Scene: Outdoors
Enter a 21 female. Slowly jogging and overweight in the outdoors, sweating and breathing heavily. The young female begins to slow her pace and begins to walk along the sidewalk and streets. She continuosly looks at the fellow outdoor runners that pass her by, wondering if they are judging her for walking instead of keeping a running pace. The female begins to attempt to run and push herself in order to keep up with everyone outside but knows that her body can not handle anymore and needs to recover a little. Her attention shifts to the small child in the car speaking to her mother at the stoplight, where the child appears to be pointing at the girl. The girl believes the child is judging her for being overweight. The girl overlooks this and decides to give up for the day because of her own paranoia that she is being judged for her weight while attempting to exercise. She walks home while still passing by the other runners.

I noticed allot of girls wrote about body anxieties in their blogs. I realize there is a huge insecurity and self-hatred around body size, I think It is interesting to reflect on why allot of us chose to write about this. I wrote about the topic because I constantly bash myself for not being the "right size" and I think this thinking is incredibly destructive to our self image. I wish commercials had models that looked like regular people!
