Great vent!
And what is with people choosing to be orange lately? yikes.
its fun to imitate Oompa Loompas0 -
I hate it when I'm out running and pass someone, and smile, wave or nod... and get nothing but a stare back. Where I live it's mainly the women that do that, most men will at least nod. I think that some people are rude and others are in their own little world, maybe they didn't even register what you did until after they pass you. If I'm working out really hard I'm lucky if I can breathe let a lone smile. Try not to let things like that ruin your day, it's not worth it. You got out there and did your workout and you should hold on to that great feeling! There is a chick at my gym that never smiles. At anyone. Ever. She is young and gorgeous. When I pass her in the hall I smile and she just gives me this deadpan look. I see her at least 2x per week. I've started smiling bigger at her! = D
I was running last weekend, looking up and nodding, etc., to each passerby. Then I tripped and landed on my face b/c I wasn't looking at the path, instead I was nodding at a few people passing me by. I really bloodied my lip and chin. Please don't take it personal if I don't look up and nod anymore. :flowerforyou:0 -
Ouch. I work out to relieve stress from my life. Sometimes, I have horrible thoughts in my head, and if I make eye contact at the wrong time it could be perceived as ill will towards the other. I think you look very good... I don't know what you are talking about.
I will avoid the lake from now on... I am sorry...

I read the entire thing and never got a response. Don't leave us hanging..... did he or did he not say he was going home to wash his eyes out with battery acid???
No he didn't say he was going to. And I don't want him to either, he's good looking even behind the scowls. He shouldn't pay for my failure to maintain certain aesthetic qualities.0 -
LMAO This made me LOL at work. I got odd looks. Too funny!!!0 -
You got all this from one scowl? From one look?
How certain are you that he didn't just have gas pains at the same time you noticed him looking in your general direction?0 -
Are you sure he was really scowling at you? I've never actually seen this happen in real life, who has the energy and why would he care?
:noway: Ooo...you've never been to NY, have you?
Sure have...and I've jogged through Central Park and I still have never seen anyone giving a "fat person get off the planet look" like the OP is talking about. I'm not talking about someone cutting you off in traffic or something. This kind of **** is in people's heads and it has to do with their self esteem. Nobody is sitting around staring at fat people and wondering why they're working out or wanting them off the planet as the OP says...just isn't reality.
:huh: Riiight. Because we all know that prejudice doesn't exist.0 -
Ain't no STOPPING us now!!!
I was projecting, I am narcissistic, terrible self esteem, it was a reflection on me, forgive me MFP, for I have sinned and insulted someone AND I am a complete attention-seeking hypocrite! LOVE IT!
The next person who doesn't smile at me when I walk is getting punched.
Yeah, this really isn't helping your case any. Jussayin'.
I have fibromyalgia. When I'm working out, it hurts like a b*tch. I feel like my joints are being ripped from their sockets. It's not conducive to smiling. I have probably been guilty of this kind of expression myself, and more than once, I'm sure it's been inadvertently "directed at" someone because that's just where my gaze happened to fall. Trust me, I'm the last person to judge anyone. You have no idea what kind of injury he may be recovering from, or he just might be irritated that he has to work out and he doesn't feel like it. There are a million reasons for scowling that have nothing to do with you. Your overblown reaction to some fairly mild criticism by MFP standards pretty well illustrates your sensitivity. Guess what? That's not his fault. Just like his scowling wasn't yours. This just shouldn't be such a big deal.
Ask yourself this: had the person doing the scowling been out of shape and visibly struggling, or even just a person with an average body type, would you have thought the same things? Didn't think so. So aren't you just as guilty as you perceive him?
I can tell you from personal experience, having started working out at 335 lbs, and still being "only" 100 lbs lighter, I've not even once had anyone appear to be judging me to my face. I very seriously doubt it was about you at all.0 -

No he didn't say he was going to. And I don't want him to either, he's good looking even behind the scowls. He shouldn't pay for my failure to maintain certain aesthetic qualities.
Okay... see there is the problem right there. Stop beating yourself up for the bad choices of your past and start focusing on the good choices you have made for your future.0 -

WORD. If you ever venture to Reddit they have tons of fat shaming over there. It may not be always in public but behind the curtain of the 'net, its there in droves.0 -

Ok, good to know he did not actually come out and say that. If he had, I would say he was a total scumbag, but since he didn't, my guess is he didn't even know you were there. Not in a bad way, but rather he was more than likely focused on his workout and his stuff than thinking about eye bleach, because of you. I would really not put too much thought into what he was thinking unless you are a mind reader. Woosah!0 -

There! Let. It. Go.
A negative internal monologue that interprets any off putting glance as an attack isn't going to put you in a good mindset. Recognize it for what it is and move on. Oh, and nice walk!0 -

But that's the point. It happens on the net...usually by "brave" internet warrior teenagers...but not in real life...and even in those rarest of moments when it does happen (because fine, there are some real dbags out there who do this to everyone, not just overweight people), you just can't reach this conclusion from ONE look...from a casual glance...(even if you thought it was a scowl).
It's in OP's head. Not saying that isn't a real problem that she needs to overcome, and I sincerely hope she does, but the problem almost certainly isn't with scowling fit guy.0 -
He could suffer from what I have "b!tchy face" I'm a really nice person (most of the time) but I have eternal b!tch face

You probably hit the nail on the head. I had unleased my inner child (who was taunted and teased mercilessly as a child for being chunky) responding in a hypersensitive way to something probably completely benign, and even if not benign, should not affect me. Ok time to let that **** go.

I love this attitude! OP, I used to think the same way you are...but then I changed my way of thinking. Life is too short and too d*mn precious to spend it reflecting your own insecurities on to others. Oompa Loompa tan...SMH.0 -

Good. The world is a much nicer place when we are able to recognise that most of the people in it are not against us.0 -

LMFAO....
I was fat...I've never had anyone give me a death stare because I was fat. I am now fit...I could give a rats *kitten* if you're fat and running in the park or in the gym or whatever. I'm getting my fitness on...I really don't care about what is going on around me. Someone could nod at me in the gym and I'd probably not even acknowledge them at all...'cuz I'm in my zone and getting it on. Maybe you should worry more about that and less about what you perceive others to be thinking about you. Unless they say something directly to you, you don't have a ****ing clue and are just making assumptions based on your warped perceptions.0 -
I once had a jerk in a huge truck honk his horn and yell "FAT *kitten*!" at me when I was walking my dog.0

For what it's worth, when I pass someone, I give a subtle wave/nod...so subtle that it isn't distracting to them, but if they're looking to see if I waved or nodded, they'll see it (and won't think I was ignoring them if they happened to wave or nod). However, I do *not* look to see if they reciprocate because, well, it really isn't that important to what I'm doing at that moment. And personally, I think it can be rude to gesture wildly or say something. I know I find it a little distracting sometimes.0 -

That's happened to me at least twice, on the flip side, I did get wolf whistles too.
The worst was In HS a bunch of guys spit tons of loogies on my car and wrote nasty "fat" notes on my car. Outright miserable feeling! I am happy for anyone who didn't get taunted growing up.0
