I went to the gym yesterday and busted my butt on the ellipticals and rowers. Sore as hell now. But that isn't the story.

Had a woman who is really thin and gorgeous come up to me BEFORE my workout asking why I was drinking so much water before- LMAO I cracked up and said if you don't get hydrated before your energy levels bottom out quick. She looked at me like I was nuts and said that was the silliest thing she had ever heard. I did my workout and she started hers around the same time I did and she actually had to stop first. All the while complaining of the cramps and stuff people who workout get if they are not properly hydrated.

I stopped roughly 10 minutes after she did because I was on a schedule and as I was walking out she looked at me and said I guess FAT people do know a thing or two. All I could do was smirk and say- TOLD YA.

The fat people remark didnt even phase me. My new mantra here lately has been- Fat can go away but UGLY stays forever. THe woman is a regualr at the gym, wonder how she is gunna react when I get thin and am STILL doing my water trick- before, during, and after? I might start recording the stupid crap people say.

You would be very surprised actually. I have had people sneak looks into my grocery cart and make a sly comment on things I was getting- mind you I am married and I also shop for my mother in law sometimes.

I have had people point out how big my butt is and what they thought of it.

Never mind the "compliments" people have- like you have a pretty face, but it would look better if you weren't so big.

LMAO!!!! Laughter has become something that I rely on. If I took every snarky thing people have said to me and took it to heart I would never leave the house.

Congrats to you - for being smart and for being patient with those who are obviously not.  I think you should record the "stupid crap" people say so you can write a book and make big bucks.  Then you will be thin, healthy, and rich - and wonder what she would say then...

You gotta wonder why someone would have such a lack of manners.  I mean, did she grow up in a home where she was horribly neglected and verbally abused by her parents, so that's how she learned to talk to people?  Or is she somewhat mentally retarded so she has a hard time learning normal social skills?

LOL kelly. I dunno- but it didn't bother me. I figured her brain matched her tiny ass and she just couldnt take a full load of thinking on without busting a vessel.

I formly believe that one day she will get hers. so it doesnt bother me anymore. I ca not let it bother me because as I said before if i did, i would never leave my house again and believe me- been there done that.


I am finding some of the comments kind of funny because I am thinking that once I drop the weight WHAT will their reactions be then? HOw will they treat me different? I am gunna remember yesterday really well (i did write it down LOL) and next year if she is still there and if she makes nother comment or even pays me a compliment I will remind her that I was the smart FAT chick. I will be sure to have a camera on hand for the look of shock.
