Default Some people...

So I just can not seem too please any one (at least I am happy with myself)...Today in the line at Walgreens, I am standing there waiting to pay with a lady in front of me and two ladies behind me...ladies behind are talking with each other and I hear " I just can not understand why someone would want to be that skinny" I causally look around at her, then look forward again...she says again "It must be horrible to be that skinny" I had had it at the point and turn to her and say " it must be horrible to be so misarable with yourself you feel the need to be harsh to a stranger, I would take being skinny any day over being such a mean old lady like you" I was pissed to say the least...why oh why do are some people so mean, just down right mean and on purpose I will never get that!!! i was proud that I did not tell her to go @*@* herself like I wanted.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Ahh the ladies that say stuff so you can hear them. I have been though stuff like that to. Yes they just piss you off so bad! I had a couple go at me over my weight one day. It went on for several minutes. I finally turned to them and said........ fat can be lost but ugly IS skin deep. And that dont have to be appearences. It usually will shut em up.

Im sorry you had to go though this. Some people in this world are never satisified with anything they have or do.

Some people in this world will never be happy and will go on in life being miserable, complaining and just sad.....When someone talks in such a way its their own insecurities talking. Actually i would have smiled ...then told he to go &^%$ herself.....U are doing a great job. Keep it up.

Good for you!! Why do people feel the need to do that? What IS it about "looks" (especially weight, fat or thin), that gets people so worked up they feel a need to get into a stranger's buisness about it? I mean, it wasn't like they were really "concerned" about you or "cared." That, while still an imposition, might have been nice, but this was just downright mean. And if it wasn't you, it would be someone else for being to fat, or to short, or too tall, or hair too this or that, or clothes too this or that. I just don't know why some people feel that how other people look is their buisness. I mean, to the point where they feel they have a right to be like that.

You NEVER know where someone has come from to get where they are.

But you were right on with what you said back, and I'm so glad you did!

I'm still "big" in my head so it wouldnt have occurred to me they were talking about me! My second thought is that I would have said "that's the nicest thing you could have said to me" I may feel different when I get there ---- I also tend to 'kill 'em with kindness'. Still, why do people do that? I think you handled it just right - although I doubt they had enough sense to be embarrassed at being called down.

There is just no excuse for someone being so mean. Had they known what you ahve gone through and where you have come from to be where you are at and how you are now struggling to GAIN weight when you spent most of your life fighting to LOSE weight they may not have been so quick to speak. But in the end we cannot change everyone we run into, we can only change ourselves and our own attitudes towards the people we meet.
