Generally speaking, I think people who say that have never experienced the type of intense or chronic pain (or crippling fatigue) that others have felt. They do need to walk a mile in those shoes before they judge, but they really aren't interested in anything but their agenda and validating their worldview.<br /><br />Unfortunately, most people see it that way about nearly everything. One of my mental exercises is to attempt to validate other people's viewpoints about a variety of topics even when they are very much in opposition to mine. This is extremely hard and sometimes, I can't do it, but I try!screaming fatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556199963917842135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239703775224526488.post-74989481153829808712012-04-15T12:53:26.292-07:002012-04-15T12:53:26.292-07:00I always think that no experience is wasted, if on...I always think that no experience is wasted, if one learns a good life lesson from it. What a wonderful way for you to conceptualize your humanity, both when you lost the weight and when you regained it.<br />I will share my own human foible re. my impatience and judgement of people who have not experienced a certain condition (i.e. injury or chronic pain) and they cannot fathom the loss of motivation, physical and emotional drain and depression leading to inactivity of those who suffer it. <br />I cannot say that I rejoice or even mildly enjoy the comeuppance of such individuals when they have their first experience with such injury or pain. I DO have to refrain, however, from asking if they still believe that one should crawl, hop and drag herself on bloody feet, do what it takes but get out there and run and stop with the excuses.dlambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499771234654872541noreply@blogger.com
