YESTERDAY, IMGUR USER @Mrsjimbeam313 was on the way to the gym when some men proceeded to mock her and call her names.
Like ‘hog’. And ‘fat ass’.
Instead of letting them get her down, however, she decided to persevere and went to the gym anyway. And when she got home, she wrote this excellent message.
“To the grown ass group of men outside of the Wawa,” she wrote. “Your laughter and rude comments didn’t stop me from busting my ass at the gym today.”
Please excuse my lack of makeup and my ratty old clothes. I did not leave the house to impress you today. I went to impress myself and to make my son proud of his mom.
She pointed out that, despite her weight, she’s actually pretty damn healthy.
This “hog” as you so graciously deemed me has been on a journey to better herself. My doctor was blown away by my blood work. My total cholesterol was 118 which is well below the 200 limit for normal. I don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure either. How many of you can say the same? Especially those of you who are clinically obese?
But in spite of their best efforts, she wasn’t discouraged and proceeded to kill it at the gym.
This “fat ass” almost gave up today. After being ridiculed I sat in my car in the parking lot and cried. I wanted nothing more than to go home binge watch “River Monsters”. But I didn’t. I gave you all a big fuck you and busted my fat ass. Over a hour, of sweating and huffing but I did it.
“Now please excuse my big fat ass as I go home to my loving son who probably wants me to run around with him for another hour,” she added.
Since it was posted last night, the photo has made it to the front page of Imgur and been viewed over 33,000 times.
