Todays troubling thoughts

Aug 30, 2012 13:02

So a friend of mine had a bad date yesterday. The guy she went out with eventually told her it was not going to work out because she has to lose at least 20 lbs. He told her, "you're beautiful, but I can't get past your weight. I mean, this is California." OMG!!!

It reminded me of stupid shit men have said to me in the past. Some men are just like that. They can be an ugly piece of shit, but have no problem judging the looks of women. Granted, my friend is working out and trying to lose her last 20-30 lbs, but hey, that was harsh. However, it has refueled her workouts. It reminded me things my ex-husband would say to be years ago. And what 1 or 2 other men said about my body in the past. It doesn't help that I have a shy, unexpressive man in my life now, so I just assume he thinks I am a fat pig. But, I am not too fat right now. I mean, guys compliment and flirt with me a lot, but I know they would ignore my existence if I was 20 lbs heavier. That really sucks. Men get less grief if they are 20 lbs heavier.

I am motivated to work out today and hopefully I will forget the painful past and remembrance of how much it hurts to be physically insulted.

Wishing everyone a happy and motivated day!
Cali
