In the article, it appears (in the beginning, at least) that the writer is insulting a "fat person" who is running the track. As you read on, however, the article completely changes direction to what many readers found to be an inspirational story. As always, there were critics, most notably the person who was the supposed "inspiration" for the post. You can read his response here:
What are your thoughts? Was this an ill-conceived plan to shockingly grab readers attention by appearing to be an insulting fat-shamer turned cheerleader? Or, are we too sensitive as a society to what other people think? A person's weight loss/fitness journey is extremely personal, and as such, should it be open to public scrutiny?
