different person?

          ETA - on tne race timeline - She’s not going to finish in June! She is absolutely not an over-achiever

            She could be specifically talking about exercising? Which she never shows herself doing. Has said she has not run since January. Shows herself planted on her couch literally binge watching all the time. I’m pretty sure that is accurate 😂
