man you guys have had so many instances where I would have thrown a drink in someone's face! ug!
The one that stings the most was before diagnosis I got a 2nd hand elliptical machine and was doing that about 30-45 minutes a day, and lost about 5lbs in 3 months. It was bad enough my EXhusband would make fun of how I looked when I exercised, I was telling my skinny blond perfect looking friend how i had tried and tried to lose weight those months and nothing had happened. She then responds with "why don't you come to my gym, i can bring someone with me for free" and i told her i thought something was wrong that I had gone that far and lost almost nothing...well she droped it then but kept badgering me on occasion to go with her to the gym. I finaly told her "Look X, I would be really embarised to be in work out clothes around a bunch of fitness nuts who i know will be thinking 'look at the fat chick'". so she responds with "i've just kept on you about this because i think you'd be really beautiful if you just lost 60lbs." I told her I was beautiful now and if she didn't see that, it was her problem.. she appologised but it really stung.
my mother always told me she didn't understand why i didn't have boyfriends in highschool, that you'd think they could over loook the fact i was fat because i have big boobs. thanks mom. thanks.
she'd also always gripe at me about trying to fit into "skinny clothes" that i looked like crap...and she'd get angry and me and call me selfish for getting depressed about my size.... one time she didn't see me for about a year, and I HAD been trying to lose weight again, happy i told her "hey i think i've lost weight these pants are loser" she then glares at me like a moron and says "um, i wasn't going to tell you but you're obviously fatter then when i saw you last." thanks again mom!
I once had a woman at layne briant measure my cup size (wrong), and informed me loudly infront of all the customers that they don't make bra's big enough for me. I just picked up my purse and told her she was a dumb b**** cause foley's does, and stormed out.
I've had little teeny girls make comments about my weight before and i just annouce that the concept of asult on a minor charges don't stop me from slaping ignorent little girls who obviously want it...and they tend to simmer down.
One time i had this very very gay manager of mine annouce that all the men must love me because of my big titties, and grabed them and told me I was sexy. that actualy made me feel good for some weird reason (we had a grabby kind of relationship). He had this whole thing about celebrating what is female, and female is round, and you know...other ignorant people aside, i'm gonna go with that. It makes more sense then society lifting up girls who look like little boys with a bra on. |
