Re: Post-fat negative comments

You know what, I basically have always tried to think that most people are decent and nice. What an eye opener. Barb, you are such a beautiful young lady, I can not believe that your BF father would have thought like this, and it makes me even madder that the BF mother shared it with you.

People do not realize how hard we all work to get in the shape we are. Some people have had it easy, myself included, and others have really realy worked hard to no avail for some reason or another, I try to be understanding to anyoney I talk to, overweight, underweight, right size, wrong size, I don't know, maybe I'm a 'weirdo' I still believe in that saying, do unto others as you would do unto yourself!!

I love you guys! The support of this board is priceless!

Yesss, we've all been there!
hugs to you Baarb, I got little heckles just reading this thread, but that's ok because there are always people in this world who dp such things. I just can't believe that your BF's mother actually told you. That's what burns me up, she obviously got some kind of satisfaction in dumping that on you.
I so believe in karma hehe

Your BF sounds like a wonderful man Baarb

Re: Post-fat negative comments

Lulubell - I'm a little torn over this. On one hand I think it's kind of disrepectful to those who are in scooters or wheelchairs through a disability since birth or an accident to treat those who overeat and get big as in the same category. i bet lots of people in chairs would love to have to chance to really work out and get healthy. On the other hand I think that in some (probably quite rare) cases people get fat through some weird physically propensity to eat and gain and gain - like this kid I saw on TV who always felt hungry, like starving hungry and would even eat carpet if locked in his room.

Every person situation is different that may be in a chair.. I have major feet problem.. Now I can walk anywhere..but I have to be able to sit in between things.. Like for example amusement parks..I sit at every ride the kids go on... Because my feet can't take it.. I was in so much pain one day when we went to Target and I was going to use a wheelchair...But I didn't..cause of pride..

Re: Post-fat negative comments

I couln't imagine what it would be like to be your BF's mother living with that man. The pressure she must be under to be 'perfect' because her hubby is so shallow. It's easier to drop weight than it is to change shallow thinking.
