That I'm not strong0

You probably already know this, but most people don't believe I ever used to be fat.0
-
That I have always been into fitness.
that Im 24, lol but I dont mind when this one happens.0 -
Everyone assumes I am about 10 years younger than I am...ok not a bad thing but then they dont believe my kids are my kids!0

I don't!
It's amazing what one can do when they put their mind to it.0 -
That i never argue with everyone
That i'm always calm
That i'm 14... this gets old.
That i only like healthy food.0 -
I am 50 and just learning about myself. Bout time, huh?
It seems I appear to be a doormat because I am kind and compassionate.
I am here to say, I am no longer. Wipe your feet on me and I shall trip you.
Just sayin

That I'm around 15/16...I'm 24
That I couldn't win in a fight *snorts*******
That I'm a pushover *holds sides*
And that I'm sweet and innocent *collapses in fits of laughter*0 -
That I'm a nice person. Lol.0
-
People trip out when they meet me in person. I talk to 99% of my clients over the phone and none of them would ever think I was black. Dude I just have a Seattle, Wa/ California accent..lol
So I have heard "you sound white" which I just sound proper and enunciate. It has never bothered me. I was a sportscaster for years so it comes with the territory.0 -
I honestly dont know what people think. You tell me!! LOL0
-
People believe I am lazy and immobile because of my size. Even when I'm in the gym! Then I do 15-20 mins on the elliptical..and the rower... and then something else... and they look at me in complete disbelief. By the time I'm all red-faced and sweaty, they start changing their views!
I have the opposite of people thinking you were never fat. People never believe I was active as a child. (Fastest sprinter when I was young, played sports like rugby and hockey when I was older).
I guess we should all try to learn not to judge from first appearances, right?0 -
That I cant kill you with my bare hands..... studied karate for 12 years0
-
Because I have big boobs people seem to think I'm a slut. Also people seem to think I'm younger than I am. I used to be the youngest at my workplace and civic involvement. I'm not anymore but I keep hearing "we really need more young people like you to get involved! "0
-
That I'm older than I am. That I'm angry/quick tempered etc (red hair!)0
-
1. That I come from a wealthy family. I just happen to be very fortunate and lucky so end up living the same life as the wealthy...this shows through my natural face structure (although I try not to show it in pics here, I often look very mature/serious in real life >_<) and I wear very nice clothing and stuff...Although I think my lifestyle is the main contributor!
＼(＾▽＾/*) Ive never heard of this before tho, so I think it is uncommon! I tend to get what I want.
2. That I am more normal...Im actually very weird. People are always shocked at first with small details about myself, but really, that is when I am trying to show a more normal side of myself haha. (￣▽￣)Y
3. My personality is more serious...I often make mature decisions in life because I want a good life (obviously ＼(－－)／!), but my personality is really a bit goofy I think.0 -
That I'm good with pain.
---> FALSE. I am actually just really good at hiding it! Whether it's physical or emotional, people always tell me they can never tell if something hurts or not.
That I wear contacts.
---> FALSE: I have green eyes and so many people think they're fake.
That I'm a teacher.
---> FALSE: I'm still a student! However, I'm studying to become a teacher.
That I love to workout.
---> FALSE: I'm a gymaholic!0 -
First time they see me: I'm a Hard *kitten*, Inflexible *kitten* (Sometimes they are right).
Never believe that I grew up in the projects of NY. I lived in Edenwald Projects in the Bronx until I was 22. Didn't move to Hudson Valley NY until I turned 33.0 -
That I played volleyball or basketball. ( I'm 5'11 with broad shoulders but I'm a terrible athlete)0
-
now that i lost so much weight everyone thinks im anorexia and starving myself my goal is 125 and 5'8 everyone thinks something wrong with me and i get the pity look all the time and whispers about me behind my back at work. and the famous "if you ever want to talk........"0

My goal is 128 and I am the same height, I've been stalled at 132 FOR-EV-ER lol.
125 is low, however if that's what you want and are comfortable with, go for it.0 -
that i'm not fit cos of my size, then i get on that treadmill and run and the stair master (which i never see anyone else on LOL) and rock those weights and everyone is like wtf :O i even catch the PT's looking at me in disbelief sometimes LOL.0

People haven't told me their misconceptions about me since I was a teenager.
I guess based on my appearance alone, you wouldn't guess that
- the focus of my major was Black and African-American Lit.
- my eldest son is about to turn 14 in a few months
- I understand Spanish
- we were almost homeless a few times when I was a kid0 -
- im a ***** (guess i just have that look?)
- im stupid (cause im blonde)
- im 18 (really 26)0 -
1) I get asked if i take steroids...... a lot
The answer is no Im not lazy i work for what I have but, Thanks for asking.
2) that I look like an *kitten*
Im actually laid back and like to joke around with everybody. Kids, friends, strangers, business people, hell even my parents laugh at some of the goofy *kitten* I do.0 -
NO, I am NOT pregnant! Jerk.0
-
- that I'm an innocent girl with great life (in reality, I went through some rough stuff in the last year).
- that because I have a thigh gap and tiny wrists I cannot be strong or kick your *kitten*.
- that I worship Satan because I love wearing black or dark brown nail polish (that's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard).0 -
- that I worship Satan because I love wearing black or dark brown nail polish (that's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard).
That makes me roll my eyes so far back into my skull that I can see my brain!!!!0 -
That I am 15 and my kids sister rather than their mom. lol0
-
Because im too big people use to think that slaps in the back or friendly hits doesnt hurt me or... that heavy things are weightless for me!
