Ok so that was my thought throughout the entire article.  At my gym they have an "inspirational Story of the Year" contest and the only ones that win are fatasses who lost some weight. Some who even went from very very fat to just fat. While there are people I know who go there who are way more deserving, who have overcome tons of challenges, like my friend who still worked hard at exercising even though she was going through chemo, who didn't win because they weren't fat to begin with.  Also the lady I see at the gym who's in her 40's and pregnant with twins who I saw come in everyday to still get her cardio in. Great motivation.  I even entered one year because I've been terribly ill my whole adult life and started working out as a weak ass 83lb girl (at 4'11) who could barely lift anything and busted her ass to get to 95lbs with lots of muscle and a six pack. And I didn't win either, despite many strangers who see me at the gym tell me I'm inspirational.  It's only the fatties that win this shit. This year it was a fatty alcoholic who gave up alcohol and lost weight and BAM TOTAL INSPIRATION.  Oops sorry to rant it just pisses me off.
