In reply to the discussion: Omaha woman loses 130 pounds, wins figure competition first time she wears bikini in public [View all]SusanCalvin
(6,592 posts)2. I am sorry that she was bullied while she was overweight,
But I don't see how this reaction to that is useful.
If it's for her vanity or whatever, that's her right, but I have my right to my opinion of it.
Edited to add that I grew up in the Kennedy fitness years and loathed the coercion aspect. It's why I hate most exercise to this day, and get my back up at the mere implication of "jock."
