Too fat, too skinny, can't win either way

I overheard a lady commenting about skinny people, more importantly, skinny women. She pointed out that one woman was too skinny and probably only eats a cracker and a salad. She then went on to say that she enjoys eating too much, and that someone needed to find her a cow cause she wanted some steak. The woman making the comment wasn't obese, but she wasn't tiny either. It really brought to my attention that regardless of what we weigh, there's always going to be someone shooting off at the mouth. It's our jobs to be happy with ourselves. If you're fat, you probably "eat like a cow". If you're skinny, you "starve yourself". People SHOULD learn to keep their mouths shut, but we know that will never happen.

Either way, it's up to us to be happy with ourselves. Yes, I am losing weight. Will I ever apologize for that? Nope. I will also NEVER feel the need to explain myself or my decisions to some drunk wanker in a restaurant/bar. :) I think she has some inner demons...including the one that's demanding a live cow to, in HER words, "murder that ***** for some STEAK". lol The things you hear...

She sounds absolutely gross no matter what she looks like.  I despise people who talk like that about animals.

Right, we have to be happy with ourselves.  Whether we want them or not, there are just certain things we are never going to get.  Make the best of what you have and show it off like it is the best bod in the world.  Who cares what others think.  Not everybody has good sense or good taste.

You got that right.  It is up to us to make ourselves happy.  I can occupy my time feeling sorry for myself or I can take control and make the best of it.  That woman is a freak for sure.  I will admit, weight & food are always on my mind but I don't need to blabber my mouth all day long to annoy everyone!!

I don't understand anyone who is just like, "skinny girls suck," "fat girls suck," "real women have curves."  How about we just stop the girl hate and **** shaming.  ALL BODIES ARE GOOD BODIES.  That's my motto.

It is so true about how you feel about yourself is what really matters.  Everyone has a different opinion, yet only my opinion affects me.

"Long" ago....lol..... I was really into weight lifting and fitness, I had a hard body and felt really good about myself, not high and mighty, just healthy, active, and really happy. 

I was out one time and I didn't' realize I was standing in front of a man at a get together watching a crowd, when he said, "Move fat-ass!!"  I really turned around and laughed at him....it didn't bother me a bit.....rather I thought he was a total idiot.  However if the same thing happened to me today, I would probably cry........

I never really thought about it before now.

The entire idea of how big a plate or bowl should be is distorted.  I'm having my surgery on Wednesday the 10th.  I found these really cute tiny bowls on clearance at Kohls.  The girl at the register said how cute they were and would I be using them to serve "nuts".  I told her no, I plan to eat food out of them.  So then she says, you must mean ice cream.  I say, no FOOD.  She says, but the bowls are so small.  I said "I know, that's the point"  lol   It was a comical conversation that made me LOL for real.
