It's when all the princesses come in with a full face of make up, do 10mins casual walking on the treadmill, use the lightest weights on the machines (because they don't want to get too bulky) and criticise the fat-*kitten*' such as myself for lifting heavy. Today's comment "Don't you think she should do more cardio before she does that? The muscle will be too hidden under the layers of fat, which makes what she is doing pointless." In my head I'm thinking "Walking the speed of a 90year old pensioner so your face doesn't melt is a waste of your time so why don't you F*** OFF." Obviously I didn't say this, my gym is the only one in the area with a squat rack, not getting myself banned for them. They probably won't turn up ever again...
People actually say things like this?! What a bunch of a-holes!
Yea, I don't know if the fact I had earphones in they thought I couldn't hear them. It was the only part I caught in between songs. I don't really want to know what else they said. And apart from them, I was the only other girl in the gym (it's a small gym) so I know it was about me. It sucks. They suck. The whole situation sucked.
That's ridiculous. I think I would've confronted them about it. But then again, back in my heaviest days probably not. Don't let idiots like that discourage you though. If what you're doing is working keep at it. In a few months time you'll be much improved and they will remain the same indefinitely. Walking at 2 mph on the treadmill does nothing but waste time. I don't judge anyone at the gym regardless of what kind of shape they are in if they're making an effort. But the slow treadmill walkers yeah I kinda judge that, haha. I think they do it just to be able to say they "go to the gym" like its the trendy thing to do.
I've gotten more aggressive and confrontational since losing weight. Maybe my T levels are higher, lol, I dunno. I'm not a jerk or anything but I'll stand up for myself when appropriate whereas before I would just stay quiet and be very passive.
Nah, I bet it's just an increase in confidence
At least, that's how it's been for me. I never would've thought about confronting anyone about anything before, but now, I definitely feel like I can and will. If someone said something as nasty as that that to me, I would be like, "B*tch, I will straight-up knock your slow *kitten* off that treadmill!"
Okay, I probably wouldn't have said that exactly
but something similar

I bought a footlong egg salad sub for lunch (major craving) and intended to work the whole thing into today's calories. Only ate half before I realized I was satisfied. On top of being super proud of myself, I now have lunch for tomorrow as well. Yay! 0

I can attest that is a serious issue!! I can make myself "go" on command these days (with the right amount of coffee), it comes in handy.0 -
Me too - I also get incredibly red faced (which I'm totally embarrassed about - and one of the reasons I like to run first thing when there aren't many people around).

Do you have super duper make-up or something? All the women I see end up with mascara half-way down their face. But you are talking to the girl who only puts make-up on for special occasions lol. Even then I hate doing it.
I go after work too, so full makeup, but half of it is gone by the time I leave. Waterproof mascara is wonderful! And I'm the opposite of you...rarely leave the house without makeup because I feel more comfortable with it on.
Ah, you see, I kinda feel I'm not worthy of make-up. My logic is, it's not going to cover up the fact I'm fat. To me it's like putting make-up on *Insert ugly creature here* (I know some people will find one animal ugly but others find cute). I see it as a waste of time, money and effort putting it on, and then more time, money and effort taking it off. But that's my opinion, I know people who HAVE to put make-up on just to nip to the shops. Even worse, I know people who will spend the entire of a Saturday getting ready for that night. What a waste of a day?!
I am one of those people who wears make-up every day. I never used to wear it at all...started about a year and a half ago. That being said, it takes me about 5 minutes to put my make-up on, and if I am having a lazy Saturday at home, I will not put make-up on to run to the store. I am fat, but I think I am beautiful...definitely not an ugly creature.0 -
I don't want to seem like I'm judging anyone, but I like you.0

Confession - I got to wear two wedding dresses. For my second wedding I just went to David's Bridal. Got to feel like a fat cow twice (really, didn't feel sexy one bit in those dresses). Can't remember what dessert for my first wedding was.
Second confession - food truck festival tomorrow and I'm completely psycho about it. One minute I want to go so badly, the next I don't because I know I'll eat all the foods (seriously, they have pretty much everything I love there). I really don't know what to do (the kids want to go, obviously).
Third confession - I haven't worn make up in probably 20 years.0 -
Double posted again.MissLaaber wrote: »I made the mistake of making my cookies & cream protein shake with water instead of cashew milk this morning. I had to force myself to drink it. I will NOT be making that mistake again.
Confession: We went to Jose Peppers for dinner last night (first night all week my husband has been home before 8). I ate so many chips, about 1/3 of the espinaca dip and half of a grilled chicken chimichanga that was smothered in more espinaca dip washed and I washed it all down with a full calorie delicious Dr. Pepper.
I have 100% no regrets about any food decisions yesterday even though I woke up a pound heavier this morning.
I must ask, how is cashew milk? I've heard all about it but I'm not sure if I would like it.
To be honest, I thought I would HATE it. I despise almond, soy and other non-dairy milk substitutes. I had no reason to believe cashew milk would be any different. I mean, I don't even like cashew nuts that much to begin with.
My husband bought it on a whim. The first thing he made with it was a cookies and cream and peanut butter shake. I died. I just could not believe how delicious this drink was. It was like a fancy schmancy drink you'd order at some overpriced coffee house.
It's a little on the pricey side, but it's non-dairy which is easy on my tummy and it's WAY healthier than milk. We've been buying it ever since.
Do you have the recipe for that cookies and cream and peanut shake?0 -

My whole life I have been very sensitive to heat. Even when I was underweight I would get hot very easy. If it was 65f/18C degrees outside I would at the least need a fan going. I am currently dressed in four pairs of socks, three pairs of pants, three shirts with a sweatshirt over the top and I am wearing fluffy finger-less gloves. I am still freezing! My confession is that I am the reason no one has any hot water! Sitting in a hot tub is the only time I am warm. If I could sleep in there I would.
Have you had your thyroid checked. I, even being obese, was so cold all the time. Once I got my thyroid regulated, I am more normal. I am still cooler than normal people, but not as cold as I was.0 -
@quiksylver296 - Why did you get flagged on the grapefruit post?0

Cuz I called someone 'rude' who was being rude? Not sure. But it kinda makes me happy - first flags!0 -

Aww...this makes me sad. I don't wear makeup 99% of the time because I don't want to spend the time or money AND and I think I'm damn sexy without it. (I also have a twinge of uncomfortableness with the idea that just women do it - like we have to fix ourselves for public consumption.) If you WANT to wear it, please don't let anything stop you, especially not feeling like you're not worthy. Hugs.0 -

But you realize it and can put a stop to it! Don't let others make you feel guilty for it, either! You take control of your life for YOU. Putting yourself first and others second is not selfish. You can do it!
I know it is easier said than done. No one in my immediate family eats healthy or worksout. They probably all think I have an obsession, but I don't care. I'm healthy and happy and they all have health issues. Just trying to help.0 -

Yep, pretty sure that IS the definition of "going for a walk" for a cat! Funny.0 -
I tried this a couple of times with one of my long-ago cats. We called it "Going for a drag".
