Ugh!! What a bitch!
Sep 28, 2010
Today I was in the grocery store minding my own business doing some shopping when I hear "hi"...."hi"...."hi". I ignore it. As a fat person you learn to ignore things around you because most of the time people make fun of you. So you learn to tune it all out. Besides if someone knew me they would know my name. Then she came right up next to me and said "hi". I looked at her, I have no idea who she is. She says "let me give you something that might help you". Then it dawned on me. I had seen this woman before and she tried this same shit on me last time.
*flashback* I was in the checkout lane when this lady behind me gave me this cheap looking business card that only had a phone number on it and told me in spanish to call that number and get this product. I couldn't grasp everything she was saying because my spanish sucks. But basically she was trying to pedal some miracle weight loss elixir. "Just take 2 drops a day! I lost 60lbs in a month! Its $300+ for a month supply" Of course I wasn't buying it, but she put me in an awkward situation so I was just like "ok thanks". But I was insulted. This is not the first time i've been targeted as I randomly shopped in a store (happened once at SEARS too) for being fat and having someone offer to solve my problem. I find it so incredibly rude and insulting.
*flashforward to the present*
So this woman not only came up to me, she tracked me down quite annoyingly. she's like "hi. hi. hi. hi. hi, here i have something that might help" and she starts to go into her purse and i say NO THANK YOU and i walk away. But it really pissed me off. I swear if anyone ever comes up to me and pulls that shit again I will say "You know what, fuck you. And don't ever come up to me again." So fucking rude.
This is what pisses me off. People look at you and just because you're heavy they assume they need to fix you or say things like "have you ever thought of losing weight?" and they have NO IDEA what you're doing. You could be working out every day and dieting. They don't know that. You could have just had wls and they don't know that either! They just assume shit and they're so fucking rude. Hey strangers, keep your fucking opinions to yourself.
