Act your weight - Friday, May 8th, 2026
Act your weight
There’s a video making the rounds right now of a woman trying to go viral by telling other women to “act their weight.”
Her message?
If you’re 160 lbs, take your attitude to the treadmill.
If you’re over 115 lbs, don’t even come for her.
Respect, to her apparently, has a weight attached to it.
It’s gross. While it might just be a clickbait thing, it taps into something deeper.
For years, women have tied their worth to their body.
To a number on a scale.
To a size on a tag.
And yes, this shows up for men as well, it isn’t one sided. But this video was aimed at women, so while I’m directing this blog more towards women, it absolutely goes both ways.
A body is not a character trait.
A number on a scale is not a measure of your discipline, your value, or your worth.
I don’t weigh 115 lbs, not even close. I actually don’t know what I weigh, because I don’t own a scale. Every single day, I walk into this facility that I co-own and put my “not 115 lb” self to work.
I lift heavy weights. She also made mentioned to the fact that us not 115lb women, clearly don’t “pull our weight” in the gym either. I beg to differ. I pull my not 115lbs body to chin above the bar on pull ups. I also run, jump, climb, and push through workouts that demand everything I’ve got. And the best part, I’m surrounded by tons of women (and men) doing the same.
Women who are strong.
Women who are capable.
Women who are building confidence through what their bodies can do, not what they look like.
Not one of us is defined by the number on a scale.
Listen closely.
Fitness is never a punishment.
Not ever.
Not for your size.
Not for something you ate.
Not for something you drank.
Fitness is a celebration of the incredible things your body is capable of doing.
Period.
It’s showing up when it’s hard.
It’s learning new skills.
It’s failing, trying again, and getting better.
That’s where confidence comes from.
That’s what deserves respect.
We all have enough pressure coming at us already.
We don’t need to add to it by tearing each other down over something as meaningless as a number on a scale.
We should be the ones building each other up.
Reminding each other what we’re capable of.
Creating spaces where strength, effort, and resilience matter more than appearance. And certainly matter more then trying to get attention online through likes and clicks on an insulting video.
If she wanted attention online, she certainly got it. But attention built on putting others down? That’s not power.
A room full of strong, capable women, showing up and doing hard things together?
That is.
