People!!

I dont know if anyone else has ever experienced this, but it made me so angry!!

I went for a walk on my lunch break today, and before I left, I changed my clothes, but did not wash my make up off (sorry, it wasnt happening). So I head outside and get down by the boardwalk where I like to walk, and these 2 younger girls (like 18-19 years old) walk by me, then turn around and start walking behind me. Normally I have my ipod blaring but I was setting up my Nike + so the music hadnt started yet. Girl A says to Girl B "Man I think its so stupid when people wear full makeup when they are working out". I let it go because honestly, I sometimes think its looks silly to be all made up when your just going to sweat it off, but whatev. THEN (and this is what made me mad) Girl B replies "Oh she probably does it because shes fat and needs all the help she can get to look human"

I stopped dead in my tracks and little girl A ran right into me. I turned around and glared at them and was like "I can hear every work you said" Girl A looked like she was going to puke, Girl B just looks at me and says "Yeah, so what. Lose some weight" and walks away!

I am fuming! FUMING! What right does this girl have to say things like that to people? What did her parents teach her growing up? I know if I ever found out my son treated someone like that I would flip!

On a positive side (I always try to find the positive) she totally made me amp up my walk....not because she told me to lose weight, but because I was so damn mad I had to work off some of that adrenaline before heading back to my office, where I would have probably lost it on some poor nurse.

oh man.
some people are just unhappy and have to talk about others to keep the focus off of their own lives. so sorry to hear you got the brunt of their heinous behavior.
i hope your day takes a turn for the better. :flowerforyou:

PoshTaush

I would have had a really hard time not saying some really ugly things to those girls!!! Sheesh.... Props to you for being controlled in your response.

questionablemethods

I probably would have clocked her, honestly. And then had a whole host of other problems on my hands.... But seriously, I'm sorry that those little twits were so stupid. They'll get what is coming to them for being miserable, immature human beings.

You keep up the great work! I can't say I would have taken it as well as you did!

WannaBHottyMommy

OMG I think i would have chased those *****es down.

They just think they will be 18 y/o forever and they'll never battle any weight issues.

Just pray for them, like my new favorite song, that a flower pot will fall off a window sill, there breaks will go out going down a hill.


I am so sorry.

My adrenaline is pumping for you! Sorry that you encountered such stupid people. You didn't deserve to be talked to like that and the only thing you can do is shake it off. And visualize the little tart tripping on the boardwalk and knocking her own teeth out. :-) Sorry, i have a bit of a dark side.

Keep up the good work!!

Wow that is harsh. Hope karma gives them a good ole B"tch Slap!

We should compile a list of witty comebacks we can all use in such circumstances, such as ....


"Well one day, you'll be fat too. Think on that, you little Twitard!" (Twi as in Twilight, tard as in retard)

lucky1ns

I had a girl ask me if she could have my seat in the front of a ride at universal studios and when I said no she said she was going to kick my azz.

I am glad you let them know you could hear what they were saying. Maybe next time they will think twice before being so ignorant. If it is any consolation usually catty people have such horrible feelings about themselves that that is why they are the way they are. Who cares what they think. I hope your day gets better.

RushinBruisette

OMG!! I praise you for your self control, because I think I would have said worse and maybe more... I can't believe the nerve some people have these days. Remember, karma will come back around to them *insert evil grin here*

^^ What she said!

Congrats on the 20 pounds that you've lost so far, by the way!
I'm a big believer in Karma, a girl that ugly on the inside will get what she has coming to her!

KristyO

Isn't it crazy how unhappy people have to spread their poisin? They aren't satisfied with just being miserable alone, they have to take others down with them.

Keep up the good work!!!

My blood is pumping just reading this!!!! I can't stand people like that and you are right, it has everything to do with how their parents raised them.
My dad is a marine (retired) and my mom has always been a busy bee so we were on our own a lot but they taught me to think before I speak. You NEVER know what the other persons sittuation is. NEVER. What is you had cancer and you just liked wearing make-up because it made you feel pretty... they don't know! How crappy would they have felt... ERRR I am getting worked up.

Either way- just know you are fabulous and you are making the changes you need to make
Way to go for being the bigger person!

AlynnP1005

Thanks everyone, I have a million things that I can think of to say to them now, but in the moment, I had nothing.....just shock that people are so rude. I can honestly say thats the first time I ever personally encountered something like that, and I dont wish it on anyone.

I am a huge beleiver in karma, so I do hope they get what they deserve lol

crking

Wow the nerve of some people! The only reason why people say things like that is because they are insecure with themselves. I give all the praise in the world for those who get out there and exercise. I think it's awesome! Keep it up an don't let anyone discourage by nasty things. Just know you are better than that!

lobster888

The best one ever heard was "So what, I am fat - but you are ugly (inside and out) - and I can lose weight!" But you seem too nice to even say that!!! You are a really a "GOOD" person!!! You should be proud of yourself!!!!!

melodyg

Oh, I probably would have gone off on them too. I've never understood what compels people to make such rude comments about others.

pamw22

UH UH!!!! :explode:

1.) I would have turned once I heard her mouth!!!! Walked up to her right at her face and been like WTF did you just say you ^)#)&%#$*%&_#*$#_&% and if she would have said something I would have knocked her out:drinker:

2.) On the other hand I would have just turned around and insulted her back and give her a warm warning to get the F#$* out of my face before its too late :flowerforyou:

GOOD DAY :blushing:

kelly_a

I go along with all the comments....I too wear makeup....exercising...mowing the lawn (push & rider)....look out sweeties, I'll chase you with my mower! :bigsmile:

I was walking my dog in an adjacent neighbor last summer and passed a group of teenagers hanging out at the community gazebo. My dog is adorable and one of the guys started making kissy noises at Lexi. One of the skinny, twitty teenage girls in the group looked at him with a confused expression on her face and then was like "OHH there's a dog!!" (apparently she didn't see Lexi at first cause of the bushes). Yeah....cause I'm just so fat that no one would ever make cat calls to me.

Another time....my two (also big girl) friends and I were walking to the car after a night at the bar. We had had a GREAT night. We were about to cross the street but had to wait for a car to pass. As the car passed, a punk *kitten* dip$hit hung halfway out the car and hollared "Hey! why don't you take your fat a$$e$ home?!?" Then they circled around the parking lot to REPEAT IT a second time as we were walking to the car.

Another time years ago....I was crossing campus at school on a deserted weekend to drop off some paperwork. I was the only person at a crosswalk and there was one car with 3 guys in it. They had their windows down and started cat calling to me. Then they started laughing and one said "thats just wrong." I was dressed like crap, I know that, but still.


There are *kitten* in the world. There will ALWAYS be *kitten* in the world. You will never get away from them. Even if I was my goal weight, people will still be rude and negative cause instead of dealing with their own unhappiness, they insult other people.

bluiz13

LOL...not at you but the what i thought of when i finished reading the other posts...

seriously, you should have said, you just wait you skinny little *kitten*, you too will struggle with your weight someday...good luck with that....

or you could have said, with a big smile on your face, you should see where i came from and just wait until you see me in the future...i'll be running your *kitten* off the boardwalk....

as hard as it is, let it go as ignorant bad parenting and then take a breathe and realize what they think/say means nothing to WHAT you have accomplished so far and where you are going...it sucks but the best thing you can do it move on....

GinaB30

That was so hurtful, rude and uncalled for!

Mean people suck!

On a good note, some day they'll probably wake up and realize how hurtful that was because THEY'LL have weight to lose.

I was skinny at 18 too....lol =o)))

Vallandingham

They may get it some day; they may not. Doesn't matter.

I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Mean and stupid people will always find a way to be mean and stupid. This wasn't about you, they just wanted to act out and you were there.

peggy60

Some people are TRULY ignorant!!! :mad: Ya know I honestly believe that "What goes around, comes around, Karma, Reap what you sow" How ever you want to say it! To bad you could not seem them in a few years...ya never know what is going to happen in your life....lose a job, someone you love,an illness that will trigger off the unhealthy eating patterns....when this happens to them I hope that someone says something to them and they picture your face and know how it truly feels. Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

I agree! If you were a skinny supermodel they would've had something to say. Bottom line is, you were out there doing what you needed to do to get where you want to be. It takes an ignorant person to not be able to see that and to even think it's their place to tell you what you need to do. I do like that you stood up for yourself for the first time and confronted them. I am also shocked that you were able to control yourself enough to react the way you did! I'm like the rest of these guys......it would not have been a pretty picture!!! For what it's worth......we're proud of you! Keep up the good work!
