Should you praise overweight people for exercising? Bitter Washington Post writer says no; I say yes

I just got back from my running club's monthly meeting tonight when I read this Washington Post article my brother sent me entitled: "I’m a plus-sized woman. I never want to hear 'I’m proud of you’ for exercising. Stop the condescending praise for your overweight friend for hitting the gym." My first reaction was: "Speak for yourself, lady. Because you don't speak for this plus-sized woman!"

The article ticked me off so much that I feel compelled to do a rant on it. Warning: there will be no baseball content in this article, so if you're looking for my latest musings on the state of the Yankees, come back tomorrow!
