My Motivation

That's true. I feel u on that, life IS too short...but a little smart remark may have slipped my lips, lmbo! Keep up the good work and just do YOU, ur looking good sir! Kerbi

I think his using you as the example was a bit much! Did he find an undernourished person in class and discuss their health status? Who did he deem "normal and healthy"...and if so, did he give them the medical tests to prove it?

I woulda been giving my HR manager an earful and a couple of choice promises after a meeting like this...

Exactly!  he is lucky that didnt happen!

I don't agree with him using you as an example in front of everyone. I know at the end of this there was a rating or questionair. Trust me that's when he would have gotten it from me on paper to let his superiors knowthat he was unethnical. Beside that I would have pulled him to the side on a break or something and let him know that that was very unprofessional. But you handle that well because you found your motivation.

While, I didn't want to disrespect him in that environment. I did let him have it on the Course Evaluation. He saw the look on my face when I sat  back down and I THOUGHT he understood. But then he used me again on the 2nd day of class. I'm actually talking to my Regional President tonight about it. While he did motivate me, it was not because that was his intention, but because I'm better than that. I really wanted to swing on him! lol

You are indeed further along in your spiritual walk than I...because I would have asked him to calculate the risk of his losing his job once HR was made aware of his comments and then the subsequent lawsuit....then I would have whooped his ass!

LOL...

You know I didnt realize how far I had come until then. I had a college professor who got out of line with me often. I SHUT HIM DOWN!!! I had people dropping his class so fast they actually passed every student he had that semester.

I cannot stand people who are in a position of leadership who mishandle people. Because i'm not the silent type, I get in other peoples business. Another reason I didnt react is because he was caucasian. I wanted to be careful... I didnt want people to think it was a racist thing. It was purely because of my weight and skinny people are quick to dimiss weight prejudice  as if does not happen.

Good for you!  He was really ignorant!  You really should take the matter  to his superior!  BTW you look great!

This was right on time for me.  I've had people do that to me so many times until I thought it was normal to treat the "fat" girl like that.  I've now lost over 100lbs but I still have people looking down on me because I'm still a big girl and truth be told I was beating myself up.  I gotta start using the words meant for harm from people as my inspiration to do my thang and get my life back.
