OT REPOST: Annoying, RUDE girls!!**long rant!**
I went through the same thing in high school. There was ALWAYS competition between me and another plus size girl who was also known for wearing stylish clothes. I always tried to wear something cute and different everyday. I wasn't going to let myseize stop me from looking desirable. I have a lot of pride, BUT I'm really Sweet and I get along with ANYBODY and Everybody. This one chick was just a lost cause though. Even when I complemented her, she'd walk off. I kiss no ones feet so I'd give her tude right back. Maybe she didn't like me because she liked this cute guy who preferred bigger girls and when he talk to me she try to cut in. I always noticed that there was some kinda secret competition. People would compare us. We were the same size, but I'm sure I weigh more. I weigh a lot more in comparison to my size. It's weird. I know what you're going through.
It seems that the girl at the store felt she couldn't compete with someone smaller so she had to look into her own "category" and judge anyone that she felt smaller than. WHATEVER! Judging by your avatar, you have a beautiful/attractive face and once you lose the weight you wanna lose, you will feel even better. I can see it already. I can't wait for that feeling myself. As for the flashy wanna be rich chick, she was just being a hater, lol.
