Some guy called me a stick

Last night I was at the grocery and was in the checkout line when some guy said "Darlin' what's a little stick like you doing with all that diet stuff?"  I just gave him "that look" and didn't say anything.  Well, today I was telling a coworker what happened and she said "What's wrong with that.  You are a stick!"  I don't know if I should be insulted or complimented.  And, why do people feel they are entitled to comment on a stranger's eating habits?  Would he have said a year ago "Lardass, what's a pig like you doing with all those cookies?"  Just my rant.

LOL  Yea Terri you sure have a good point there!  We can never please anyone huh?  So you know what I just make sure to please myself. Hang in there Mini-Me

hahaha Just enjoy it !  I mean, don't ya just love hearing that just once??!!  I would have laughed and said thanks!  It was a weird way to give a compliment so just make the most of it.  Hope I hear that some day soon. ((HUGS)) Jolene

I say just be darn proud of your wieght loss! I've been told so many things since surgery about my weight, mostly that I was too thin for a while. I just smiled and thought wow, I've never heard that before.

This is a classic case of taking what was said with a grain of salt. Because you can bet your bottom dollar a year ago if you had those things in your cart he would have been thinking, "What does she have that for" and not too mention he might not have said that statement about the cookies but he definitely would have thought it or made some kind of facial expression letting you know exactly how he felt about it. You are looking great and fabulous and people say all kinds of things out of their mouths, just chalk it up, don't take it negatively, zoom in on the fact that he said "stick" which equates to skinny, smile and keep it moving.  hugs shon

i can't  stand everyone and their opinion.............and it will never go away - it seems that people ahve all the right answers for me - i'm pre-op and SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about making a surgery date, but everyone seems to have the answers about why is hsouldn't do it, how i can diet and be succsuessful, what i should grocery shop, what my body looks like, but i thought it was only myopinionated freinds, not strangers in a grocery store.     lol darlene 45 306lbs and can't wait to loose 1/2 of me~!
