and no doubt, endurance sports (my chosen poison) are clearly easier for EVERYONE in a leaner body. this is true. what wasn't true was the power that I placed on my fat. like people who believe that once you are thin, you will suddenly have the perfect marriage, the perfect career, the perfect children. I believed that if only I were thin, I could be an amazing runner, and just effortlessly glide across the finish with my miss america wave, only this time, I would be a fast chick. no puking required
You are so right, Wendy. We're ALL working hard to achieve our goals. Though some may have genetics on their side giving them a little boost, we all have to work hard to be where we want to be. Let's not trivialize someone's hard work by calling it easy just because it looks easy from our vantage point...
