AMEN! I just had a day from hell and reading your post makes me feel at home: people suck and there isn't a thing i can do about it. I too hate hearing the bullshit people say when they think I can't hear or the comments on how much I eat or what I eat. I hate it. And tonight just solidified it. I just think its no ones business. Honestly those people just make me want to show them that even though they think that I couldn't be sexy/successful or whatever other barriers, that I CAN.

I recentrly found out i'm insulin resistant and since I have PCOS, I have to take meds and hopefully drop some weight. I am overweight and I will NEVER be skinny by anymeans. Wouldn't want to if I could! and I'm dropping pounds but for once I'm DOING it for me (mostly so I can have kids someday ). I personally think that its fun to confuse thin people at the store when they look at my shopping cart full of veggies, fruit, and splenda. Hehehe....I laughed my ass off at the skinny woman scoffing at me today when she loaded up her cart filled with cheesecake and groundbeef, and noticed my load of yogurt, nectarines and the always tasty cucumber.

I'm lucky and so are you girl! We have friends (like the GREAT Pixie's group) Who love us for who we are! I have a friend who makes it a point to tell me how i good I look every time I see her. It makes me feel alive.

You're beautiful, Sharni. and don't ever change that by letting stupid people get to you.

ps- one of my friends once complained that she wanted to be 'fat' (she was 5'9", 105 lbs) Why? Skinny chicks don't have curves EMBRACE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(whew I ranted way long...please forgive!- I feel MUCH BETTER!)
