camibami Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I know I shouldn't be proud, but whatever. I don't really feel a bit bad for my poor behavior.:tongue_smilie: I went to the pool with another mom, and we met some of her friends there. They talked about diets for about 2 hours straight. I don't wear a bathing suit, I am terribly self concious of my ribs sticking out and I just don't like to swim anyway, I get too cold. Anyway, they moved on to talking about people who are too skinny, and how gross it is, and on and on. And I am sitting right there! And then they offered advice to me about how much better I would look with "curves"!! Which I don't doubt, but for 37 years I have looked exactly like this, and it ain't changing, no matter what I do. I was seriously pissed off- I just met these women, today! I didn't say anything to them about diets or eating or body shape- I sewed my DD's leotard quietly while they were talking- and they just launch into how gross it is to be skinny! So I got up and bought myself 2 Klondike bars and a Coke from the snack stand, sat back down, and enjoyed my junk food. Thinking, "Enjoy your lettuce, and kiss my bony butt, you rude women!" I know I should feel badly for being so passive aggressive, but I don't. We just got home, I opened this board and saw the other thread and just had to post my bad behavior. I'm going to go eat Doritos on my front porch now. So there. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 :D Why do people feel the need to comment on other people's sizes and tell them how much better they'd look if they changed their appearance? Some people can be so rude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 LOL - that makes me think of the old jingle "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" You earned it by putting up with their reprehensible behavior. Sorry you had to! Blessings, GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Some people who are married try to persuade unmarried people that they'd be happier with a spouse. Some people with kids try to persuade people without kids that they'd be happier with kids. Some women who work outside the home try to persuade SAHMs to also work outside the home to show solidarity among women's rights to not be stuck in the old-fashioned traditional female role. Some women who are SAHMs try to persuade working women to stay home to show that the old-fashioned traditional female roles are still important and should be coveted. Some people don't understand that opinions are not always to be shared and that sometimes they should just stay quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalypso Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Your post made my day. While I don't consider myself skinny, I am thin even after having 6 babies, and I get a lot of comments about it. I think your response to those ladies was perfect! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Cami, They were just jealous - they wish they weren't fat and it irritates them to see people who aren't. Rude people! Ugh! You did the right thing, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I got that in highschool (I don't fall into the "too skinny" category now) when I was 5'6" tall and weighed 105 pounds soaking wet. It was from two little chunky girls. I only assumed they were jealous.... ;) I am so sorry that happened to you! But good for you eating those Klondike bars in front of their flappy rears!

stripe Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 ?! So you should have more curves, and being skinny is not so attractive, but they are on a diet? Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertechmom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm not skinny any longer but I would have bought a Klondike bar and eaten it right along with you to show support.:D I was painfully skinny for many many years due to undiagnosed Celiac disease and the comments were not fun!
