[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2100787, member: 372207"] Your apologies are accepted and appreciated, at least by me. Not for the video you posted, as I chose to not watch it because I expected I wouldn't find it funny, but for the earlier post you made: I'm fat, 'well endowed' (to my regret) and I can't stand clothes that try to sqeeze or strangle me. So should I choose to visit a gym and do the things you're supposed to do in a gym, everything would kind of bounce, blubber and jump in all directions for everyone to see. While I'm happy you're bg turned out not affected by such a sight, for us fat and bouncy people it's hard to do a public work out knowing that people look at you and find it funny, or worse. It's not the people laughing in your face that make it the hardest, as they're simply ******** so who cares. It's knowing people get home and tell their friends about 'this fat woman working out with her ***** hitting her ears' and having a laugh about it. To my thinking the woman you saw was pretty brave. Personally, I don't do the gym, but I love swimming. Walking around in a swimming pool with your body for everyone to see is not especially fun when not happy with your body and having been made fun about enough to be quite self conscious. I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't do the things they'd like to do because the stares and the heard thoughts, real or imaginary, have simply become too much to face. So yes, I very much appreciate your apology. For one, I realized that I'm not exactly innocent, as yes, I have a laugh about people too sometimes, and what I felt when reading your post reminded me to try to do better in the future. [/QUOTE]
