Those ladies were so confident and comfortable with themselves. Compare them to slimmer women who obsess about every pound, inch and morsel.
I personally thought the woman at 29 stone was too large and could not believe that she was a fitness instructor. However, I was impressed at how much energy most of them exuded and they certainly carried themselves with poise and aplomb. They certainly inspired me to become comfortable with my own body (but I still want to lose another 7lb
).
