MY WHOLE POINT WAS MISSED

ORIGINAL POST:

I think I thought of this after reading the airline posts...

Am I alone in this, or, when you were fat/ still are, do you also do this:

Example: I'm in the seminar and this chic behind me didn't catch her breathe for 30 minutes. I mean loud. And talking loud. So I peeked behind me. I'm thinking if this fat b****  don't shut the eff up, I'll gonna smack her!

Or, I'll be somewhere and I'm like look @ this fat thus and so...

Then I remember: BYTCH, YOU'RE FAT TOO! Then I'm angry, ****ed, sad, remorseful, whatever.  Don't know if it's b/c it's usually people bigger than me or who I perceive to be bigger.

But I think those that complained never saw what was in red. And, where did it EVER say I told someone this?

I was offended by what some said in the airline topic.  BUT NEVER EVER did I attack their character like some attacked mine. I know what I am, what I ain't.  There's NO running away from it.

And there were some post that were FAR worse than mine.  But again the Walmart post I made was what I felt @ the time.  When you are truly HONEST with yourself, you look at ALL your thoughts and emotions -the good, the bad, and the ugly.  You can't accept one and not the other.  The key is to figure out why you thought or felt that at that given time and see how you can change it. And that's what I did in this situation.

But I guess it's b/c I'm new and those are some people's buddies?  I don't know what to make of it.  I just know I'm tired of defending myself.  But I'm not a pushover - I did that for far too long, been bullied too much not to stand up for me.  

Chile - please step over to the corner and let the self righteous indignation bus pass you right on by!!

LOL - remember - this is the net - it's JUST words, and no matter how many you put on TOP of the ones previously stated - SOME will not change their perception of the INTENT or SPIRIT of your original statement.  

C'est la vie - chalk it up and keep it moving.  Now you know the meaning behind the exchange with me and Cookie in the beginning of your thread..... LOL!!!! 

Leave it to you to straighten me out.  Thanks, ma'am.

I need to find something to eat, but I guess these Apidex are working great - not hungry, but gotta eat.  Maybe corn flakes... I sure will miss them post op!

*tips hat* much obliged ma'am. 

Corn flakes?  dat the best you can do?  LOL!  I got chicken, mashed potatoes and peas over here!!!  Corn flakes be DAMNED!!!!!

but - good idea to settle that craving beforehand, there will be MANY things that will 'turn' on you later! 

It's the ONLY cereal I eat - gotta have it w/ sugar.  I can cut  the sugar down, and it's the only consistently sweet thing I eat.  But dumping don't sound cute and w/ my fibro, I have a LOW tolerance for pain...

I'm a salt and potato girl - give me a french fry... and well, you see the results, lol...

I eat the mashed pot, but I don't do chicken or peas (I said I was picky!!)

damn you picky for real!!!  I'm over here wondering how you managed to end up overweight if you ain't doggin out HALF the **** the rest of us were!  LOL - that's like an overweight vegetarian or some **** LMAOOOOOOOO  I know for a FACT the Colonel put at least 50 of my extra pounds on my ass! 

Enjoy the cornflakes and relax ya mind!!! 

Potatoes... biscuits...

Seriously, I ate more when I was smaller than I do now. I think  the difference is I was always HYPER active- always moving.  Got to college and there it went. Exercise was hard - marching band (we had to run laps and it was football AND Mardi Gras parades that are 3-6 miles long.  Did track for a minute... loved to lift weights.  It was fun, not work...

Take a deep breath, relax, and step away from the computer for a few. 

I don't think anyone was questioning your character and if it did happen I missed it-I didn't read the thread too closely.  We all have those moments when our initial response might not be the most positive and girl you were brave for putting what might be a negative opinion out there.

You have to remember this is the internet, written words have the likely hood of being misinterpreted and so many people are on the boards you never what type of reaction you will get.

Personally I don't have a problem with your original post, its a public board-you have the right to post/ask questions about anything on your mind.

Peace, love, and hair grease girl!

Personaly, I wouldn't sweat that ****  I said what I said and I stand behind it 100%.  Too bad if folks don't agree with me.   

The problem that I have with those that seemed to attack you (but really didn't if you think about it) is that they are probably the same ones like you and me, who will see young black men and young black women actin' da fool out in public, on the news, in the mall, etc... and think to themselves but never say aloud, "Look at those *****s...  I swear I can't stand them sometimes..."  These are the same types of folks that will also probably be the first ones to turn around and say how much they love their black brothas and sistas.  Well how come that kinda **** doesn't work in the so-called Fat Community as well?!  No hate there; just an honest assessment of how you felt at the time.  Right?

Toughen up over there, BabyGirl.  Don't let this type of **** get you down.   

**obama fist bump** real talk bruh - real TALK!!!!
