I saw this article this morning and I find it so ridiculous, I had to post about it. The article is about professional gymnast Shawn Johnson losing 25 lbs because people were calling her fat. FAT!!! She is a professional gymnast for crying out loud! Now I'm not criticising her for losing weight. If she is healthy and comfortable in her own skin now, then I am very happy for her! What I can't believe is the fact that some people were actually calling her fat. Not everyone is built the same! Shawn Johnson has a very athletic build. She has a ton of power in her gymnastics because she has incredible muscles! And muscles take up space. With America's insane obesity problem, she is the last person anyone should be criticising for weight, unless they are her doctor or coach. There is a difference between fat and muscle. Finally, there is a difference between telling someone you are concerned about them because of their health/ weight and blasting someone on the internet. Shawn Johnson, if you ever read this, don't listen to those jokers that called you fat.
Gah! Okay. Rant done. :)
