WARNING:
IRATE RANT AND EXPLICIT LANGUAGE


Forgive me for not blogging much lately on here, I haven't had much to say. I haven't had much going on; have hit a MAJOR plateau. My weight fluctuates between 182 and 188. Can't seem to get below 182. I am pissed off at the world today. Two incidents involving my weight have been brought to my attention in just the past 24 hours.

FIRST INCIDENT:
Yesterday, I was at work and this older man who comes in regularly and is known for pissing people off made a smart-ass comment to me. At work we have a dog who is so so so hyper that I will take a golf cart in the mornings and drive around and he will run and chase me, so I get him to run off a lot of his energy. This "gentleman" said to me and everyone else in the pro shop "Sarah needs to let the dog on the cart and let him drive around and her run around"...pissed me off SO DAMN BAD! UGH!!! That is NOT something you say to someone who has worked their ASS off to lose 120 pounds in just a little over a year. And he KNOWS where I was a year ago. I said to him "Mr. Ray, it really saddens me when a man as old as yourself doesn't know right from wrong" and just walked out. I had to be polite, but what I wanted to say was "FUCK YOU, BUDDY. GO TO HELL!"...yeah a little strong I know. But what right does he have to sit there and try to bring me down when I finally feel a little good about myself??

SECOND INCIDENT:
Not nearly as bad, just pissed me off because I'm still upset about yesterday. This morning another older gentleman just came in and asked me if I am still on my diet. I said "yes but after losing 120 pounds I'm not losing as quickly as I used to"..he went on to tell me I need to exercise. I told him I do exercise. He just continued telling me what I NEED to do! MISTER! IVE LOST 120 POUNDS! I KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO! I KNOW HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT! I DO NOT NEED YOU (Who probably has never had a weight problem in his entire life) TO TELL ME WHAT I NEEEEEED TO DO! MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!

The thing is, I am still working hard to lose weight, but I have been fat my entire life. I am skinnier now than I have EVER been in my life. I am only 30 pounds over-weight now!! ISNT THAT FUCKING AMAZING?! WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST LET ME BE HAPPY AND DO WHAT I KNOW I NEED TO DO I will get to my goal weight eventually, but is it really a race? My body can only lose as fast as it wants to...I just makes me so mad. It hurts my feelings, why should my feelings be hurt when I've accomplished SO MUCH already...

Another small incident that was MEANT to not be bad but still hurt my feelings because I'm already so sensitive to it. Last night I was talking to my boyfriend about the first incident I mentioned. I stated "I'm fat" ...my boyfriend then said "you are not fat!" I then being a girl tricked him into a lose/lose statement by saying "Well I am probably the biggest girl you've been with" and he said "...well you're still not fat"
dot..dot..dot...
HE SHOULDNT HAVE SAID THAT! I wasnt mad at him but my feelings were again hurt. I know he was just being honest, I AM THE BIGGEST...but he should have lied and said "no baby i was with this WHALE of a bitch before you" or something like that...

Anyway. I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing...and if that doesnt start working soon I'll just become an anorexic

First dude, yeah, he's a jerk. You handled it well. Job well done. You kept your cool but expressed yourself and informed dude that his comments were inappropriate. My hat goes off to you, because I wouldn't have had the courage to say that. Second dude, I know I wasn't there so my take on this could be a little off, but older people weren't taught to be "politically correct". They usually just say what's on their mind. Second dude to me sounds like he has definately noticed your transformation and he's noticed your plateu. I think this was his way of trying to encourage you to continue exercising and loosing weight. I'm sure he doesn't know anything about plateaus and the weight loss journey. He has probably just assumed that since you've stopped loosing weight so fast that you've either given up or that you're happy with the weight you are now. Either way, I really think this guy was just trying to be helpful in his own clumsy way. And yes, boyfriends don't always know what to say. I'm sorry you had such a bad day. It really is hard to hear such negative comments. People who are naturally slender or who have never had weight problems don't understand the journey we have to go through. They just look at larger sized people and assume it was a lack of self control that led us to get so large. Did you know that slender men and women earn more money than their larger counterparts. This is because corporate america has made the assumption that slender people are more disciplined and therefore make better workers. This attitude in America infuriates me to no end. But I'll stop there or else I'll be here all day ranting about that topic. :D

Terrylm- I am sure you are right about the second guy just trying to help, but it still makes me mad. He should just mind his own business! It came off rude to me. The first guy was completely uncalled for and no excuse could make it right! Thanks everyone for your kind words! Truly made me feel better when I was so so so upset!

Sorry I'm just now reading this. I would have commented but it looks like everyone took care of it for me! You're awesome, and beautiful, and you've accomplished alot. Of course weightloss slows down as you get closer to your goal. It sucks being the big girl, I know I never lose that part of me.
