I'm not particularly sensitive to comments about my weight; I even make jokes about it myself. But I am getting pretty tired of it now. From a skeptical "are you in shape for that?" when discussing the trip with someone I thought was a friend before I left, to just about everybody I meet out here having to tell me how I'm going to lose weight (or whatever 'clever' way they phrase it), every Tom, Dick, and Harry has to put his two cents in.
Really? Am I overweight? Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't noticed. It's not like it's pretty much the dominating feature of my life that I think about all the time because it negatively affects every aspect of my life. Oh, you think I'll lose weight out here doing this? Gee, I hadn't thought of that. I was just out here with this heavy-assed pack because I like punishing myself.
I know most of them don't mean to be assholes. It just gets old.

Don't mind them. Do your thing and be happy!
Are you getting the rainy blues? well i am.
Ugh, yes. All...day...long. Perfect day to have a hotel waiting at the end of it.
Agreed. I stopped when i sighted my first. Are you almost Keys Free? Going up hwy 1 towards Homestead is gonna be brutal for you I was thinking that a couple of days ago. But not as bad as the 7 mile bridge.
Islamorda tonight. And tomorrow: taking a break. First reasonably-priced hotel in the Keys.
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the roadwalk from Key Largo to Big Cypress. But then it's real wilderness hiking snd no paying for campsites.
Where are you? Getting close to St. Augustine?
ahh not really that close. Im in La belle , like 30 miles east of fort myers. I think my map says I have another 380 miles to cover. Exciting stuff ha
