So here's that we can chalk up to good ole 'Murica.

This is one where you really need to follow the link to see the photo as well. My particular favorite line is "not everybody wants to look like you."

I had a healthy laugh at that. Of course you do!

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/16/what-your-excuse-fit-mother-facebook-post-ignites-controversy/?intcmp=obnetwork

She looks very good and poses with her three young kids, but 16,000 comments and 12,000 plus shares later, mother Maria Kang is defending herself.

The photo in question has Maria in a sports bra, looking very fit, with the title, "What's Your Excuse?" Many viewers took offense to what they thought was the message. Some thought it was an attack on overweight people.

For example, Michelle Wyatt, comments, "I'm not fat so please don't take it as I'm ‘miserable' and ‘unhappy' with myself, but not everybody wants to look just like you!! Just saying! Posting pics of yourself and your hot body and telling everybody that they don't have an excuse and that they should look just like you is NOT ok! We all can see that you have a hot body, but posting pics and telling people that they should look just like you will only make them feel worse about themselves when they realize that they can't!!"

Kang later wrote a little apology. It reads, in part, "The first step in owning your life, your body and your destiny is to OWN the thoughts that come out of your own head. I didn't create them. You created them. So if you want to continue ‘hating' this image, get used to hating many other things for the rest of your life."

Many people are now coming to Kang's defense in the comments.

**djones520**

I've seen the photo, I have no problem with it. It wasn't an attack on fat people. It was an attack on those who do nothing but make excuses.

And I think she's dead right. As a parent of 3 young children, I know first hand how difficult time management can get, so if she is still able to stay that "fit" then there is no reason other folks out there who say they "want to", can't.

**kronk**

I've seen the picture with caption before. Definite MILF.

Not everyone can have six-pack abs like that, despite whatever regimen that they adopt. However, "I'm a mom" is a terrible excuse for not looking hot. I demand hotness.

However, slightly over-weight girls try harder.

This message brought to you by Kronk, 30% more immature than you since 1976. Also, by the number L.

Right on. I think it's hilarious that the quote from the article includes the woman saying she "can't" do it.

Oi Vey.

That was my first impression too. Seems that some people are, as you say, just looking for things to take offense at. The good news for those people is that offense is free, and they can take as much of it as they want

And offense also contains no calories

**Alfndrate**

Yeah, it wasn't an attack on fat people or calling them out. As a fat person, I commend her on doing what she's done because she wanted to do it.

She is a mother of 3 kids. She has had to lose pregnancy weight 3 times, all while raising children. She looks great (a little too toned for my tastes, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed). If she can manage to lose weight, keep it off, and tone up what's the excuse that people with more time use?

Spoiler:

Haters,

Hello. You’ve been pretty active recently. It seems every time I go on the internet I see you all, hard at work spewing your misery and envy. Does it get exhausting, Haters? Do you ever come home from a long day of relentless negativity and resentment, and just think to yourselves, “geez, I’m not sure that Hating is really worth all this energy”?

Let me assure you: it isn’t. When that tiny voice creeps into your head, when it whispers those doubts — listen to it. It’s telling you the truth. It’s pointing you back towards the land of the living, where humans charge out into the light, striving for greatness. It’s telling you that there’s more to existence than skulking in the shadows, grumbling and grunting like trolls; sneering at those of us who have made ourselves vulnerable to your barbs by actually trying to get things done.

I see you’ve been pulling double duty on this Maria Kang lady. Oh, she’s just the latest victim of yours; she’s the Hater Flavor of the Week. You’ll have a new one come Monday. But, for now, you’re attacking this woman and accusing her of “fat-shaming.” You’re calling her a “bully” and a “bad mother.” You’ve labeled her a liar and a fraud. You’re flooding her with hate mail (the only sort of mail you know how to send). And why? What has she done to spark your ire? Why have you summoned your legions against her?

Because of this:

MariaKangWhatsYourExcuse

Neither you nor I know very much about Mrs. Kang. I can’t speak to her character, and neither can you (but that won’t stop you). However, based on this image and the articles about her, we know she’s a woman, a wife, a mother, and she’s in extraordinary shape. We know fitness is one of her passions and she’s dedicated herself to encouraging others to take care of their bodies. She sees obesity as a major problem in our society, and she wants to do her part to address it. She thinks that if you want to improve your health, you have to stop making excuses and start taking control of your life. We know all of that because, well, she’s said all of that. It’s also the clear and unmistakable message any rational person would glean from that inspirational poster above.

Here are some things she didn’t say: “Fat people are bad!” “If you aren’t in killer shape, you suck!” “You should be ashamed of your body!” “Overweight people should be sent to forced labor camps!” I could go on. There are literally millions of things she didn’t say, as opposed to the very specific things she did say. Again, rational people listen to what a person actually says, rather than randomly fantasizing a conversation that never happened, and accusing the speaker of saying something that, likely, very few people in the history of the universe have ever said.

No, Haters, she didn’t say any of those things. She didn’t insinuate them. She didn’t suggest them. She didn’t secretly imbed them into that photo with invisible ink. She didn’t write it on a note and send it to your house via carrier pigeon.

But you know that, don’t you?

You’re not really delusional, are you? You KNOW that Mrs. Kang was simply engaging in a little positive encouragement, and you still hate her.

Do you know how I became aware of this “controversy” over Mrs. Kang’s physical fitness? Because I’m apparently Facebook “friends” with a few of you. A couple of days ago, I started seeing people post links to articles about this whole kerfuffle. The commentary you wrote in regards to this story always had a similar theme. Of course you charged Mrs. Kang with being “insensitive” because she committed the crime of being proud of her accomplishments. But you also insisted that she didn’t really accomplish anything at all. You said she’s only in excellent physical condition because she’s “lucky” and she has the “right genetics.” She hasn’t had the same struggles and medical issues as you. “It’s easy for her to look like that,” you professed, caustically.

And this is where I must stop you, Haters. Be as thin-skinned, jealous, and spiteful as you like, but you have no right to take someone else’s successes away from them. You have no right to invalidate their achievements. You have no place. You have no standing. You have not the single, slightest damned clue as to what you’re babbling about. She had it easier than you? What genie from what bottle gave you the power to peer inside a stranger’s conscience and confirm that wild speculation? Are you sure she didn’t just work harder? Why have you ruled that possibility out entirely?

OK, put Mrs. Kang’s case aside for a moment. I want to address your overall outlook on life. I want to speak to this toxic demeanor you try to spread like an infectious disease through our culture.

It is this attitude that I detest. I hate it. I don’t hate you — I hate your attitude. I hate the attitude that leads a person to try and diminish the blood, sweat and tears of the strivers and achievers in our society. I hate the attitude that hates success. To scoff at another’s triumph is about the most anti-American thing you can ever do. You might as well decapitate a Bald Eagle while burning the flag and kissing the Communist Manifesto, because you have officially become the most un-American creature in the galaxy. You are standing on the sidelines and spitting on the people crossing the finish line, and I can’t think of a more detestable hobby than that.

It’s not about her six pack abs or her BMI. It’s not about HER, specifically. Not everyone wants to be, or needs to be, or has any interest in being THAT toned and fit. But nobody needs to be morbidly obese. Most of us could treat our bodies better, and ALL of us make too many excuses. That’s the point. Moreover, Mrs. Kang set a goal for herself and then she went out and grabbed it. How dare you sit back, behind that computer screen, hidden away in your houses, and attempt to belittle the WORK and EFFORT that went into it. Have you ever gone after a goal? Any goal? Have you ever put EVERYTHING you have into something? Anything? With that attitude, I’m guessing not.

Some people climb the mountains. Some people stand at the base and hope the climbers hit a loose rock and fall to their deaths. You seem to be in the latter group. Fine, you’re safe down there on the ground. It’s just that you’re not really alive, either.

Success comes in many forms, and the Haters of America despise it in all of its manifestations. It’s easy to look at someone who is wealthy, or fit, or happily married, or whatever other version of success, and quickly assume that these folks “got lucky.” But there’s a problem with that assumption: these things can’t be accomplished passively. These are the fruits of labor that you don’t see, and maybe can’t even fathom. You aren’t inside their minds to hear that voice telling them to give up, to give in, to stop trying. You can’t hear them fight with that voice every minute of the day.

Nothing is easy, Haters. Everything is earned. They have it because they earned it. You don’t because you didn’t. Deal with it.

It’s OK to have flaws. Lord knows, I’ve got ‘em. I’ve got a massive surplus of flaws. I could be so much better — a better husband, a better father, a better Christian. I could be in better shape. Hell, I could be better at blogging. So I look at the folks who have achieved more than me in these areas and I use them for motivation. Hate them? How could I? I’m hiking the same trail, they’re just farther along.

Everybody faces challenges. Everybody has handicaps of some sort. Do you think yours are more crippling? Do you think yours provide you with unique excuses? Really?

Well, if Mrs. Kang’s Facebook photo didn’t change your mind, how ’bout this:

Kyle_Maynard-Wrestling

That’s Kyle Maynard. He’s a championship wrestler. He has no arms and no legs. What’s your excuse?

Or try this one:

SpencerWestSummit_270x203

That guy is missing the bottom portion of his body. He just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. What’s your excuse?

Here’s another one:

untitled

She’s 77. She just completed the Ironman World Championship. What’s your excuse?

Take a swig of your Hater-fuel and tell me how your excuse is more convincing than theirs. Go ahead, Haters. Tell me how the wrestler with no limbs has only made more of himself because he “got lucky.” Tell me how the elderly woman has an “easier” time staying in shape than you. Look how proud they are. Tell me they’re insensitive for being so sure of themselves.

Go ahead, tell me.

Hello?

That’s what I thought.

But I called this an inspirational message, and I want to deliver on that promise. So here’s the good news: you don’t have to be like this. I’m not saying you should be a bodybuilder, or a millionaire, or anything else; I’m just saying you don’t have to hate success. When you see someone smiling proudly after hitting their target, you don’t have to respond with childish mockery and derision. You don’t have to feel attacked or insulted just because your neighbor is finding happiness and fulfillment in his chosen pursuits. You think your only recourse in the face of greatness is to try to discredit it, but you’re wrong. Your efforts are futile anyway, and they’re also wholly unnecessary. You only carry on like this because you’ve given up on yourselves. You’re running around knocking down sandcastles because you think you aren’t capable of building your own. But you can, my friends. You’re exploding with potential. It would leak out of your pores if only you’d uncross your arms and break a sweat. You can be great at something, I know it. Leave your Hating ways behind and take a step or two down the path to success. It won’t be easy, but the best parts of life are never the easiest parts.

You’ll meet a lot of people along the way. They’re the sort who kick ass and take names. They’re the ones who get things done. They are the folks setting goals and exceeding them. They’re the ones you’ve always Hated so much, but now you’ll be one of them.

You’ll go from Hater to Hated, and, trust me, you’ll never want to go back.

I don’t hate you. I love you, I want you to be happy and successful in whatever way you desire. I know you can be, I just don’t think you know it. Forget about Mrs. Kang. This isn’t about her, she’s just a case study. Congratulate her for what she’s been able to do, then set out to do what you want to do. But, she’s right about what she said: you’ll have to stop making excuses first.

**Talizvar**

"What is your excuse?" is rather open and intentionally confrontational.

I could read:
...for not having three kids and a trophy wife?
...for not having more kids with a wife that looks like that?
...for having so many kids and risking her good looks?
...for not being at home?
...for being able to afford her cosmetic surgery and club fees?
...for working all day rather than spending it at the gym?
...for not being a kept woman?
...for making exercise your #1 priority and #2 paying for a nanny?
...for not marrying an Asian?
...for not springing back from pregnancy after 8 months? (did not neglect the children working on abs like that?? Probably did sit-ups with the baby rather than rock them.)

The image is not hateful at all, rather pleasant really.

She is responsible for "the thoughts that come out of" her head.
So what is with the "excuse" statement.
If she gets flack for it, she deserves it because she asked for it.

Seems more like "I got it and flaunt it", look at me!!!!

Very happy for her success but go troll elsewhere lady.

Meh she doesn't have to apologize for anything. Most people complain they have no time or are too tired to exercise and then proceed to do nothing productive for hours.

I have an office job that doesn't involve much activity, but there is still plenty you can do. On my breaks (2 not including lunch) I walk up from the 5th floor to the 20th and back down. That combined with with a decent diet can make all the difference. Riding my bike here and there combined with 15 minutes of weights every other day just ensures the results are progressive rather than maintenance. If you don't have time for that then well idk....

**Talizvar**

I find that following article bordering on rant about haters rather funny.

Agreed, why knock a positive image? When they assume you have an "excuse" is when.

The one word invalidates the "positive" image she is trying convey.

"You can do this" would have been a better (and more amusing) caption but she would have got a lot less press.

I guess troll wording has it's own reward.

I had a healthy laugh at that. Of course you do!

Many women, particularly athletes and bodybuilders, would not want to look like her.

It also bears mentioning that Maria Kang makes a living by way of fitness, so to hold herself up as a standard is a bit douchey. But, as someone who was a personal trainer and gym manager, douchey is sort of par for the course.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I was going to say something along those lines.

The only problem I can find is that the tone of the caption is confrontational rather than helpful.

Confrontation can be helpful sometimes, I agree, but generally it has to rely on more than a catchy one liner.

So you mean somewhere uncomfortable? Like the back of a Volkswagen?

Really nice find Alf! Shared that, for sure.

I have a ton of friends that are super super into fitness. A lot of the males are single, which from my experience makes it easier to devote a lot of time to it, but it's never once made me hate on them. In fact, more than anything, it's made me more encouraged to make myself more fit. Nearly all of them want to help, too (though some do try to push whatever "program" they use)

Honestly, I think being fit and healthy is important. Not everyone needs to be as toned as Maria Kang, but dammit, it wouldn't hurt society if everyone strived to be more fit. Instead, we've got the ADA declaring obesity a disease.

For most people, any "can't" that exists in regards to exercise is purely mental. Everyone can do something, even the gigantic person that weighs over 500 pounds. You've just gotta be motivated enough to start somewhere.

Is this on Facebook? How does she get 12,000 comments on a personal page on Facebook? Aren't they supposed to be "friends" on facebook? What am I missing?

It isn't a personal page. It is the facebook page which is associated with her website. In essence it is an extension of her business, which is basically a fitness and eating disorder blog.

When did obese people become off-limits, anyway?

I was going to point out that she is a fitness instuctor so that's not really a fair comparison to the rest of society.

Seeing as that has been more or less pointed out I have one last thing to say... Butterface. Seriously guys, MILF? There are probably hotter ageing ladyboys.

I wonder how much she makes or her husband makes that she can afford that body with kids.
And Seaward, It is not that they are off limits it is that having common decency not to be rude to someone has gone away. If this mother went up t someone on the street my size and said "What is your excuse" She would be so in the wrong.

That's when you use my line, "a lot of beer and mini pizzas died to make this body what it is."

Again... she's not calling fat people out, nor is she attacking them.

I appreciate it's Friday and all but if we could try to keep things a wee bit more tasteful and closer to the PG 13 rating with regards to commentary it'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

Golds Gym provides 2 hours of child care a day, for $13 every two weeks in membership fees.

Doesn't take a rich man to afford that.
