It finally happened...

Someone told me today that I didn't look well, that I looked "anemic..." Then two minutes later someone else asked me if I needed money for new clothes. (I haven't replaced my workclothes as frequently as I needed to and I just wear the casual clothes that were given to me.) I look fine durn it! Be-yotches... I think I'll start taking a collection for a new work wardrobe. If you don't like the way I look, put some money in the jar. Don't hate me cause you ain't me. Kathy

Aren't people wonderful!!! Gotta love them. I can't believe someone asked you if you needed money for new clothes. That is rude!! Well...tell them to bite you skinny booty!! gotta love da' haters.... Rachel

They are just jealous!!!! You are gorgeous Melissa

I got the clothes comments all the time.....with honest offers from some of the girls to alter them for me!! I was just loosing too fast to keep up with clothes on my single income. As for the comments about how you look, well I've had them but primarily from my family.....some from friends. I even discussed with my plastic surgeon at one point......just a jealously thing. His words: You're either already smaller and look better than they do or they're afraid that you're going to. Too true. My family was telling me to stop loosing weight when I hit around 195 lbs. I'm like what???? I'm hovering around 160 now with my GB surgeon's goal of 150 still my goal as well. I get comments of 'you're going to look sick if you lose anymore weight!!' Real encouraging. They don't realize I guess that I've worked hard for this and damnit, I'm not going to still be considered overweight when it's all said and done!! I was 7.5 lbs from goal as of this morning. I just consider the source and the probable reason behind it when people make comments to me about my appearance. I've made a drastic change, granted (I'll get around to posting pictures one day) but this is about me and not them. I see myself naked all the time and well......they don't!! I know where the rest of the weight is sitting at!! Sounds like you've got the right idea about how to respond!
