Re: Why are people so cruel?

When you have reached your goal weight run back by that house and see if they laugh again.

Pay individuals like these no kind of mind, Michele. In the meantime, channel that anger into raw ambition - make it into lemonade!

I'll totally help with the dog poo idea ~ that is brilliant. I'll even volunteer my dog to help out with the... sample.

Those people seriously lack class. I am sorry that you had to experience their stupidity & rudeness. We are all standing by you!

Re: Why are people so cruel?

You know what, don't worry about those people. You are doing what you need to do for you, and you only. It doesn't matter what anyone says or does, you have the power over your life. Obviously it doesn't help, but learn to ignore them. You'll be the one laughing in the long run, saying, remember when...who's laughing now!!!

Good Luck, don't let it getyou down!! Chin up!

Re: Why are people so cruel?

So sorry you had that experience. Jerks! But think how good you'll feel when you reach goal and run by their house then!

Sheila said it well: Make Lemonade.

I'm glad that you're alright sweet, sensitive, soul. I can totally relate to you. Its a good thing your brother nipped the situation with you in the bud about those ignorant people. That wasn't nice of those mean senior citizens!! What nerve!! Whenever cruelness rears its ugly head to you, then that's a sign that you're on the right track, and its meant to deter you but rejoice in knowing its a confirmation that good things are a coming.
Keep Running Girl!!!

Re: Why are people so cruel?

I agree. This was cruel of them!


I'd like to punch them out, personally... and I'm not a violent person by any means.

People tend to lash out at others with insults and mockery as a result of their own insecurity. We see it out there in many forms every day.

But I'm sorry you had to deal with this particular bull****.

Re: Why are people so cruel?

Hey, at least you're out there running, trying to make a positive lifestyle change and not sitting on your a$$ like those two vultures!

Don't let people like that discourage you!

Re: Why are people so cruel?

Well it certainly helped when my brother said the guy has had 7 warrants for his arrest over the years. He also said the woman was one of the hardest people he has had to deal with in a while with his job. He is just waiting for the next call. They have mental problems. It is quite ironic that he knew exactly who I was talking about and had been to their house the previous day.

I had some mean thoughts, I won't lie, but I'm over it now. I need to remember that when people act that way, there is something seriously wrong in their own lives. It has nothing to do with me. I was just last nights entertainment.

My husband and I started laughing about it last night. He thought I should go jogging tonight braless and wearing all spandex. Now that would get some looks. LOL

Re: Why are people so cruel?

With loonies like that in your neighborhood, be sure to inform your famiy where you are going when you jog.

Granted some people might not agree with me on this, but bring a cellphone with you too. And always be aware of your surroundings.

Re: Why are people so cruel?

.... I'm sure I'm not a pretty sight running, but at least my fat *ss is out there doing something about it....At this point in their lives they have nothing better to do but sit on their porch and make fun of people.

EXACTLY!!!! I would have said something back to them personally, but I was born without the little door that shuts off what I think from what I say.

Your out there doing what you need to do to fix what your not happy with about yourself. They obviously have issues with themselves so they need to try to make themselves feel better.

Keep doing what your doing and if it were me, I'd run by that house every day and wave and smile as I jog by, just a little skinnier than the day before!

Tell me about it That's a good description.

Oh btw, They have mental problems? In that case I definitely wouldn't trip.

I do this already. I always go walking/jogging with my son in his stroller and I like having the security of a cell phone. The area I was jogging is on a very busy street, but not the best area. I live on a nice little court, but there are alot of trouble makers that are just blocks from where I live.

I would have said something back to them personally, but I was born without the little door that shuts off what I think from what I say.

I wanted to say something, but I have a little spot in my brain that says, Don't, you don't know if these people are off balance. My luck, I would say something back and they would come after me.

Re: Why are people so cruel?

Momtofour - What you need to do is keep running past that house. Let them see over time how your hard work and persistence is paying off and who their rear ends are getting wider from sitting there and watching you! As you get slimmer, let the clothes you wear get smaller. That man will feel like an *ss when his tongue starts hanging out and his wife gets mad at him!!!!

My sentiments exactly!

Although running by their house braless in spandex might be a nice way of saying, "Hi! I'm your friendly neighbor!".

Kudos for you running in the first place!! Woo hooo!

Re: Why are people so cruel?

Just love the mental picture... Momtofour jogging braless in spandex as jacksuncle deposits the poo...

The world is full of all kinds - when you encounter the wierdos jerks & @ssh****, just let their hurtful gestures roll off you like water off a ducks back. They don't care about anyone but themselves, or those just like them. For a switch, go with a frind one day to their door and pull some dumb reason out of a hat, like have you seen my lost such and such- you act a little goofy (after all you don't care what they ever think) and you may just get a lovely heap of dirty laundry on them you can laugh it up with friends about.
