national adopt a fat person at the gym day

[Galen]

And i am being serious here. I see a lot of dogging on fat people and clueless people in the gym. Instead of that shit try being an ambassador to ur sport or way of life. It prolly takes a lot of courage for some of those people to walk their overweight body thru the door of a gym. There is a lot of knowledge and a lot of hard bodies on this board but that don't mean shit if u don' t give anything back. Next time ur at the gym pick a fat, clueless person and offer encouragement and complement any type of progess u can see. Offer to help them with a training plan (keep it very easy ), eating plan, etc. Try it and post back ur experiences. These people prolly view u as having a perfect physique and u can't imagine how positive a simple word of encouragement can be. Later

I do this everyday. It's really a great thing to let them know they are noticed and

that they have support. Hey, we all started somewhere!

Very Richard Simmonesque, indeed!

one of the slobs at work asked me about nutrition just now. I had the feeling that he really wasn't going to want to sit through everything I knew (not that I know that much) - so I offered to bring in some magazines so he could read up on it himself.
that would be cool if he really can stick with it.

its not that we make fun of all fat people, i used to be fat, and got made fun off.. i'll help any one out in the gym if they come to me and ask for adivce, fat or not.. and if i see a fat person in the gym ACTYUULY doing somthing, it inspires me.. its the fat people that dont do anything about there fat, and refuse to belive there fat that i have a problem with..
