We often hear about fat-shaming. A friend recently asked if I have written about fit-shaming. (I have not. Frankly, I am embarrassed that I have never been fit-shamed.) Let’s get to the point, shaming anyone for their body is wrong. Thank our Creator that we are all different in so many ways. Whether fit or fat, what is most important that we are all striving to be the best we can be Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Socially. Shaming anyone for their fitness (or lack thereof) demonstrate our own lack of well-centered fitness. Shaming anyone demonstrates how much our social skills suck and our own Emotional immaturity. Moreover, it demonstrates a void of Spiritual awareness. (Still, I don’t find it surprising that my friend—a bodybuilder—was thusly shamed at church after speaking about Jesus as the perfect example of health, wellness, and fitness.)
Rather than shaming, we need to be supportive and grow in our collective well-centeredness.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
