Buy Walking VideosPostSecret: Be Thin
This postcard from PostSecret made me feel so sad for the girl who sent it in.
It reads:
I only think about killing myself when I work out at the gym.
I know that no matter how hard I try
I’ll never be thin or even average.
I often wonder if any of the other big girls around me
are thinking the same thing.
I just wanted to take this girl in my arms and give her a big hug. I know it feels like you can’t do it, but that is just not true. You CAN get to a healthy weight.
In fact, it is only your belief that you’ll never be thin that is holding you back. If you can change that deep-rooted thought about yourself, you’ll be able to change your life. If there is only one thing that I could tell you, it would be, “You CAN do this!”
PostSecret‘s beneficiary is the National Hopeline Network. It is a 24-hour hotline (1 (800) SUICIDE) for anyone who is thinking about suicide or knows someone who is considering it.

I saved two of the postcards to my computer this week – that one, and the one about feeling better than everyone when their treadmill is set at a faster pace. I plan to write about that one tomorrow 😉
This one also made me feel sad. I felt like it could be a friend of mine saying that, and I just wanted to say “I am proud of you for even going to the gym. You’ll get there, keep at it!” But it can be very discouraging. 🙁

Well, I would say that maybe you won’t be thin, but you’ll be healthy and more comfortable in your body when you make it move more.

Kilax,
I also saved the treadmill postcard. It is coming up later this week.
